What Is Gmail Alias?

Create unlimited email variations without creating new accounts

Gmail aliases are variations of your email address that all deliver to your main inbox. Instead of creating multiple Gmail accounts for different purposes, you can use your single email address with modifications that Gmail recognizes as the same account.

There are two main types of Gmail aliases: plus addressing (adding +tag after your username) and the dot trick (adding dots anywhere in your username). Both methods work with all Gmail accounts and Google Workspace custom domains.

These aliases are perfect for organizing subscriptions, identifying spam sources, creating Gmail filters, protecting your primary email from exposure, and maintaining inbox zero by automatically categorizing incoming mail.

The Gmail Plus Trick Explained

Gmail plus addressing for unlimited organized aliases

The Gmail plus trick (also called Gmail plus addressing or subaddressing) works by adding a plus sign (+) and any text before @gmail.com. Gmail delivers all these variations to your main inbox while preserving the alias in the "To" field.

Examples:

yourname+newsletter@gmail.comFor subscriptions
yourname+shopping@gmail.comFor online stores
yourname+trial@gmail.comFor free trials

The tag after the plus sign can be anything you want - make it descriptive to remember where you used it. Create Gmail filters using to:(yourname+tag@gmail.com) to automatically label, archive, or organize these emails.

The Gmail Dot Trick

Unlimited variations using dot placement

This means you can generate multiple Gmail addresses that all deliver to the same inbox.

All these deliver to the same inbox:

johndoe@gmail.comjohn.doe@gmail.comj.ohndoe@gmail.comjo.hn.do.e@gmail.com

This is especially useful when websites block the plus sign in email addresses. Use different dot variations for different services to track which ones leak your email address to spammers or sell your data.

Why Use Gmail Aliases?

A Gmail alias is a variation of your Gmail address created using plus addressing or dot variations.

Track Spam Sources

Use a unique alias for each website. If you receive spam to a specific alias, you'll know exactly which service leaked or sold your email address. Block that alias without affecting your main email.

Auto-Organize Inbox

Create Gmail filters for each alias to automatically apply labels, archive messages, mark as read, or forward to specific folders. Maintain inbox zero effortlessly with smart organization.

Protect Primary Email

Never expose your real email address. Use aliases for free trials, sketchy websites, or temporary signups. If an alias becomes compromised, simply filter it to trash.

Separate Categories

Use distinct aliases for newsletters, shopping, social media, work, finance, and personal communications. Each category can have its own filter, label, and priority level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Gmail aliases, plus trick, and dot variations

The Gmail plus trick (also called plus addressing) lets you add a plus sign (+) and any text before @gmail.com to create unlimited email aliases. For example, if your email is john@gmail.com, you can use john+newsletter@gmail.com, john+shopping@gmail.com, etc. All emails still arrive in your main inbox, but you can filter them automatically.

The Gmail dot trick works because Gmail ignores periods in email addresses. If your email is johndoe@gmail.com, you can also receive emails at j.ohndoe@gmail.com, john.doe@gmail.com, or jo.hn.do.e@gmail.com. All variations deliver to the same inbox, making it useful for tracking which services leak your email address.

Gmail aliases are created automatically - you don't need to set them up. Just add "+anything" before @gmail.com when signing up for services. For example, use yourname+facebook@gmail.com for Facebook. You can then create Gmail filters using "to:(yourname+facebook@gmail.com)" to automatically organize these emails.

Gmail aliases help you: (1) Identify spam sources - see which service sold your email, (2) Organize inbox automatically with filters, (3) Protect your primary email from exposure, (4) Track newsletter subscriptions, (5) Separate work, personal, and shopping emails, (6) Sign up for free trials without a new email account.

Yes! Both the plus trick and dot trick work with Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) custom domain emails. You can use alias+tag@yourdomain.com and add dots anywhere in the username portion. The same filtering and organization benefits apply.

Some websites block the plus sign in email addresses or strip everything after the + to prevent alias usage. However, the dot trick is much harder to detect and filter. Using different dot placements makes it nearly impossible for websites to connect your variations to the same account.

In Gmail, go to Settings → Filters and Blocked Addresses → Create new filter. In "Has the words" field, enter to:(yourname+tag@gmail.com). Then choose actions like applying a label, archiving, or marking as read. This automatically organizes all emails sent to that specific alias.

Yes! Our Gmail alias generator is completely free with unlimited use. No registration required. Generate as many smart aliases and dot variations as you need to organize your inbox and protect your email privacy.
