Email Address Obfuscator
Hide an email address in your page's code so spam bots can't harvest it, while people still can.
The problem with a plain address on a page
Put a plain email address in your HTML and spam bots that crawl the web scraping for addresses will find it and add it to their lists. Obfuscation encodes or scrambles the address in the source so those simple scrapers cannot read it, while it still displays and works normally for a real visitor. This produces obfuscated code you can drop into your page in place of the plain address.
Enter the address and it generates a protected version for your HTML.
Useful, but not a force field
It is fair to be honest about the limits: obfuscation defeats the many crude scrapers that just pattern-match for an at-sign, which cuts spam meaningfully, but a determined harvester that runs your page's code can still get through. For a contact point you want truly protected, a contact form with no exposed address is stronger. As a low-effort way to reduce the spam a published address attracts, though, obfuscation earns its place.
Frequently asked questions
How does obfuscation stop spam?
It encodes the address in the source so simple scrapers that pattern-match for addresses cannot read it, while it still works for visitors.
Is it completely spam-proof?
No — it stops crude scrapers but not a determined one that runs your page's code. A contact form is stronger for full protection.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The code is generated in your browser.
