Email & Contact Extractor
Paste a reply-all field, forwarded thread, or any text — instantly pull out every name and email address. Export as CSV, copy as Name <email>, or grab emails only.
🔒 Everything runs in your browser — no text is sent anywhere.
Common use cases
Reply-all contact list
Hit Reply All on a big meeting invite, then copy the entire To: field here. Get a clean list of everyone on the thread — names and emails — ready to paste into a spreadsheet or CRM.
Forwarded thread cleanup
Paste a long forwarded email with dozens of "From:", "To:", and "CC:" headers. The extractor deduplicates automatically so each person appears once.
CRM import prep
Download contacts.csv and import directly into HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion, or any CRM. The two-column format (Name, Email) matches what most tools expect.
Mail merge first names
Use "First names" copy to get a list of first names for personalising a bulk email — "Hi Sarah," "Hi Tom," — without manually splitting each full name.
Frequently asked questions
What text formats does this tool recognise?
It handles all standard email address formats: "First Last" <email@domain.com> (quoted name), First Last <email@domain.com> (unquoted name), LAST, First <email@domain.com> (Outlook last-first), and plain bare addresses like email@domain.com. Separators can be commas, semicolons, newlines, or any mix.
Why does the tool extract names as well as emails?
When you hit Reply All in Gmail or Outlook, the To: field includes display names alongside addresses. Extracting both lets you export a proper contact list — useful for building a spreadsheet of meeting attendees, importing into a CRM, or sending a personalised mail merge.
What does "LAST, First" normalisation mean?
Outlook often formats names as "JOHNSON, Bob" — last name first, all-caps, with a comma. This tool detects that pattern and converts it to "Bob Johnson" automatically, so your exported list is consistently formatted.
How do I export the contacts to a spreadsheet?
Click "Download .csv" — this gives you a contacts.csv file with Name and Email columns that opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers. You can also click "CSV text" to copy the raw CSV and paste it manually.
What is the "Name <email>" copy format for?
This is RFC 5322 display format — the same format email clients use. You can paste it directly into a Gmail or Outlook To: or CC: field and the names will display correctly.
Does the tool send my text to a server?
No. The entire extraction runs in your browser with a JavaScript regex — no text leaves your device. This makes it safe for sensitive communications like board meeting threads, client emails, or HR lists.
Can I use this to extract emails from a long paragraph or webpage text?
Yes. Paste any text — a forwarded thread, a webpage copy-paste, a CSV dump, or a paragraph mentioning email addresses — and the extractor will find every valid address regardless of surrounding formatting.
