How to convert a .msg file to PDF
- Drop your .msg file into the box above, or choose it from your device.
- Check the free preview: sender, subject and a watermarked first page.
- Pick paper size and an optional password. PDF and image attachments are added as pages; other files download alongside.
- Download your PDF, named after the email's date and subject: free up to 2 MB, or unlock it with a pass.
Exactly what's in your email, presented better
Everything in your email is kept exactly as written: text, fonts, colours, logos and tables. Nothing is re-typed or turned into a picture. Around it, we add a clean, consistent page layout that prints and reads better than Outlook's own.
- Long threads become one clean entry per message, oldest first, with repeated quotes removed. Prefer the original look? Choose Original layout.
- Text stays selectable and searchable; links stay clickable.
- From, To, Cc, Date and Subject sit in a clean header.
- Pages break without cutting images or table rows.
- Arabic and other right-to-left text displays correctly.

MSG to PDF on a Mac, iPhone or Android
Macs and phones can't open .msg files on their own. This converter runs in Safari, Chrome and other modern browsers, so you don't need Outlook or an app. On a phone, tap the box above and pick the file from your downloads.
Convert many .msg files at once
With a 24-hour pass or Pro, drop a folder or a ZIP. Get separate PDFs in one zip, or one merged PDF sorted by date with a cover page listing every email.
See batch MSG to PDFIs it safe to convert confidential emails?
Yes. Emails often hold contracts, invoices and personal details, so this converter works inside your browser. The file is opened and turned into a PDF on your own device, and we never see it.
Questions about MSG to PDF
Is my email uploaded to convert it?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so we never see your email.
What happens to the attachments?
PDF and image attachments are added as pages after the email, so they open in any PDF viewer. Other files, like Word or Excel, download alongside your PDF.
What if the PDF doesn't look right?
Check the free preview first. If anything from your email is missing or wrong in a paid PDF, you get your money back within 7 days.
Can I open an encrypted .msg file?
Emails encrypted with S/MIME can only be opened with the recipient's private key, so we'll tell you if a file is encrypted.
Can I keep the email exactly as Outlook shows it?
Yes. The preview lets you switch from the Clean design to the Original, which keeps the sender's own layout, for records and evidence.
What does it cost?
One email up to 2 MB is free, every time. Bigger emails are $1.99 each, after a free preview (up to 3 previews a day on each device). A 24-hour pass is $6.99 for unlimited emails and batch. Pro is $12.99 a month, or $89 a year. The one-time passes never renew.
Do I need an account?
No. Your pass is linked to the email address you use at checkout, so you can restore it on another device.
Will the PDF open on any device?
Yes. It is a standard PDF with real text, so it opens in any PDF app, browser or phone, and prints on A4 or Letter.
