FAQ

Common questions about YouTube Email Extractor.

What kinds of emails can this tool find?

It extracts addresses from plain text, from=<...> and to=<...> fields, and base64-obfuscated strings embedded in YouTube page HTML or link parameters.

Is this legal to use?

The tool is intended for legitimate security research, privacy auditing, and journalism. You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and platform terms when using extracted data.

Does it store or send my input anywhere?

No. All decoding and extraction happens locally in your browser. Your pasted HTML and results never leave your device.

Why do YouTube pages hide emails with base64?

Base64 obfuscation is often used to deter naive scrapers and reduce spam, but it does not provide real privacy protection — which is exactly why auditors use tools like this.
