EML Email Converter Tutorial
What is an EML file?
.eml is the standard format for a single email message. Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Windows Mail, and most other email clients can export individual messages as .eml files.
Why This Tool Exists
If someone sends you an .eml file and you don't have Outlook, Thunderbird, or a desktop mail client installed, you can't open it. Web-based mail (Gmail, Outlook.com) can't open .eml attachments either. This tool opens .eml files in your browser — no software to install.
What Gets Extracted
- Headers: From, To, Cc, Subject, Date, Message-ID
- Body: Plain text and rendered HTML
- Attachments: Filenames, types, sizes
Export Formats
- TXT — Plain-text readable email (good for printing, archiving)
- HTML — Self-contained HTML page that preserves email formatting. Open in any browser; use browser's "Print to PDF" for a PDF copy.
- JSON — Structured data for analysis or bulk processing
How to Get .eml Files
- Outlook (desktop): Drag email to folder — saves as .msg. Open in Outlook → Save As → .eml.
- Apple Mail: File → Save As — defaults to .eml.
- Thunderbird: Right-click email → Save As → .eml.
- Gmail: Open message → three-dot menu → Download message (.eml).
Privacy
Your email content is processed on our server for the duration of the conversion. Nothing is stored after the response is returned. Attachments are extracted to show their names and sizes, but not scanned or shared.
