Email to PDF - Free Online Browser Tool

Convert EML email messages into PDF documents with their headers included.

An EML message is plain text with a header block, which is why it converts cleanly and why the headers can be laid out exactly as they arrived. Outlook’s MSG container is a different animal and is named as such.

This email to pdf utility runs completely inside your web browser. Your document is opened locally and processed on your own device using JavaScript and WebAssembly, so your file is never uploaded to any server. There is no signup, no watermark and no limit on how many documents you can handle.

  • 100% client-side - files never leave your device
  • Instant processing, no upload wait
  • Works on desktop, tablet and mobile
  • Free forever, no account required

How to Use the Email to PDF Tool

Four steps, and the whole thing runs locally on your own device.

  1. Choose the message

    Add an .eml file. An Outlook .msg file is detected and reported, since its container needs a reader browsers do not have.

  2. Decide the header detail

    Take the full set of headers, or keep only the sender, recipient, date and subject.

  3. Unfold and decode

    Wrapped headers are joined back together and any base64 or quoted-printable body is decoded before typesetting.

  4. Save the record

    The message is written as a PDF with the header block above the body, ready for filing or forwarding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are file attachments saved into the PDF?

No. Attachment parts are skipped, so the PDF records the message and its text rather than the documents that travelled with it.

Which headers appear in the finished file?

Sender, recipient, carbon copy, reply-to, date and subject are laid out in a fixed order, with the full set chosen in the options above.

How is an HTML message handled?

The markup is stripped and its block structure kept, so paragraphs, list items and table cells keep their shape as plain text.

Can I convert a whole mailbox of messages?

One message at a time is the supported path, since each file is read as a separate document with its own header block.

What do I do with an Outlook MSG file?

Export it from Outlook, or forward it to yourself and save the result as EML, then bring that file back to this converter.
