Website email extractor: find the email addresses on a website

A website email extractor finds the email addresses a site publishes. Enter a website or page and this one reads it plus up to four linked contact, about, team or imprint pages on the same site, only where the site's robots.txt allows, and lists every address from mailto links and the page text with the page it was found on.

Our server reads up to 5 public pages a site and follows robots.txt. 10 websites an hour, or 50 when you sign in.

How do I find the email addresses on a company's website?

  1. Enter a website (acme.com) or a page (acme.com/contact). You can paste up to 10 websites an hour, or 50 when signed in with Google.
  2. Press Find emails. Our server reads robots.txt, then the page and up to four linked contact-style pages on the same site, one at a time.
  3. Read the addresses found, each with the page it came from and whether it's on the site's own domain.
  4. Copy the addresses or download the CSV, then verify the ones you'll write to.

Example

You enter
The website acme.example, whose contact page links hello@acme.example and whose team page says press [at] acme.example.
You get
robots.txt allows both pages, so the home page, /contact and /team are read. Two addresses: hello@acme.example (linked on /contact) and press@acme.example (in the text on /team), both on the site's own domain, each with a Verify link. Copy them or download the CSV.
Limits
Up to 10 websites an hour without an account and 50 when signed in with Google; at most 5 pages a site, only where robots.txt allows.

How does it find email addresses on a website?

It reads the page you enter and looks for addresses in two places: mailto: links and the visible text, including spellings such as name [at] domain [dot] com. Then it follows up to four links on the same site whose address or text points at a contact, about, team, imprint or support page, contact pages first, and reads those the same way. Addresses that are IDs of error-reporting services rather than inboxes (Sentry, for example) are left out.

It reads at most five pages a site, never crawls beyond them, sends no cookies and can't reach anything behind a login. Addresses added to a page by JavaScript after it loads, or shown only as an image, aren't seen.

Does it respect robots.txt?

Yes. Before any page, it reads the site's robots.txt and follows the rules for its own user agent (SimpleVerifier-Email-Extractor), or for all robots if there are none, as RFC 9309 describes. A page the file disallows isn't fetched, and links it disallows are skipped and counted. If robots.txt returns a server error or doesn't answer, the site isn't read at all.

Can I use the addresses I find for cold email?

That depends on where you and they are. Business addresses published for contact are commonly used for B2B outreach, but laws such as CAN-SPAM in the US, PECR and GDPR in the UK and EU, and CASL in Canada set rules on consent, identification and opt-outs. Write to a published address about something relevant to its owner, say who you are and honour opt-outs. And verify the address first: contact pages often list inboxes that closed long ago.

Common questions

How do I extract emails from a website?
Enter the website here. Its page and up to four linked contact, about, team or imprint pages are read where robots.txt allows, and every address in mailto links or the page text is listed with the page it came from.
Why didn't it find an email that's on the site?
The address may be on a page it didn't read (it reads five a site), added by JavaScript after the page loads, shown as an image, or behind a contact form. Enter the exact page with the address to read that one.
Is this website email extractor free?
Yes. It's a free tool with no card: 10 websites an hour without an account and 50 an hour when signed in with Google.
Does it crawl the whole website?
No. At most five pages a site: the one you enter and up to four linked contact-style pages on the same host. It follows robots.txt and never logs in.
Are the emails it finds valid?
They're published on the site, which isn't the same as working. Verify them before you send; old contact pages often list mailboxes that no longer exist.
Can I extract emails from a list of websites?
Yes, a short one: paste up to 10 websites an hour, or 50 when signed in, one per line, and download every address with its website and page as a CSV.
