How to convert an EML file to PDF
- Drag your
.emlfile into the box above, or click "Choose files" (you can drop several at once). This also covers Outlook messages saved as .eml — for .msg exports, useMSG to PDF instead. - Open "Options" if you want Letter instead of A4, or to hide the attachment list.
- Download each PDF individually, or grab all of them as one .zip.
What the PDF keeps
| Kept | Not yet supported |
|---|---|
| Subject, From, To, Cc, Date (optional) | Right-to-left and complex-script text (use a screenshot or print-to-PDF from your mail client instead) |
| Plain-text and HTML bodies, including basic formatting | Embedded videos or interactive HTML (forms, scripts) — stripped for safety |
| Inline images | Exact pixel-for-pixel layout of very complex HTML emails |
| Attachment file names and sizes (listed, not embedded) | The original attachment files themselves inside the PDF |
Tested with
.eml exports from Microsoft Outlook (desktop and web), Gmail, Apple Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird — plain-text bodies, HTML bodies, inline images and regular attachments.
Check it yourself
Open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and convert a file — you won't see it uploaded anywhere. Or turn off Wi-Fi first; this tool keeps working. Seethe full privacy page for what is and isn't collected.
Known limitations
- Very large attachments (multi-gigabyte files) can be slow, since everything runs on your device.
- Non-Latin scripts render using a bundled Latin font; for Arabic, Hindi or Japanese content, use your browser's own "Print to PDF" on the EML Viewer page instead for correct shaping.
- Encrypted (S/MIME) messages show headers but can't display an encrypted body.
FAQ
Does this work with attachments inside the email?
Attachment names and sizes are listed in the PDF; the files themselves aren't embedded. Download the original .eml if you need the actual attachment files — an EML file is a plain-text container that already includes them.
Can I convert more than one file at a time?
Yes — drop as many .eml files as you like; each gets its own PDF, and you can download them all as one .zip.
Does this work for Outlook emails saved as PDF?
Yes. Outlook's "Save As" produces a .eml (or .msg) file, not a PDF directly — drop that exported file here to turn it into a real, selectable-text PDF.
