Overview

What Is EML to TXT Conversion?

EML is the standard format for a single email message (RFC 822 and MIME). One .eml file holds one message — headers and body (plain or HTML). EML to TXT conversion turns your EML messages into a plain text file you can open in any editor or viewer.

This tool reads each EML file on your device, parses headers and body, and writes one TXT document. HTML content is converted to plain text. No data is uploaded. You download a single .txt file. Batch mode combines many EML files into one TXT for backup or reading.

Converting EML to TXT is useful for simple backup, compliance records, searching across emails in a text editor, or viewing content without an email client. The process is free, runs in the private, and works with EML from any source.

All processing is private; nothing is sent to our servers. Your email files stay on your device until you download the TXT.
