0 / 30,000 characters. No upload, storage, or account required.
Mailto link extraction workflows
Use this extractor when contact-page HTML, templates, or CMS exports need a quick browser-local email-link inventory before cleanup or migration.
Audit contact markup
Pair this with Extract HTML Links, Extract Telephone Links, and HTML Formatter for broader contact block review.
Clean copied lists
Send copied output to Remove Duplicate Lines, Sort Lines, or Extract Domains.
Review migrated pages
Use Extract Form Actions, Extract Button Text, and Extract Link Relations when pasted source includes forms and head links.
What this tool does
Extract Mailto Links finds mailto href values in pasted HTML anchor tags, strips subject/body query strings, removes duplicates, shows source lines, and runs locally in your browser.
Common use cases
Extract email addresses from mailto links in pasted contact-page HTML, footer snippets, CMS output, templates, or copied source before QA, migration, documentation, or list cleanup.
Use Extract Mailto Links when you are working with copied API payloads, logs, encoded values, config snippets, identifiers, or debugging data and need a quick browser-local check before pasting the result into docs, tickets, tests, or another developer tool.
How to use it
- Paste snippets, contact blocks, templates, CMS output, or copied source that contains mailto links.
- Choose whether duplicate email rows should be removed and whether output should be normalized to lowercase.
- Review extracted email addresses with source lines, then copy the clean list for QA, migration, contact-page cleanup, or documentation handoffs.
Example workflow
Copy a small payload or encoded value from an API response, request URL, log line, or config file. Run the focused check here, confirm the output is readable, then continue with related developer data tools such as validation, formatting, decoding, timestamp conversion, or CSV/JSON conversion.
Privacy note
Mailto link extraction runs locally in your browser. Your pasted HTML is not uploaded, rendered, fetched, crawled, loaded, executed, or stored.
FAQ
Does Extract Mailto Links send emails?
No. It reads pasted HTML text only and extracts mailto href values. It does not send email, render, execute, fetch, crawl, upload, store, or log snippets.
What happens to mailto subject or body parameters?
The extractor strips query strings such as subject and body so the copied output is a clean email-address list.
When is this useful?
Use it while auditing contact pages, migrating templates, checking footers, deduping email-link inventories, or documenting contact markup.
