After extraction you can save the collected contacts with the built-in Export Wizard. Use the Save button on the main toolbar to open the wizard and select exactly which data columns to export.

Recommended formats & when to use them

  • .txt / .lst — simple plain lists of emails (one per line); ideal for quick imports to other tools.
  • .csv — best for spreadsheets and CRMs; includes multiple columns (Email, Source URL, Title, Phone).
  • .xlsx — use when you need richer formatting or large tables; keeps types and headers intact.

Excel & CSV tips

  • When opening .csv in Excel, use Import → Delimited (choose comma or semicolon depending on your locale) to prevent locale mis-parsing.
  • If Excel shows numbers or trims leading zeros, import using the Text import wizard and set columns to Text format.
  • To preserve long IDs or phone numbers, always save as .csv with proper quoting or use .xlsx.

Post-export cleanup & best practices

  • Run a duplicate removal and validation step before importing into email platforms to reduce bounce rates.
  • Keep the Source URL column when possible — it helps verify and recheck contacts later.
  • Split very large exports into smaller files if your email platform has import size limits.

Common issues & fixes

  • Blank file after export: verify you selected rows or the correct dataset in the Results pane before exporting.
  • Excel encoding problems: save CSV using UTF-8 encoding or open via Excel import wizard and specify UTF-8.
  • Fields missing: ensure the required columns were checked in the Export Wizard and the app has permission to write to the destination folder.
