Overview

What Is MSG to CSV Conversion?

MSG is Microsoft Outlook's native format for a single email — an OLE2/CFB (Compound File Binary) container storing MAPI properties such as Subject, Sender, To, CC, Date, and body. Converting MSG to CSV means parsing that binary and exporting the metadata (and optionally a body preview) as a row in a comma-separated values file. One MSG typically yields one row, ideal for spreadsheets or reporting.

Our free converter processes entirely on your device. You drop one .msg file; the tool parses the OLE2 container, extracts the relevant properties, and writes a CSV with a header row and one data row. All processing is private; nothing is uploaded.

Use MSG to CSV for audit lists, migration inventories, or feeding email metadata into Excel, Google Sheets, or databases. No Outlook installation is required — works on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

For many MSG files, convert each to CSV and merge the CSV files, or use our PST to CSV converter for bulk export from Outlook archives.
