Convert MSG to PDF — no Outlook required

.msg is Outlook's binary email format — normally you need Outlook installed just to read one. Not here: drop your files in and they are parsed entirely in your browser. Read them, download attachments, and convert to PDF. Your files never leave your device.

Drag & drop your .msg files here

one or many at once — Outlook binary .msg files

Your files never leave your device — everything is parsed locally in your browser.

What you get

1

Real .msg parsing

The binary OLE2 container is decoded by a dedicated open-source parser loaded on demand — sender, recipients, dates, plain/HTML bodies and attachments all come through.

2

One section per email

Each PDF export starts every message on a new page with a labeled header block (From, To, Cc, Date, Subject), the readable body, and the list of attachment names and sizes.

3

Private by design

The PDF is generated on your machine with jsPDF. Nothing — not the file, not the emails, not the PDF — is sent anywhere. Safe for privileged or confidential correspondence.

Simple pricing

Reading and single-email PDF export are free. A one-time $9.99 unlocks merged export forever.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between .msg and .eml?

Both hold a single email. .eml is the open RFC 5322 text format used by most mail software; .msg is Microsoft's binary Outlook format (an OLE2 compound file) that normally requires Outlook to open. This page handles .msg; for .eml files use the EML to PDF converter.

How do I get .msg files out of Outlook?

Drag an email from the Outlook message list onto your desktop or into a folder — that creates a .msg file. Then drop it here. On Outlook for Mac, drag out gives you .eml instead, which works on the main converter page.

Is it really private? These are work emails.

Yes. The .msg parser is JavaScript running inside your browser tab and the PDF is generated there too — no server ever sees the file, the emails, or the PDF. Open your browser's Network tab while you work and watch: no content is transmitted. See the privacy policy.

Are attachments included in the PDF?

Their names and sizes are listed under each message, but the attachment binaries are not embedded. You can download any attachment individually from the message view (free) and hand it over alongside the PDF.

It says "MSG support failed to load" — why?

The .msg parser is a separate open-source module loaded from a CDN the first time you drop a file. If your connection or an aggressive content blocker stops that download, the page shows that message — check your connection (or the blocker) and reload. Everything else about the page works offline after the first load.

What exactly does the $9.99 license cover?

Unlimited merged PDF exports, forever, for one user — any number of emails per merge, on every page of this site (the same key also unlocks merged export on the EML pages). It's a one-time payment, not a subscription.
