Redact Emails
Replace every email address in a block of text with a redaction marker. Browser-only.
About Redact Emails
This tool finds every email address in your input and replaces it with a configurable redaction marker (e.g. [EMAIL] or ***). It's a quick way to scrub email addresses out of screenshots, bug reports, log slices, and other content you want to share publicly.
When to use it
- Sanitizing log output before pasting into a public bug tracker
- Removing email addresses from screenshots or documentation
- Producing GDPR-safe data dumps for testing or sharing
- Preparing content for redacted public posts
How it works
A regex matches strings in the form local@domain.tld and replaces each with the configured marker. Surrounding text is preserved exactly.
Examples
Contact alice@example.com or bob@test.org for support.

Frequently asked questions
- Can the marker be customized?
- Yes. The default is [EMAIL] but any string works — try ***, [REDACTED], or any other placeholder.
- Does it catch every form of email?
- The regex catches the vast majority of real-world emails. Unusual forms (quoted local parts, IP-literal domains) may be missed — review your output before publishing.
