Why use this phone extractor?
Manually scanning a long document for phone numbers is slow and easy to miss. This tool uses a broad pattern to find numbers in many common styles — from (555) 123-4567 and 555-123-4567 to +1 800 555 0199 and 123.456.7890. You can then deduplicate, sort, and export the list in seconds, all without your data leaving your device.
- Broad format support – parentheses, hyphens, dots, spaces, and international prefixes are all recognized.
- Duplicate removal – keep only distinct numbers.
- Sorting – order alphabetically (A‑Z or Z‑A) or keep the original sequence.
- Instant, private – processing is entirely local; no data is ever uploaded.
How to extract phone numbers (step‑by‑step)
1. Paste your text
Drop any text — an email, a web page snippet, a chat log, or a document — into the left box.
2. Choose options
Toggle "Unique numbers only" and select a sort order. The default keeps the original appearance order.
3. See the list
The extracted phone numbers appear instantly on the right, one per line.
4. Copy or download
Copy the list to your clipboard or save it as a text file, ready for use in any spreadsheet or address book.

Pro tips
- The regex looks for patterns like
+X.XXX.XXX.XXXXand common separators. It won't capture extremely malformed numbers. - Numbers are kept in their original string form to preserve format details. If you need to standardize them, try a text‑replacement tool afterward.
- If a number appears multiple times with different formatting (e.g., 800-555-0199 vs (800) 555-0199), they will be treated as separate entries unless you enable "Unique numbers only" — which deduplicates by exact string.
