Overview

What Is EDB to EML Conversion?

EDB to EML conversion takes a Microsoft Exchange EDB file (ESE database format) and extracts readable email content into separate .eml files. EML is a universal single-message format (RFC 5322). Outlook, Thunderbird, and most email clients can open .eml files. Converting to EML is ideal for recovering mail from an EDB backup or migrating to another platform.

Our free EDB to EML converter processes on your device. You drop an .edb file, and the tool extracts readable emails and generates one .eml per message. All processing happens on your device; nothing is uploaded to any server.

Use cases include Exchange recovery, migration to Office 365 or Gmail, backing up extracted mail as individual EML files, and opening messages without Exchange Server. No Exchange installation is required — the tool works on Windows, Mac, and Linux on any modern platform.
