Extraction Overview — How to collect emails

Search engines • Websites • Mailboxes • Files • WHOIS


Extract Email Addresses from a Website

If you already know the target site, enter its URL and click Start Search. Configure Scan depth to control how many link levels are followed (Level 1 = homepage only).

Extract Emails from Website

Use deeper scan levels for thorough site coverage; use Level 1 for quick checks.


Extract from POP and IMAP email accounts

Connect your mailboxes (Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, others) using POP or IMAP and extract addresses directly from messages. Enable POP/IMAP in the provider settings before connecting.

Provider setup guides: Gmail, Yahoo.

Extract Emails from Email Accounts

Scan multiple accounts and choose specific folders (Inbox / Sent / Archive) to speed up the job.


Extract from a list of URLs

Paste a list of target URLs (one per line) or load them from a text file. Set Scan depth = 1 to extract only from the supplied pages, then click Start Search.

Extract from URL list

Ideal when you have curated targets or results from other tools.


Extract from WHOIS (domain owners)

WHOIS mode retrieves public registrar data for domains — registrant, admin, tech and billing contacts, emails, phone numbers, registrar and nameserver information.

Extract from WHOIS Global Database

Paste single domains or load bulk lists. Be aware that WHOIS output varies by TLD and privacy/redaction rules (GDPR, privacy services).


Extract from files, folders or Clipboard

Scan local files and folders (TXT, CSV, DOCX, XLSX, HTML, PDFs) to pull valid email addresses. Enter a path, choose file types, and run the search — duplicates are removed automatically.

Extract emails from files and folders

For huge files, use the Split Big Files feature to divide inputs into manageable parts before extraction.


Save extracted emails (Export Wizard)

Click Save Emails on the toolbar to open the Export Wizard. Choose columns to export (Email, Source URL, Title, Phone), then click Next to open the Save dialog.

Export Wizard in Email Extractor

Choose format: .txt, .lst, .csv (for Excel import), or .xlsx where supported. After export, use View results to open the file immediately.

Save File Dialog Export Complete

Tip: export as .csv for easy Excel import; use UTF-8 encoding if non-Latin characters are present.
