Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 🤔
Have questions? We've got answers. Here are some of the most common questions our users ask about the TotalExtractor tool.
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.
How does the 'Sort by Domain' feature work?
After extracting all unique emails, our algorithm automatically groups them based on their domain (the part after the "@" symbol). This makes it easy to see how many contacts you have from specific companies or providers like Gmail or Outlook.
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.
Is there a limit to how much text I can paste?
While there's a generous limit to prevent abuse, it's large enough for almost all practical purposes. You can paste thousands of lines of text without any issue.
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.
