The last one is off by default: most hosts do use +, but assuming it for an unknown domain can merge two real mailboxes.

Quick Tool Overview

The Email Normalizer reduces every address to one canonical form — lowercased, Gmail dots removed, tags stripped, punycode applied — with each rule on its own switch so it matches what your system does.

About the Email Normalizer

Canonicalising an address is what lets you compare two of them reliably: it is how you tell that someone signing up with a fresh plus-tag is the same account you banned last week, and how a suppression list actually suppresses.

Paste a list and each address is reduced to a single canonical form — lowercased, Gmail dots removed, provider sub-address tags stripped, googlemail folded into gmail, internationalised domains encoded to punycode. Each rule is a switch, so you can match whatever your own system does rather than whatever this tool prefers.

The original and normalised forms are shown side by side, and only the rows that changed are highlighted, so a list that needed no work says so instead of looking like it did something.

Frequently asked questions

The single form that every variant of an address reduces to — case folded, tags stripped, provider quirks applied. Two addresses with the same canonical form reach the same mailbox, which is what makes comparison reliable.
