Who is really behind that email address?

Check any address in ten seconds: whether it is real, who runs the mailbox, and whether it is throwaway. Then see the accounts, names, and photos tied to it.

  • Free first check
  • No account needed
  • Nothing is sent to the address

Look up an email address

Free check

No card needed. We never email the address you check.

The address first, the person second

The free check answers whether you are dealing with a real mailbox. A full report goes looking for who uses it.

Free check

  • Whether the domain receives mail
  • Mail provider, like Gmail or Microsoft 365
  • Disposable, free, or custom domain
  • Shared inboxes like info@ or sales@
  • Sender authentication (SPF and DMARC)
  • Whether a public avatar exists

Full report

  • Accounts registered with the address
  • Names and usernames those accounts show
  • Profile photos where they are public
  • Linked phone hints and locations, when exposed
  • Every source checked, found or not

Sample free check

The domain is set up to receive mail. The individual mailbox was not tested.

Mail server
aspmx.l.google.com
Provider
Google Workspace
Shared inbox
No, looks personal
Sender authentication
SPF and DMARC published
4 linked accounts, a name, and a profile photo are waiting in the full report

How it works

You see what the free check returns before you decide to spend anything.

  1. Pasting a sender’s From line into the search box, which pulls out the email address

    Paste the address

    Copy it straight from the message. Display names and “mailto:” links are stripped for you.

  2. A free check showing mail status, mail provider, and risk flags for an address

    Read the free check

    In about ten seconds you see whether it receives mail, which provider runs it, and any risk flags.

  3. Spending one credit to unlock a full report with linked accounts, names, and photos

    Unlock the person, if you need to

    Spend one credit on a full report to see linked accounts, names, and photos from every source we check.

When to check an email first

A few seconds of checking is cheaper than a wire transfer you cannot take back.

Check an email
A deal that feels too easy
A buyer, seller, or landlord who only wants to talk by email.
Someone you met online
Check that the person behind a dating or social contact is who they say.
An invoice or payment request
Spot lookalike domains and throwaway addresses before money moves.
A job offer out of nowhere
Recruiters from free mail providers and brand-new domains deserve a second look.
A “your account is locked” warning
See whether the sender domain actually belongs to the company it names.
A sign-up you want to trust
Filter disposable and shared addresses out of your own customer list.

Pay per report, not per month

Buy a credit pack once and spend a credit whenever you need a full report. Nothing renews.

What does RevealEmail do?

It tells you what is publicly knowable about an email address. The free check covers whether the address can receive mail, who provides the mailbox, and risk flags like disposable or shared inboxes. A full report looks for the accounts, names, and profile photos tied to the address.

Does the person know I checked their email?

No. We never send mail to the address you check and we never notify its owner. The free check reads DNS records and public signals; the full report queries data sources that do not contact the person.

Can you tell me who owns an email address?

Sometimes. When an address is registered on services that expose a name or photo, the full report shows it. Many addresses have a thin footprint, and we never invent a name to fill a gap.

What does “Accepts mail” mean?

The domain has working mail servers, so the address could be real. Without a mailbox test we cannot promise that particular inbox exists. When the mailbox itself is confirmed, the report says “Deliverable” instead.

Is the free check really free?

Yes, with no card and no account. You only pay if you want the full report, using a one-time credit pack. Nothing renews.

Are results always accurate?

No. Results depend on third-party sources that can be incomplete or out of date. Treat a report as context for your own judgment, not as proof of identity.

Do you store the addresses I check?

Briefly. Addresses and results are kept so a report can be reopened from its link and a repeat search does not cost a second credit. Cached results expire automatically.

Check the address before you trust the sender

Free, no account, and the person is never told.
