Question 1

What phone number formats can this tool detect?

Accepted Answer

The extractor detects North American numbers like (555) 123-4567 and 555-123-4567, international numbers with a + prefix such as +44 20 7946 0958, and raw 7 to 15 digit sequences. You can switch between strict and loose detection modes.

Question 2

Does it remove duplicate phone numbers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. By default duplicates are removed after normalizing each number to its digits, so (555) 123-4567 and 555-123-4567 count as the same number. You can turn dedupe off to keep every occurrence.

Question 3

Is my text uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. All extraction runs entirely in your browser. Your text never leaves your device, which makes this safe for documents that contain private or sensitive contact information.

Question 4

Can I export the extracted phone numbers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After extraction you can copy all numbers to the clipboard, download them as a CSV or TXT file, or copy the highlighted original text showing exactly where each number was found.
