Gmail Alias Generator
This Gmail alias generator lists every dot version of a Gmail address and builds +tag aliases like janedoe+shopping@gmail.com. Gmail ignores dots and anything after a plus sign, so all of them reach the same inbox. You can also check whether two addresses are really the same account. It runs in your browser.

How Gmail reads an address
Dots don't matter
Google: "Dots don't matter in Gmail addresses." jane.doe@gmail.com and janedoe@gmail.com are the same inbox.
Google help pageA +tag still arrives
Add a plus sign and a word before the @, like janedoe+school@gmail.com, and it goes to janedoe@gmail.com.
Google help pagegooglemail.com is gmail.com
Google: "Messages sent to @gmail.com and @googlemail.com are the same."
Google help pageWork and school Gmail is different
On a company or school domain, dots do change the address. +tags still work there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do dots in a Gmail address matter?
No. Google's help page says dots don't matter in Gmail addresses, so jane.doe@gmail.com and janedoe@gmail.com reach the same inbox. That's only true for @gmail.com; on a work or school domain, dots do change the address.
What is a Gmail plus address?
Your username, a plus sign and any word, like janedoe+shopping@gmail.com. Mail to it arrives in your normal inbox, and Google suggests using these to sort and filter your mail.
What can I use +tag aliases for?
Sign up to newsletters, shops and services with a different tag each, then filter them into labels. If spam starts arriving at a tag, you know which site shared your address.
Are gmail.com and googlemail.com the same?
Yes. Google says messages sent to @gmail.com and @googlemail.com go to the same place. Some countries used googlemail.com.
Do +tags work on Outlook too?
Yes. Outlook.com supports adding +something to your address, but Microsoft notes you can't sign in or send email with the +tag version.
Is my address stored?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to our servers or stored.
