Extract emails from a CSV or spreadsheet
Paste a CSV — or copy cells straight from Excel or Google Sheets — and pull out the email addresses. The tool detects your columns, auto-finds the email column, and lets you extract from just that one. Runs entirely in your browser. No sign-up.
Built for spreadsheets, not just plain text
A generic extractor treats everything as one blob of text. This tool understands structure: it detects whether your data is separated by commas, tabs, semicolons or pipes, parses it into rows and columns (respecting quoted fields like "Okafor, J."), and reports which columns actually contain emails. That means you can pull addresses from just the Email column and ignore names, companies and notes.
How to extract emails from a CSV
- Copy your rows from the CSV, Excel or Google Sheets.
- Paste them into the box on the left.
- Pick the email column (or leave it on all columns).
- Remove duplicates, then copy or download the list.
No file upload, no add-on to install, and nothing leaves your device — so it's safe for customer and lead lists.
After extracting
Once you have the addresses, you can validate them to catch typos, or run the whole list through the email list cleaner to drop invalid and role accounts before you import. Working from unstructured text instead of a spreadsheet? Use the email extractor.
Frequently asked questions
How do I extract emails from a CSV file?
Open your CSV (or spreadsheet), copy the rows, and paste them into the box on the left. The tool detects the delimiter and columns automatically, finds the column that holds email addresses, and lists every address on the right. You can then pick a specific column, remove duplicates, and copy or download the result.
Can I pull emails from just one column?
Yes — that's the point of this tool. After you paste, use the Column dropdown to choose exactly which column to extract from (each option shows how many emails it contains), or keep it on 'All columns'. The email column is auto-selected for you when detected.
Does it work with Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. You don't need to export a .csv file — just select a range of cells in Excel or Google Sheets, copy, and paste. Pasted spreadsheet cells are tab-separated, which the tool detects automatically alongside comma-, semicolon- and pipe-separated data.
Does it handle quoted fields and commas inside cells?
Yes. The parser follows CSV quoting rules, so a field like "Okafor, J." is treated as one cell rather than being split at the comma. That keeps column detection and extraction accurate.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything is parsed and extracted locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your data is never uploaded, stored, or logged — nothing leaves your device, so it's safe for sensitive contact lists.
Can I export the extracted emails?
Yes. Copy the list to your clipboard, or download it as a .txt or single-column .csv file, de-duplicated and optionally sorted.
