Did you know that one of the most common ways a spammer will get your email address is through your signature on messageboards, and your ‘email me’ link on your website? Direct links to your email address are often scalped by the spammer’s software and sold on.

Well, the email icon generator can create little image icons instead for you - for loads of the common webmail services such as GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo etc.

This means that spammers won’t be able to directly read the text, therefore rendering your email address private.
