You collected tester addresses from chats, spreadsheets and emails. The Play Console wants a clean list. This tool will turn the mess into one. The function itself is added later; this text explains what it does and where it stops.
What the Play Console expects
According to Play Console Help (retrieved 2026-10-23):
- You can enter addresses separated by commas, or upload a CSV file.
- In a CSV file, each address goes on its own line, with no commas. Uploading a CSV replaces the addresses already in the list.
- Files saved as UTF-8 with BOM are not accepted.
- For closed tests: up to 200 lists, each with up to 2,000 users.
Check the current page before relying on these numbers.
Inputs
Paste any text that contains addresses: one per line, comma-separated, copied from a mail client, with names like Anna <anna@example.com>.
What it does
- Finds the addresses and drops everything else.
- Lowercases them and removes duplicates.
- Flags entries that are clearly not addresses.
- Splits the list into chunks if it is longer than the list limit you set.
- Gives you a comma-separated block and a one-address-per-line block to copy, or a plain CSV.
Limits
- It cannot tell whether an address is real or whether the person uses it with a Google account. Testers need a Google account address to opt in.
- It does not upload anything to the Play Console. You paste or upload the result yourself.
- Everything runs in your browser. The addresses never leave the page and nothing is stored.
- Respect your testers: only use addresses people gave you for this test.
Next steps
After the list is in, send the opt-in link and a first message. The day 1 checklist covers that. For the evidence you need later, see the results report template.
