Email Validator — Check If an Email Address Is Formatted Correctly

Our Email Validator checks a list of email addresses — one per line — against the standard address format and tells you exactly why each invalid one failed: a missing @ symbol, a malformed domain, an invalid top-level domain, and more. It also flags likely typos in popular providers, like 'gmial.com' instead of 'gmail.com'. This is a format check only — it confirms an address is correctly shaped, not that it currently exists or can receive mail. Copy just the valid addresses, or download the full results as a CSV. Nothing is uploaded — everything runs instantly in your browser.

Quick Answer

An Email Validator checks a list of email addresses — one per line — against the standard format and reports which are validly formatted, with a specific reason for every failure and typo suggestions for common domains. It's a format check only, not a mailbox-existence check. Copy the valid list or download a CSV of full results. Free, and everything runs instantly in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Why Use Email Validator — Check If Email Addresses Are Valid?

A list of email addresses collected from a signup form, a spreadsheet import, a scraped webpage, or years of accumulated contacts almost always has a few broken entries mixed in — a missing @, a stray space, a mistyped domain, or a truncated address from a copy-paste error. Sending to a malformed address wastes a send, can trigger bounce penalties that hurt your sender reputation with mailbox providers, and — if you're paying per-send through an email service — costs money for nothing. This tool checks each address against the actual rules for what a valid email address can look like: a properly formed local part before the @, a properly formed domain after it, and a real-looking top-level domain at the end. Rather than a single pass/fail, every failure comes with a specific reason so you know exactly what to fix rather than guessing. It also catches one of the most common real-world mistakes that passes basic format validation but is still wrong: a typo in a well-known provider's domain, like 'gmial.com', 'yaho.com', or 'hotmial.com' — these are checked against a short list of popular providers using an edit-distance comparison, so a near-miss gets flagged with a suggested correction. What this tool does not do is confirm an address is currently active or can receive mail right now — that requires an actual mail-server (MX record) lookup and, ultimately, sending a real message, neither of which a format checker can determine. Think of it as the fast first pass that catches the majority of bad entries before they ever reach a send.
