.msg is Outlook's own container format — a compound binary that most converters refuse, mangle, or require a Windows Outlook installation to read. This MSG to PDF converter parses the format directly in your browser: headers, sender, recipients, body and the attachment inventory all come out as a clean, court-ready PDF.
No Outlook. No Windows. No upload. Drop .msg files in and get PDFs plus a CSV index of the batch.
EML is the internet-standard email format (RFC 822/5322) — plain text, readable anywhere. MSG is Microsoft's binary wrapper around the same data, used when Outlook saves messages on Windows. The information content overlaps heavily, but MSG stores it in a property database inside an OLE compound file, which is why generic converters choke on it. This tool reads the properties directly: subject, sender (resolving Exchange directory entries to real SMTP addresses), recipient lists by role, delivery timestamps, body text and attachments.
The usual advice for opening .msg files is "install Outlook" — a paid Microsoft 365 subscription, on Windows, forever. This converter replaces that dependency for the read-and-archive use case: review, produce to PDF, index the batch, done. It runs the same on a MacBook in Safari as on an IT-locked Windows box in Chrome.
Yes. Sender addresses stored as Exchange directory entries are resolved to their SMTP form in the output.
The readable text of the RTF body is extracted and typeset into the PDF; the output is clean plain text.
Same pipeline, same layout, same CSV columns — structurally uniform output whatever the source format. The source filename (which carries the original extension) is preserved in the CSV and in each PDF footer.
