About Contact Extractor
Contact Extractor pulls names, email addresses, phone numbers and websites out of whatever you give it — pasted text, a CSV or Excel sheet, a PDF, a Word or PowerPoint file, or a photo of a page. Duplicates are merged, and you can copy the results or export them as CSV, Excel or PDF.
Reading PDFs, spreadsheets and images needs extra libraries, which are downloaded the first time you open one of those files, along with text-recognition data for images. Your files themselves are processed in your browser and are not uploaded.
