The Email Privacy Tool is a free online utility that encodes your email address to protect it from being harvested by spam bots and email scrapers. When you display your email address in plain text on a webpage, automated crawlers can collect it and add it to spam lists — leading to hundreds of unwanted emails per week.

This tool converts your email address into an encoded or obfuscated version that displays correctly to human visitors but is unreadable to most automated scraping bots.

How to Protect Your Email

• Enter your email address in the input field
• Click Encode / Protect
• Copy the encoded version
• Replace your plain-text email in your website HTML with the encoded version

Protection Methods Used

• HTML entity encoding — replaces characters with HTML entities (e.g. @ becomes @)
• JavaScript obfuscation — email is assembled via JS at page load time
• ROT13 encoding — simple cipher that confuses basic scrapers

Additional Anti-Spam Tips

• Use a contact form instead of displaying your email directly
• Display email as an image (not accessible to most bots)
• Use "name [at] domain [dot] com" format for informal listings

No encoding method is 100% bot-proof, but combining techniques significantly reduces spam. Free, no login required.
