Convert an Outlook .msg file into a single Enhanced Metafile (.emf) that preserves the exact layout of the email, including headers, body formatting, and inline images, as a crisp vector graphic. The resulting .emf scales without quality loss, making it ideal for embedding the email snapshot into Word documents, slides, or reports. Batch conversion is supported, producing a zip archive with one .emf per uploaded message. ──⚡️ The tool renders only the visible message content; separate attachments are not included in the image.──

Complete Email Layout Rendered

The converter reads the uploaded Outlook .msg file and produces a single Enhanced Metafile (.emf) that mirrors exactly how Outlook displays the message. It includes the standard header block — From, To, Cc, Subject and Date — followed by the full body content, preserving the visual hierarchy that users expect when reviewing an email snapshot.

Rich HTML and Plain‑Text Body Fidelity

Both HTML and plain‑text bodies are rendered faithfully: HTML elements such as paragraphs, headings, lists, bold, italic, underline styling, custom fonts, colour specifications and embedded tables are drawn into the vector image with the same layout Outlook would show. Plain‑text messages appear as clean, readable text while still retaining line breaks and spacing.

Embedded Images Integrated

Images embedded directly in the email (cid: references) are placed into the .emf at their original locations, creating a self‑contained picture that does not rely on external resources. For messages that reference images via HTTP or HTTPS URLs, the converter fetches those images during rendering, so typical internet‑connected emails appear with their visual content intact.

Attachments and MAPI Extras Excluded

Binary attachments—such as PDFs, Office documents, separate image files or archives—stay in the .msg envelope but are not drawn into the EMF snapshot because they are not visible in the email body. Outlook‑specific elements like meeting‑request buttons, voting options, follow‑up flags and any RTF‑only formatting also reside outside the rendered view and therefore do not appear in the final image.

Batch Conversion Support

The tool accepts multiple .msg files in a single upload. Each message is processed independently, generating one .emf per input file. After conversion, a zip archive is provided containing all of the resulting vector images, allowing users to efficiently convert large email collections without repeated manual uploads.

Limits and scope

Retention
Uploaded .msg files and their resulting .emf images are removed from the server after 24 hours.
Batch size
Multiple .msg files can be uploaded together; the converter processes each file and returns a zip archive containing one .emf per input.

FAQ

Are email headers such as From, To, Subject and Date included in the EMF image?

Yes, the converter renders the standard header block—including From, To, Cc, Subject and Date—inside the vector image before the body content.

Will images that are embedded in the message appear in the EMF output?

Images embedded via cid: references are drawn at their original positions in the EMF, making the picture self‑contained; external HTTP/HTTPS images are fetched during rendering and also appear in the output.

What happens to file attachments that are part of the .msg?

Binary attachments (PDFs, Office files, separate images, archives, etc.) are not rendered into the EMF because they are not visible in the email body; they remain in the original .msg file and must be saved separately if needed.

What are the file‑size and batch limits for converting MSG files to EMF?

Limits depend on your account tier. Anonymous users have the lowest per‑file size and batch count, free accounts allow larger files, and paid tiers increase both limits. See the pricing page for exact numbers.

How long are uploaded MSG files and generated EMF images kept on the server?

Both the original .msg files and the resulting .emf images are automatically deleted from the server 24 hours after conversion completes.
