extract email address

You do not need to be a developer to pull emails from a web page.

The easiest way is to copy the page source and let the tool scan it.

Quick step-by-step guide

1. Open the web page.
2. Open the source code.
3. On Windows, press ctrl+u.
4. On Mac, it is cmd+u.
5. Select all the source code.
6. Copy it.
7. Paste it into First step: Paste your text here.

That is enough to extract the email addresses found on the page.

Why use the page source?

Sometimes the visible page hides contact details inside links, scripts, or page markup.

The source code can reveal what the normal page view does not show clearly.

Can this also extract URLs?

Yes. The same method can help extract URLs and other links from a page.

If that is what you need most, see How to Extract Phone Numbers and URLs from Text.

What this guide is good for

• Company contact pages
• Directories
• Public profile pages
• Copied search result pages
• Simple lead research

Limits to know

Not every site will work the same way.

• Some websites hide data behind scripts.
• Some load content after the page opens.
• Some pages show no public email at all.

If the page source does not contain the email, the tool cannot invent it.

How to work through many pages

1. Copy one page source.
2. Paste it into the extractor.
3. Save the results in a temporary file.
4. Repeat for the next page.
5. Paste all results back into the extractor once more.

This last step helps remove duplicates.

What to do next

After extraction, you may want to:

• clean the list with How to Clean an Email List
• sort it with How to Sort and Organise Email Lists
• export it with Export Extracted Emails to Excel, CSV, a Database or a Text File

A simple rule

If you can copy text or source from a page, there is a good chance the extractor can help you clean it.
