Extract Emails From Word
To extract emails from a Word document, drop the file here. The tool reads the body, tables, headers, footers, footnotes and comments, finds addresses that sit behind hyperlinks, and rejoins addresses that Word splits into pieces when part of one is formatted. It handles .docx, older .doc files, .rtf and LibreOffice .odt. Documents are read in your browser and never uploaded.
Drop in Word documents. Get every email address inside them.

- 2

What gets read in a Word file
- More than the body text
- Addresses in tables, headers, footers, footnotes and comments are found, not only those in the main text.
- Addresses behind links
- Text like "Email the team" that opens an email is read from the link itself, so the address is found even when it isn't shown.
- Formatting doesn't break addresses
- When part of an address is bold, coloured or edited later, Word stores it in pieces. The extractor puts the pieces back together.
- Batches of CVs
- Put a folder of CVs or cover letters in a ZIP and drop it in to get every candidate's address in one list, with the file each came from.
Extract emails from other files
The same extractor reads every format, and the Email Extractor takes any mix of files at once. Each of these pages is set up for one file type:
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it find emails in headers, footers and tables?
Yes. Tables, headers, footers, footnotes and comments are all read along with the main text.
What about links like "Contact us"?
They're found. A link that opens an email stores the address in the link, and the extractor reads it even when the address isn't visible.
Does it work with old .doc files?
Yes. It reads files from older versions of Word as well as .docx, .rtf and LibreOffice .odt documents.
Can I extract emails from many CVs at once?
Yes. Drop up to 20 documents together, or put a whole folder in a ZIP. Each address shows which document it came from.
Does it work with Google Docs?
Yes. Choose File, then Download, then Microsoft Word (.docx), and drop the file here.
Are my documents uploaded anywhere?
No. Documents are read entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to our servers or stored.
