Free LinkedIn Email Finder

There are three ways, and only one of them is reliable.

Ask LinkedIn. If you are a first-degree connection, their email may appear under Contact info on the profile. LinkedIn's default is that a member's primary address is visible only to direct connections (LinkedIn Help, read August 26, 2026), so as a stranger you will almost never see one.

Guess it. Take the name from the profile and the employer's domain, and try the formats companies commonly use, such as first.last@ and flast@. It's slow, and usually only one guess is a real mailbox.

Look it up in contact data. Match the profile against B2B data sources that already hold work emails. The tool above does this with one provider, free for 2 lookups per IP every 30 days. Clu checks 25+ providers and verifies the email before you get it, which is the route you can send to with confidence.

One thing worth knowing before you start: the address you want is their current work email, not whatever address they used to register their LinkedIn account. The work address is the one their employer monitors, and it survives job-unrelated login changes.

Paste the profile URL into the tool above. It looks the person up and, when it finds a match, returns their email, name, company and job title, with the phone number shown masked. Some profiles return nothing, so a miss isn't unusual.

What you do next decides whether this helps or hurts. The free lookup doesn't verify the address, so run it through the email verifier before you send anything. That's an SMTP mailbox check with catch-all detection, free for 2 checks per IP every 30 days. If you need a verified answer or the full phone number, paste the same LinkedIn URL into Clu People Search, which returns the verified address and phone number at one credit per email and 10 per phone.

Every new workspace starts with 14 days of Pro (up to 3 seats, 250 credits).

LinkedIn has no built-in email finder, which is why third-party tools like this one exist. A member's email address sits in their account settings rather than on their public profile, and LinkedIn controls who can see it: the default is that a primary email address is "only visible to your direct connections on LinkedIn", with options ranging from "Only visible to me" up to "Anyone on LinkedIn" (LinkedIn Help, read August 26, 2026).

Most members never change that default, so a profile you are viewing as a stranger almost never shows one. A LinkedIn email finder therefore works in one of two ways: it predicts the address from the person's name and their employer's domain, or it matches the profile against B2B contact data, which is what the tool on this page and Clu both do.

You cannot see the email a stranger used to register their LinkedIn account, and no legitimate tool can return it. That address is an account credential, and LinkedIn's default keeps it visible only to direct connections. If you are already connected, it appears under Contact info on their profile. If you are not, the realistic goal is different: find the person's current work email, which is the address you would send to anyway and the one their employer actually monitors.

That is what this tool looks up from a profile URL, and what Clu resolves across a 25+ provider waterfall. A work email also outlives the account email, since people change LinkedIn logins to personal addresses far more often than they change employers.

Yes, and the tool on this page is one: no account, 2 lookups per IP every 30 days, and it returns an email, name, company and job title from a profile URL, with the phone number masked. It isn't available on VPNs or hosted networks. The free lookup checks one provider and doesn't verify the address, so a result may be out of date and some profiles return nothing.

Run the address through the email verifier before you send, which gives you 2 free SMTP checks per IP every 30 days. To get verified addresses at volume, every new Clu workspace starts with 14 days of Pro (up to 3 seats, 250 credits), at 1 credit per verified email.

Clu ships a Chrome extension that works on LinkedIn and Sales Navigator pages, pulling contacts with verified emails and phone numbers from a profile or a search result without leaving the tab. That is the paid path, drawing on the same 25+ provider waterfall as the rest of Clu, and every new workspace starts with 14 days of Pro (up to 3 seats, 250 credits), with the Free plan keeping 50 credits a month after that.

The free lookup on this page needs no extension at all: it runs in any browser, including mobile, and installs nothing. Which one you want depends on volume. The page is limited to 2 lookups per IP every 30 days, so it suits a quick check. For prospecting sessions where you are opening dozens of profiles, an extension removes the copy-paste step between LinkedIn and a separate tool.

Not from your LinkedIn account settings unless you allow it, and LinkedIn defaults to keeping your primary email visible only to your direct connections (LinkedIn Help, read August 26, 2026). You can tighten that to "Only visible to me" under Settings and Privacy, Visibility, "Who can see or download your email address".

What you cannot hide is your work email, because it is not stored on LinkedIn at all. Your name plus your employer is enough for anyone to predict it, since most companies use a small number of standard conventions such as first.last@ or flast@. B2B contact data can hold it too, which is what tools like this one look up.

If you would rather not receive B2B outreach, the effective lever is an opt-out request to the sender, not a LinkedIn privacy setting.

Enrich the file rather than looking people up one at a time. The free tool on this page is limited to 2 lookups per IP every 30 days, so it is the wrong shape for a list of 500. Import the Sales Navigator CSV into Clu and every row is matched across a 25+ provider waterfall, returning a verified work email, phone number, job title and company for each profile that resolves.

Every new workspace starts with 14 days of Pro (up to 3 seats, 250 credits), then the $0 Free plan keeps 50 credits a month, and paid plans start at $49 per seat a month. Credits are the unit either way: 1 for a verified email, 10 for a phone, 11 for a full contact record with both, and running the search itself costs zero.

Results export to CSV, and HubSpot and Salesforce sync starts on Pro.
