Convert an Outlook .msg email to an OpenDocument Text (.odt) file, preserving the email’s From, To, Cc, Subject and Date as a metadata block at the top of the document. The converter also embeds any inline or referenced images directly into the ODT, so the visual layout stays intact. It handles one message per submission; for processing multiple messages you would need to run the tool repeatedly.

Email metadata captured as a block

The converter extracts the From, To, Cc, Subject and Date fields from the .msg file and places them together at the top of the ODT document as a clear metadata block, so the essential header information is instantly visible after conversion.

Inline and referenced images become part of the document

All images that are embedded in the original email body or linked for inline display are copied from the message and inserted directly into the ODT file, preserving the visual layout without requiring external resources.

Formatted, searchable text stays editable

The body of the email is rendered as regular OpenDocument text, keeping the original paragraph structure, fonts and basic styling so the resulting ODT file is fully searchable, selectable and editable in any ODT‑compatible editor.

Limits and scope

FAQ

Are the From, To, Cc, Subject and Date fields included as a metadata block in the ODT?

Yes. The converter extracts those header fields from the .msg file and places them together at the very top of the resulting ODT as a clear metadata block, so you can see the sender, recipients, subject and date immediately.

Are inline and externally‑referenced images embedded directly in the ODT file?

All images that appear in the original email—whether embedded inline or referenced for display—are copied from the message and inserted into the ODT document, ensuring the visual layout is preserved without external links.

Is the email body rendered as regular OpenDocument text that remains searchable and editable?

The body of the email is converted into normal OpenDocument text, keeping paragraphs, basic styling and fonts. This makes the content fully searchable, selectable and editable in any ODT‑compatible editor.

What is the maximum file size I can convert from MSG to ODT?

Anonymous users can convert smaller MSG files on the free tier; signing in with a free Aspose account raises the per‑file size limit, and paid tiers increase it further.

How long are uploaded and converted files retained on the server?

Both the original MSG file and the generated ODT are automatically deleted 24 hours after the conversion finishes.
