Is this email extractor tool really free to use?

Yes, absolutely. Our tool is 100% free to use with no hidden limits or fees. You can process as much text or as many files as you want, as often as you want.

What file types can I upload?

Currently, our tool supports plain text files ( .txt ) and comma-separated value files ( .csv ). For the best results, ensure your file is in one of these formats.

Is my data safe and private?

Yes. We take your privacy very seriously. The extraction process is automated and your data is not stored on our servers. The results are kept only in your current browser session and are discarded when you leave the site.

Can this tool validate if the emails are real?

Our tool validates emails based on their format (e.g., `name@domain.com`). It ensures you get a list of syntactically correct email addresses. However, it does not check if a mailbox actually exists or is active. This process, known as verification, is much more complex and is a feature we may consider for the future.
