Gmail Temporary Email: Create a Free Gmail Alias in Seconds
A Gmail temporary email — also called a Gmail alias or disposable Gmail — gives you a short-lived address so newsletters, promotions and one-time forms never reach your real inbox. Instead of handing your primary address to every website, you generate a throwaway alias, use it briefly, and let it expire.
How a Gmail alias works
Gmail supports plus addressing: mail sent to name+anything@gmail.com still arrives at name@gmail.com. BongoDesk generates these aliases on Gmail accounts we own and manage, so messages arrive instantly with Gmail-grade deliverability — and you read them right on our site.
How to create one (free)
- Open the free Gmail alias generator.
- Click Create Alias and copy your new address.
- Share it wherever you would rather not give your real email.
- Watch the inbox auto-refresh as messages arrive.
When you should NOT use a temporary alias
Disposable aliases are great for newsletters, downloads and short-lived projects. Do not use them for banking, financial, government, or any account you need long term. For those, use your real, secured email.
Free vs extended
Free aliases last 10 minutes — perfect for a quick task. Need longer? Sign up and extend to 24 hours, 72 hours, 7 days, 2 weeks or 30 days, and unlock a private inbox.
FAQ
Do you create Gmail accounts? No. We never create or sell accounts. Aliases come only from Gmail accounts our admin owns and manages.
How fast do emails arrive? Usually within seconds. The inbox refreshes automatically so new mail appears without reloading.
