EML to PDF

Open an .eml file and save it as PDF. Without uploading it anywhere.

Drop in a saved email and read it exactly as it was sent — headers, formatting, and attachments intact. Everything happens inside this browser tab; the file never leaves your device.

Nothing is uploaded — parsing happens on your device

Remote images are blocked. Many marketing emails use them as tracking pixels that report back when the message is opened.

    What this does

    An .eml file is a plain-text container holding one email exactly as it travelled — headers, body, and any attachments encoded inside it. This reads that structure directly and renders it, then hands it to your browser's print engine so you can save it as a PDF with selectable text rather than a screenshot.

    Why remote images stay off

    A remote image in an email is frequently a one-pixel tracker: loading it tells the sender the message was opened, when, and roughly from where. This blocks them until you choose otherwise, which also matters if you're reviewing an email as evidence and don't want to signal that you've read it.

    PDF output

    Download PDF opens your browser's print dialog — choose Save as PDF as the destination. That route produces a proper text-based PDF that stays searchable and selectable, and paginates long emails correctly.

    Common questions

    What is an .eml file?

    An .eml file is a single email saved as a standalone file — sender, recipients, subject, date, body and any attachments, all stored as plain text in a format almost every mail program understands. You usually end up with one after saving a message out of Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail, downloading the original from Gmail, or receiving a forwarded message as an attachment.

    How do I convert an .eml file to PDF?

    Drop the file onto this page, check it renders the way you expect, then choose Download PDF and set the destination to Save as PDF. That route produces a PDF whose text stays searchable and selectable, rather than a picture of the email.

    Will the PDF be searchable?

    Yes. Because the email is handed to your browser's print engine rather than screenshotted, the text remains real text — you can search it, select it, and copy from it, and long messages break across pages properly.

    Does the PDF include attachments?

    No. Printing captures the message itself, not the files attached to it. Attachments are listed separately on this page and can be downloaded individually, which is usually cleaner than merging them anyway.

    Can I open a .eml file on my phone?

    Yes. This works in any modern mobile browser. On a phone the email opens in a new tab and you use your browser's Share or Print option, then choose Save as PDF.

    Is my file uploaded anywhere?

    No. The file is read and parsed by your own device inside this browser tab. It is never sent to a server. That matters here more than most places, because the emails people convert are usually invoices, contracts, disputes or HR matters.

    Why are images missing from the email?

    Remote images are blocked by default. A remote image in an email is frequently an invisible tracker that reports back when the message is opened, and when, and roughly from where. There is a toggle to load them if you trust the sender.
