Read an .eml email without a mail program: sender, recipients, date, the message with its pictures, and every attachment. Save it as a PDF or print it. The file stays on your device.

Your file stays on this device: it is read here, in your browser, and never uploaded.
One message, or many at once. Outlook .msg files open here too.
Or several at once: you get a list of the messages and open them one by one. Outlook .msg files open here too.
The headers, the text or the formatted (HTML) version, the pictures sent inside the message and the attachments. Pictures stored on the internet are not loaded, so the sender cannot tell that you opened it.
Save the message as a PDF, print it with its original formatting, or save the attachments one by one. Attached emails open here too.
An .eml file is one email saved in the internet’s standard message format (RFC 5322 with MIME): the headers (who sent it, to whom, when, the subject), the text, often a formatted HTML version, and the attachments, all in one plain-text file. The attachments are inside it, encoded as text, so the file is usually larger than the message looks.
An .eml file opens with a double-click only when a desktop mail program is set up to handle it. On a computer without one, or on a work machine where you cannot install software, the file may open in a text editor, which shows raw headers and the attachments as long blocks of encoded text. Phones and tablets often show an .eml attachment as a file they cannot preview.
Choose it here: the message opens in your browser with its attachments. Thunderbird and Apple Mail also open .eml files, if you have them installed.
Save the .eml to Files (iPhone and iPad) or Downloads (Android), then open this page in Safari or Chrome and choose it. The message and its attachments appear in the browser.
No. The .eml file is read by code running in your browser and never leaves your device. No code on the page sends the file or its name anywhere, not even to our own domain; the usage events described in the privacy policy never include the file, its name or its contents.
Open it here and press “Save as PDF”. The PDF has the subject, sender, recipients, dates, the text with the PNG and JPEG pictures sent inside the message, and the list of attachments. To keep the original formatting, every alphabet and every picture type sent inside the message, press “Print” and choose “Save as PDF” as the printer (pictures stored on the internet never load). One message at a time is free.
Yes. Choose all the files together (up to 10,000), then “Convert all”: you get one PDF per message in a ZIP, or all of them in one PDF (up to 1,000 messages), and if you want, a ZIP of the attachments and a CSV index. This is a paid feature (a 30-day pass or a yearly plan); during the launch it is free too.
Many emails load their pictures from the sender’s server when you open them, which tells the sender that you read the message. This viewer never contacts those servers, so those pictures stay blank, in the PDF and the printout too; “Show where they are” outlines their places without loading anything. Pictures sent inside the message are shown.
Open the file here and press “Save” next to each attachment. An attached email can also be opened here, with its own attachments.
Outlook packed the attachments into a winmail.dat file. Press “Open in the winmail.dat opener” next to it and the winmail.dat opener unpacks them.
Yes: an .eml file can be dragged into an Outlook folder or opened with Outlook for Windows. This viewer does not change your file.
