About .msg to PDF conversion
What is an MSG file?
An MSG file is a Microsoft Outlook email message saved as a standalone file. It contains the email body, sender and recipient information, subject line, date, and sometimes attachments — all packaged in Microsoft's proprietary MAPI format.
How can I open an MSG file without Outlook?
Upload your MSG file to OpenAny. We convert it to a PDF you can open in any PDF viewer, on any operating system, without needing Microsoft Outlook installed.
Can I open MSG files on a Mac?
Yes. Since Microsoft Outlook for Mac handles MSG files differently and not all users have it, OpenAny is a quick free alternative — just upload your MSG and download a readable PDF.
Are my email contents kept private?
Absolutely. Your MSG file is processed securely and permanently deleted from our servers within 60 seconds. We never read, store, or share the contents of your emails.
What parts of the MSG email are shown in the PDF?
The converted PDF includes the email subject, sender, recipients, date, and the full email body. Inline images embedded in the email body are also rendered where possible.
