Break free from Gmail
What’s in your email is your business, not Google’s. With Proton, only you can read your inbox.
All the features you want, privacy included
Big Tech email providers like Gmail make money by searching through your
inbox and using what they find to target you with ads. Proton Mail doesn’t.
We just give you everything you need to manage and organize your inbox.

What our users say
Just exported 20 years of Gmail and imported to Proton Mail - then deleted it all in Gmail.
Quite soon, Google will no longer know who I am.
My favorite email service
I love my ProtonMail
My Choice for a Gmail alternative? @ProtonMail - Been using a paid account for over 2 years and it's great. Good customer service also!
I moved to @ProtonMail 2 years ago and never looked back. The feeling of freedom you get when you know you are not being tracked is uplifting.
I'm a big fan of @ProtonMail! They kept the light on for small tech, independent mail service providers while nobody else seemed to give a damn.
You get what you pay for. In the case of big tech, if you pay nothing, you get used. I quit using Gmail and switched to @ProtonMail
Proton Mail is an easy-to-use webmail service that protects your message archive with zero-access encryption
With a few clicks, I moved more than 15 years of email messages from Gmail to Proton Mail. I was surprised how easy it was.
You can import your existing calendar by using Easy Switch. Once your events arrive in Proton Calendar, they are automatically encrypted to help keep your data, plans and whereabouts private.
Millions trust Proton Mail to keep their communications private
