About EML to PDF

An EML to PDF converter that prints emails the way a mail app does. It reads the full MIME message (character sets, quoted-printable and base64, HTML and plain-text parts), shows inline cid pictures, removes scripts and remote trackers, and lays out the HTML with its own CSS. Attachments are listed, can follow the message as pages, and can be kept in the PDF.

  • Archive invoices and confirmations received by email
  • Send a conversation to a lawyer or accountant
  • Print a batch of emails in one file

Frequently asked questions

What does the PDF show?+

The subject, sender, recipients and date at the top, then the message exactly as it is formatted (HTML emails keep their layout, colours and pictures), and the list of attachments.

What happens to the attachments?+

Attached pictures and PDFs can be added as pages after the message, and every attachment can be kept inside the PDF, where it opens from your PDF reader’s attachments panel.

Can I convert many emails at once?+

Yes. Add as many as you like and get one PDF with each email on a new page, or one PDF per email in a ZIP.

Why are some pictures missing?+

Pictures hosted on the web are not loaded by default, as in mail apps, because loading them can tell the sender you opened the email. Tick the option to load them.

How do I get an .eml file?+

In Gmail, open the message, then More, Download message. In Outlook on the web, Thunderbird or Apple Mail, save or drag the message to a folder.

Are my emails uploaded?+

No. Everything happens in your browser, so your messages never leave your device.
