According to this report (March, 2003), one of the fastest ways to get your email address included in bulk email lists is to post it on your public website. But what if you really need to post your email address, so that people can contact you for legitimate purposes?
The solution is to use a human-readable format that is opaque to the "robots" that scour the internet, harvesting addresses. An image is one such format.* The form below will create a PNG image file from your email address that can be safely placed on your website. The form will not save your email address anywhere on our system.
Warning: do not make the image into a "mailto:" link or use your email as an alt tag, as that will defeat the whole purpose of using the image to obscure your address.
