EML & MSG Viewer — Open Email Files Without Outlook

Open .eml and Outlook .msg files in your browser: read the message, save the attachments, print it to PDF or turn a .msg into an .eml. Nothing is uploaded, and tracking images stay blocked.

.eml · Outlook .msg · attachments · to PDF or .eml

Your email is opened in your own browser — it is never uploaded.

Contracts, invoices, private conversations: the message is taken apart inside this tab, on your computer or phone. There is no server step, so no copy of it ends up on anyone else's machine, and there is no account to create. The attachments, the PDF and the .eml are made here too, scripts in the message never run, and remote images stay blocked until you load them. Check it rather than trust it: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and open a message — no request carries it.

EML & MSG Viewer — Open Email Files Without Outlook

An email saved as a file arrives as one of two things: an .eml, the standard internet message that most mail programs save, or a .msg, Outlook’s own format, which almost nothing but Outlook opens. Drop either here and the message opens in your browser — the sender, recipients and date, the formatted body with its inline pictures, and every attachment ready to save. A .msg can be saved as an .eml for Apple Mail, Thunderbird or any other program, and any message can be printed or saved as a PDF. The file is read in the tab on your own device. Scripts inside the message never run, and pictures hosted elsewhere stay blocked until you choose to load them, because in email those are usually tracking pixels that tell the sender you opened it.

EML and Outlook MSG

Both formats, including Outlook messages that keep their HTML wrapped inside RTF, Korean and other non-Latin text, and messages attached inside messages.

Attachments Out

Every attachment listed with its size, ready to save one by one or all at once as a .zip.

Tracking Pixels Blocked

Remote images are held back until you ask, so opening an old message does not tell anyone you read it, or from where.

Never Uploaded

Emails hold contracts, invoices and private conversations. The file is opened in your browser and never sent anywhere — and you can check.

!How It Works, Step by Step

1

Drop one or more .eml or .msg files onto the page. They are opened in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

2

Read the message: sender, recipients, date and the formatted body, with its inline pictures.

3

Save the attachments, print the message or save it as a PDF, or save a .msg as an .eml.

4

Load the remote images only if you want to — the page tells you how many there are.

Technical FAQ

How do I open an .msg file without Outlook?
Drop it onto this page. The message opens in your browser with its sender, recipients, date, formatted text and attachments — no Outlook, no install and no upload. If you want it in another mail program, click Save as .eml.
How do I open an .eml file?
Drop it here and it opens in the browser, attachments included. On a computer with a mail program installed you can also double-click it, but that program may load remote images and tell the sender you opened it; this page blocks them.
Can I convert an MSG to PDF?
Yes. Open the message and click Print / Save as PDF, then choose Save as PDF as the printer. The PDF starts with the subject, sender, recipients, date and the list of attachments, then the message itself.
Can I convert MSG to EML?
Yes. Open the .msg and click Save as .eml. The .eml keeps the sender, recipients, date, subject, the text and formatted versions of the body, inline pictures and every attachment, and opens in Apple Mail, Thunderbird and most other mail programs.
Are my emails uploaded?
No. The file is read into the browser tab and taken apart there; the attachments, the PDF and the .eml are made in the tab too. No part of it is sent to a server, which you can confirm in the Network tab of your browser’s developer tools.
Why are some pictures not showing?
Pictures stored on a web server rather than inside the email are blocked until you click Load them. In email they are often tracking pixels: loading one tells the sender that the message was opened, when, and roughly where. Pictures inside the message itself always show.
Is it safe to open a suspicious email file here?
Safer than in a mail program: scripts in the message never run, forms are removed, and links open in a new tab only when you click them. Attachments are only saved, never opened. Still treat attachments from unknown senders with care once they are on your computer.
What about .emlx files from Apple Mail?
They open too. An .emlx is an .eml with a byte count in front and Apple’s own notes after it; the viewer reads the message in between.
