# Email to PDF
|
|
|
|
Convert saved email files into clean, printable PDFs. The tool parses EML and MSG files, extracts the full message -- headers, body content, and attachment metadata -- and renders everything into a structured PDF. Useful for legal discovery, record-keeping, or just printing an important email.
|
|
|
|
## Supported Formats
|
|
|
|
| Format | Extension | Notes |
|
|
| :----- | :-------- | :------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
| EML | `.eml` | Standard MIME email format (exported from most email clients) |
|
|
| MSG | `.msg` | Microsoft Outlook proprietary format |
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
1. Click the upload area or drag and drop your EML or MSG files. You can mix both formats in a single batch.
|
|
2. Review the file list. Remove any unwanted entries with the trash icon, or click **Add More Files** to include more emails.
|
|
3. Configure the conversion options (see below).
|
|
4. Click **Convert to PDF**. The tool parses each email, renders the content as styled HTML, and converts it to PDF via the PyMuPDF engine.
|
|
5. A single email downloads as a PDF directly. Multiple emails are packaged into `emails-converted.zip`.

## Options
|
|
|
|
| Option | Default | Description |
|
|
| :--------------------------- | :------ | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| **Page Size** | A4 | Choose between A4, Letter, or Legal page dimensions. |
|
|
| **Include CC and BCC** | On | When enabled, CC and BCC recipient lists appear in the email header section of the PDF. |
|
|
| **Include Attachments List** | On | When enabled, a list of the email's file attachments (with filenames and sizes) appears in the PDF. |
|
|
|
|
## Use Cases
|
|
|
|
- Archiving important business correspondence as PDF for compliance or auditing
|
|
- Printing email threads for legal proceedings or discovery requests
|
|
- Creating a permanent record of order confirmations, receipts, or contracts received via email
|
|
- Backing up Outlook MSG files in a format that doesn't require Outlook to read
|
|
- Documenting customer support interactions from exported EML files
|
|
|
|
## Tips
|
|
|
|
- Both EML (used by Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and most email clients) and Outlook MSG files are supported. Export emails from your email client and drop them directly into the tool.
|
|
- HTML-formatted emails retain their styling in the PDF. Plain-text emails are rendered with clean, readable formatting.
|
|
- The attachments list shows filenames and sizes but does not embed the actual attachment files into the PDF.
