EML to PDF — Save Any Saved Email as a PDF
Need an email as a PDF for a record, a court filing, an expense report or just to share it readably? Open the .eml or .msg file below, click Export PDF, and save. It uses your browser's own print-to-PDF — 100% in your browser, nothing uploads, no watermarks, no page limits.
Drop .eml or .msg files here — or click to choose
Opens instantly. Your files never leave this device — parsing runs 100% in your browser.
The exact steps
Drop your .eml or .msg file into the viewer above (or click the box to browse). The email opens instantly with its headers and formatted body.
Click the Export PDF button at the top-right of the message. A clean print view opens — headers laid out as a neat block, body formatted for paper, navigation and buttons stripped out.
In the print dialog that appears, set the destination/printer to 'Save as PDF' (Chrome/Edge) or use the PDF menu at the bottom-left (Safari on Mac).
Save. You now have a self-contained PDF of the email — sender, date, subject and body preserved — ready to file, share or archive.
What this tool is — and isn't
Honesty first: this is a print-to-PDF bridge, not a server-side conversion engine. We render the email faithfully in your browser and hand it to your browser's print system, which produces the PDF locally. That design is exactly why it's private (no upload), free (no server costs to recoup) and instant (no queue).
What it does well: single emails, converted on the spot, with formatting, inline images and a professional header block. What it deliberately doesn't claim: batch-converting whole folders in one click, merging many emails into one PDF, or embedding attachments inside the PDF — download attachments separately from the viewer's attachment list before or after exporting.
One practical tip: in the print dialog, enable "Background graphics"if the email's design relies on background colors — browsers turn that off by default to save ink.
FAQ
How do I convert an EML file to PDF for free?
Open the .eml file in the viewer above, click Export PDF, and your browser's print dialog opens with a clean copy of the email. Choose 'Save as PDF' as the printer/destination and save. The whole flow is free and runs on your device.
Does the PDF keep the email's formatting and headers?
Yes. The export view includes a header block (From, To, Cc, Date, Subject) followed by the email body with its HTML formatting and inline images preserved. Links remain readable in print styling.
Can I convert many EML files to PDF at once?
Not in one click — this tool converts one email at a time, honestly stated. You can open many files in a session and export each with two clicks (Export PDF → Save), but if you need true batch conversion of hundreds of files, you'll want a desktop tool or script instead.
Does MSG to PDF work the same way?
Yes. Open the .msg file in the same viewer and click Export PDF — Outlook's format goes through the identical print-to-PDF flow.
Is the email uploaded during conversion?
No. There is no conversion server. The file is parsed in your browser and the PDF is produced by your own browser's print engine — that's why it works offline once the page has loaded.
