​
Set up your first account

1

Open Gmail Alias Toolkit

Select the extension icon from the browser toolbar. Pin it from the extensions menu if you use it frequently.
2

Enter your Gmail address

Add the base address that should receive the aliases. You can also add an optional label such as Personal, Work, or Testing.
3

Complete setup

Select Get Started. The account becomes the active Gmail address used by the alias generators.
You can add more accounts later from Settings → Accounts. History, favorites, and statistics are kept separate for each account.

​
Generate random aliases

Open the Random tab, choose how many aliases to create, and select a format: The generated tag is appended to the active address, for example:
Use Copy for one alias or Copy All for the complete generated list. Generated aliases can be saved automatically according to the configured history limit.

​
Create aliases from custom tags

Use Custom Tags when you want readable, reusable aliases.
1

Enter a tag

Enter a value such as shopping, newsletter, work, or project-alpha.
2

Generate and copy

Select Generate, then copy the resulting address.
3

Save frequent tags as presets

Add a label and tag in Settings → Custom Presets. Saved presets appear directly in the popup and context menu.

​
Use Gmail tricks

The Gmail Tricks tab can generate several Gmail-compatible variations:
  • Dot Trick — adds dots at different positions in the local part.
  • Plus Tags — appends a +tag value.
  • Googlemail — switches between gmail.com and googlemail.com.
  • Remove Dots — removes all dots from the local part.
  • Dot + Plus — combines a dot variation with a plus tag.
  • All Combos — generates combinations of the supported tricks.
You can choose the number of variations and use sequential or randomized dot positions.
Dot handling is a Gmail behavior, not a universal email standard. Do not assume the same result for Google Workspace or non-Gmail domains.

​
Generate aliases inside websites

When supported, Gmail Alias Toolkit can show an inline icon next to email fields. Select it to open a quick alias generator without leaving the current website. You can also right-click a page and use the Gmail Alias Toolkit context menu to create:
  • A random alias.
  • An alias from a saved preset.
  • A dot variation.
  • A googlemail.com variation.
  • A version with all dots removed.
To hide the inline helper on a specific website, choose Turn off the inline helper on this website. Re-enable it later from Settings → Disabled inline helper sites.

​
Manage aliases

The Recent Aliases area supports:
  • Search by address or tag.
  • Filter by tag or favorites.
  • Sort by newest or alphabetically.
  • Pagination for large histories.
  • Multi-select deletion and export.
  • CSV and JSON export.
  • QR code generation for quick transfer to another device.
  • Favorites for frequently reused aliases.
Open Statistics to review total generated aliases, aliases created today, this week, and this month, top tags, and activity over time.

​
Configure the extension

From Settings, you can manage:
  • Light, dark, or system theme.
  • Toolbar badge counter mode.
  • Copy notifications.
  • Default random alias format.
  • Automatic history limit.
  • Custom presets.
  • Accounts and active account.
  • Settings import/export and reset.
  • Disabled inline-helper websites.
Deleting an account also deletes its isolated history, favorites, and statistics. Export important data before removing an account.
