Email obfuscation playground

Compare several ways to publish a contact address without making it quite so trivial to scrape. This page generates copyable snippets, shows what humans will see, and calls out the tradeoffs instead of pretending one trick solves spam forever.

Build your snippets

Results update instantly as you type. Use the button only if you want a shareable URL.

Use a role address when you can. Obfuscation only raises the effort for basic scraping; it does not stop determined harvesters or mail leaks from elsewhere.

What makes this useful

  • Visible-text options are readable and work without JavaScript, but humans must retype the address.
  • Entity-encoded HTML keeps the address clickable and defeats only basic text scraping.
  • JavaScript-built links hide the raw address from the initial HTML, but they fail if JavaScript is blocked.
  • A noscript fallback matters if you choose the JavaScript route.
