Overview

What Is MSG to PDF Conversion?

MSG is Microsoft Outlook's native format for a single email — an OLE2/CFB (Compound File Binary) container storing MAPI properties, headers, body (plain/HTML), and attachment metadata. Converting MSG to PDF means parsing that binary and producing a printable, archivable document. Our tool generates a print-ready HTML page; you use Print → Save as PDF to create the actual PDF file.

Our free converter processes entirely on your device. You drop one .msg file; the tool parses the OLE2 container, extracts Subject, Sender, To, CC, and body, then formats it for print. All processing is private; nothing is uploaded.

Use MSG to PDF for archiving important emails, compliance, or sharing a fixed snapshot that opens in any PDF viewer. No Outlook installation is required — works on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

One MSG file yields one printable view. For bulk conversion from Outlook archives, use multiple MSG files or our PST converter.
