About Email to PDF
Emails Worth Keeping, In a Format Worth Sharing
An .eml or .msg file is fine inside a mail client, but the moment you need to attach a message to a report, file it with legal, forward it to someone without Outlook, or archive a conversation for your records, you need a PDF. This tool parses the raw email — headers, HTML body, inline images and attachments — and renders it as a clean, paginated document that opens anywhere.
Drop in a .eml file (the standard export format from Gmail, Apple Mail and most clients) or a .msg file from Outlook. Before you convert, a preview shows the parsed subject, sender, recipients, date and attachment list, so you can confirm you grabbed the right message.
What You Can Control
The output is a document of record, so the options are about what the PDF shows and how it reads.
Header Fields
Choose whether CC and BCC recipients appear in the PDF alongside From, To, Subject and Date.
Date Format and Timezone
Render the message date in long or short form, in the original timezone or converted to your local one.
Three Ways to Handle Attachments
List attachments in the PDF, embed them inside the file so they can be extracted later, or append PDF and image attachments as extra pages.
Paginated, Styled Output
The HTML body is rendered with its formatting and inline images intact, paginated to A4 or Letter with proper page breaks.
Built for Records, Legal and Archiving
Filing a dispute? Convert the thread to a PDF with full headers and a timestamp you can cite. Responding to a discovery request? Embed the original attachments inside the PDF so the whole message travels as one file. Archiving project correspondence? Append PDF attachments as pages so the contract and the email that delivered it sit in a single document.
Inline images — signatures, logos, screenshots pasted into the body — are rendered in place rather than dropped, so the PDF looks like the message actually looked.
How It Compares
Printing an email from a mail client loses information. This keeps the whole message.
| Feature | OxygenPDF | Print from mail client | Screenshot the email |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reads .eml and .msg directly | |||
| Full headers (From, To, CC, BCC, Date) | Partial | Partial | |
| Inline images preserved | |||
| Attachments embedded or appended | |||
| Selectable, searchable text | |||
| No file upload required |
Your Email Never Leaves Your Device
Email is the last thing you should upload to a random website — it carries contracts, personal conversations, credentials and the kind of details that make phishing easy. Most online email converters send your file to a server to parse it.
OxygenPDF parses the .eml or .msg file and generates the PDF entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted, nothing is stored, and closing the tab wipes the data. For messages covered by confidentiality agreements or privacy law, client-side conversion is the only sensible default.
