About This Tool

Comprehensive Format Support

We support both standard MIME-based EML files (used by Gmail, Thunderbird, and Apple Mail) and the proprietary OLE2-based MSG format used by Microsoft Outlook. Our engine reconstructs the original email structure, including multipart alternative bodies and attachment lists.

By generating a PDF, you create a static, tamper-proof record of your communications that can be easily archived, shared, or printed without needing a specialized email client.

Why Use This Tool

Maximum Privacy & Security

Most online converters require you to upload your sensitive emails to their servers. This tool is different. By utilizing powerful JavaScript parsers like postal-mime and msg-parser, all analysis and PDF generation happen **100% locally in your browser**. Your private messages, financial statements, and personal data never leave your machine.
