How to Extract Emails and URLs From a Block of Text
Pull every email address and URL out of a document, transcript, or forwarded thread automatically, with duplicates removed — instead of scanning by eye.
By QR Ivify Team
A forwarded email thread with a dozen people cc'd, a document that mentions a handful of reference links, a transcript full of contact details mentioned in passing — pulling every email address or URL out of a wall of text by scanning it manually is slow and easy to miss one. Pattern matching does this instantly and reliably.
Step by Step
- Open Extract Emails & URLs.
- Paste text containing emails, URLs, or both.
- Matching emails and URLs are pulled into two separate lists as you type, with duplicates removed automatically.
- Copy or download each list separately.
What Counts as a Match
Emails are matched by the standard local-part@domain.tld shape. URLs are matched only when they start with an explicit http:// or https:// — a bare domain typed without the protocol, like "example.com" mentioned in passing text, is deliberately not matched, because there's no reliable way to distinguish "example.com" the link from "example.com" used as a plain descriptive phrase without a much more aggressive (and much more false-positive-prone) pattern. Requiring the protocol keeps matches precise rather than guessy.
Duplicates Are Removed Automatically
If the same email or URL appears multiple times across the text — common in email threads where a signature repeats, or a document that references the same link several times — each unique one appears only once in the result, in the order it was first seen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this catch URLs without "http://"?
No — only explicit http:// or https:// links are matched, since a bare domain is too easy to confuse with ordinary text.
Are duplicate emails or URLs removed? Yes — each unique email or URL appears only once in the result, even if it occurs multiple times in your text.
Can I download the results separately? Yes — emails and URLs each have their own Copy and Download buttons.
Does this upload my text anywhere? No. Extraction happens entirely in your browser.
