Question 1

How does the email extraction work?

Accepted Answer

The tool uses a regular expression pattern to identify email addresses in the HTML content. It scans both the visible text and mailto: links to find all email addresses on the page. The regex pattern matches standard email formats (name@domain.com).

Question 2

Can this tool find hidden or obfuscated emails?

Accepted Answer

Yes, to some extent. The tool can find emails in HTML comments, hidden elements, and mailto: links. However, it cannot decrypt heavily obfuscated emails (like those using JavaScript encoding or image-based text) since those require executing JavaScript or OCR.

Question 3

How can I export the extracted emails?

Accepted Answer

You can export emails in three formats: as a simple list (one email per line), JSON array (for developers), or CSV format (perfect for importing into spreadsheets and CRM tools). Just click the corresponding copy button.

Question 4

What happens if the URL fetch is blocked by CORS?

Accepted Answer

Some websites block direct fetching from browsers due to CORS security policies. If this happens, you can manually copy the page's HTML (View Page Source) and paste it into the HTML input field instead. The extraction will work the same way.

Question 5

Is this legal for lead generation?

Accepted Answer

While extracting publicly visible emails is generally legal, you must comply with GDPR, CAN-SPAM, and other regulations when using these emails for marketing. Always ensure you have proper consent before sending marketing emails. This tool is intended for legitimate business purposes only.

Question 6

Is my data stored or shared?

Accepted Answer

No. All email extraction happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your HTML and extracted emails never leave your computer. We don't store, log, or have access to any of the data you process with this tool.
