Accepts .msg
How it works
Click the dropzone above or drag a MSG from your desktop. Files of any size, there's no upload, so there's no upload limit.
The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.
Get your PDF the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.
Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.
Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.
No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Drop a file, get a converted file.
Why convert MSG → PDF
For archiving or legal disclosure you often need an email as a single, fixed-layout PDF rather than a re-editable .msg. Renders the Outlook headers (From/To/Subject/Date) and body cleanly, attachments listed by filename.
A discovery request asks for a specific Outlook thread as PDF. Drop the .msg, convert, hand over the PDF.
Inline images do not appear.
We render the text body and headers, not embedded image attachments. If you need the visual fidelity of inline images, open the .msg in Outlook and use Print, Save as PDF instead.
Formats involved
MSG is a file format we support converting. Detailed format information is being added, for now, drop your file in the converter above and you'll get the conversion you came for.
How to open
Most operating systems open this format with a default application; if not, search for a free reader/viewer for the format.
PDF is the universal document format for fixed-layout content, invoices, contracts, scanned documents, e-books, forms. Created by Adobe in 1993 and made an open ISO standard in 2008, PDF preserves exact layout, fonts, and images across every device. Files can be searchable text, scanned images, or both. Most modern PDFs include a text layer that copy/paste and search work against.
How to open
Every modern browser opens PDFs natively. Acrobat Reader is free; macOS Preview, Windows Edge, and ChromeOS all open PDFs without extra software. For editing, Adobe Acrobat Pro or open-source PDFsam are common.

FAQ
Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. Every conversion runs in your browser, your file never touches our servers because there are no servers.
Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.
Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.
File interchange. Documents that need to look identical on every device. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, PDF works in places where MSG doesn't, or vice versa.
Most operating systems open this format with a default application; if not, search for a free reader/viewer for the format.
Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.
Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
