Email Validator

Check whether an email address is correctly formatted: valid syntax, length limits, domain labels, disposable and role flags, and typo suggestions. Validate one address or a whole list. Everything runs in your browser — your data is never sent anywhere and nothing is stored.

Format only. This tool checks that an address is written correctly. It does not verify that the mailbox exists or can receive mail — that needs a server (DNS/MX and SMTP checks).

How to use the email validator

  1. Choose Single to check one address or Bulk to check a whole list.
  2. In Single mode, type an address and read the PASS/FAIL verdict with the reasons; accept a typo suggestion if one is offered.
  3. In Bulk mode, paste one address per line, validate, review the table and counts, then copy valid only.

A valid address has the shape local-part@domain: the local part is up to 64 characters, the whole address up to 254, the domain is made of dot-separated labels (letters, digits and hyphens) ending in a top-level domain such as .com, and there are no leading, trailing or consecutive dots on either side of the @.

Frequently asked questions

What does this email validator check?

It checks the format (syntax) of an email address: that it has one @, a valid local part and domain, correct length limits, no leading, trailing or consecutive dots, properly formed domain labels and a real-looking top-level domain. It also flags disposable and role addresses and suggests fixes for common typos.

Does it confirm the mailbox actually exists?

No. This tool validates format only. Confirming that a mailbox exists and can receive mail requires a server to perform DNS/MX and SMTP checks, which cannot be done safely from a browser. A correctly formatted address can still be undeliverable.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. All validation runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server and nothing is stored. You can paste a long list of addresses without them leaving your device.

What is a disposable or role email?

A disposable address uses a throwaway domain such as mailinator.com or a temp-mail service and is often abandoned minutes later. A role address such as admin@, info@ or support@ points to a function rather than a person. Both are valid formats but are frequently filtered for sign-ups and marketing.

Why does it suggest a different domain?

When the domain looks like a misspelling of a popular provider — for example gmial.com, hotnail.com or yaho.com — the tool compares it to a small list of common domains using edit distance and suggests the likely intended one. The suggestion is a hint; the original is not changed.

How many emails can the bulk mode handle?

Paste one address per line. Because everything runs locally, it comfortably handles hundreds to a few thousand lines; very large lists simply take a moment longer. Each line is marked valid or invalid with the reason, and you can copy only the valid ones.
