Convert EML to PDF
Turn .eml files into clean PDFs — with attachments and headers intact. Convert one message or a whole batch in your browser, free to try and with no software to install.
Why not just print the email?
Printing or screenshotting an .eml
- Attachments are dropped — only the visible body is saved.
- Headers like From, Date and Message-ID disappear.
- No way to convert dozens of .eml files at once.
- Layout and long content get clipped at the page edge.
Converting the raw .eml with PDFen
- Attachments are converted and included in the PDF.
- From, To, Subject, Date and Message-ID are preserved.
- Upload a ZIP and convert many .eml files in one run.
- Optional PDF/A output for compliant long-term archiving.
How to convert EML to PDF
Upload your .eml files
Drag in one or more .eml files, or a ZIP that contains them. Your files are processed securely.
We convert each email
PDFen reads the raw .eml, renders the message, converts the attachments and keeps the headers.
Download your PDF
Get one PDF per email, or a single merged file. Choose PDF/A if you need to archive it.
What the EML to PDF converter does
More than a print-out — a faithful, self-contained record of the message.
Keeps attachments
Office documents become PDF pages; PDFs and images are embedded, so nothing is lost.
Preserves headers
The From, To, Subject, Date and Message-ID travel with the PDF — not stripped like a screenshot.
Batch conversion
Upload a ZIP of .eml files and convert them all at once, instead of one by one.
PDF/A archiving
Output PDF/A for long-term retention that opens the same way years from now.

Records & archiving

How do I convert an EML file to PDF?
Upload your .eml file (or a ZIP of several) to the converter above and PDFen turns it into a PDF in seconds — including the attachments. There is no software to install; it works in any browser on Windows, Mac or mobile.
What is an EML file?
An .eml file is a single email saved in the standard MIME format, used by Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook and most webmail. It holds the message, its headers and any attachments — everything PDFen needs to build a faithful PDF.
Does the PDF include attachments?
Yes. PDFen reads the raw .eml and converts the attachments too: Office files become PDF pages, and PDFs or images are embedded. A simple print-to-PDF keeps only the on-screen body and drops the attachments.
Can I convert multiple EML files at once?
Yes. Upload a ZIP that contains your .eml files and PDFen converts them in one run. You can download one PDF per email, or merge them into a single document with the merge-email tool.
Is the EML to PDF converter free?
You can try it free, and new accounts start with credits included. Conversion runs in your browser with no install, and your files are processed securely and removed after conversion.
