How it works
- Drop or select your .eml file. It is parsed on your device only.
- Headers, the message body, and inline images are rendered in a preview.
- Click Print or Save as PDF, then pick your printer or PDF target.
Email headers, inline images, and attachments: what gets preserved
The converter reads the MIME structure of the message. It shows the key headers, From, To, Cc, Date, Subject, and Message-ID, then the body. HTML emails keep their formatting and any images that were embedded in the message (via content-id references) are resolved and displayed inline, so the chart or signature graphic appears where it should.
Attachments are listed by name, type, and size rather than embedded, so you can see what came with the message at a glance. The body itself is untrusted HTML, so it is sanitized and shown in a sandboxed frame that cannot run scripts. See how browser-side rendering works.
Converting emails for legal records and archiving
A PDF is a stable, shareable record of an email that opens anywhere, which makes it useful for HR files, disclosure, internal review, and long-term archiving. Because the conversion runs entirely on your device, a sensitive message is never uploaded to a third-party service to produce that record.
For matters where an email may become evidence, keep the original .eml file as the authoritative source and use the PDF as a review or sharing copy. To turn plain notes into a PDF instead, the Text to PDF converter is a lighter option.
Frequently asked questions
- Are the attachment files themselves included in the PDF?
- No. The PDF renders the email itself, the headers, the message body, and inline images, and lists each attachment by name, type, and size, but it does not embed the attachment contents. Save the .eml if you need the original files, and treat the PDF as a readable record of the message.
- Which headers and body parts are shown?
- The From, To, Cc, Date, Subject, and Message-ID headers appear at the top, followed by the HTML body with its inline images resolved, or the plain-text body if there is no HTML part. Remote images referenced by URL are not fetched; only images embedded in the email are shown.
- How is the email body rendered safely?
- The message body is untrusted HTML, so it is cleaned with DOMPurify and displayed inside a sandboxed frame that cannot run scripts. That keeps a malicious email from doing anything while still showing its formatting, tables, and embedded images faithfully.
- Does my email get uploaded anywhere?
- No. The .eml file is parsed and rendered in your browser on your device. Nothing is sent to a server, there is no account, and it keeps working offline, which matters for confidential correspondence.
