Convert MSG to XPS lets you transform Outlook .msg emails into fixed‑layout XPS files that keep the exact visual appearance—including headers, body formatting and inline images. The result is a paginated, print‑ready snapshot that serves as a faithful visual record. Only the email’s body and its inline images are rendered; separate file attachments stay outside the XPS output.

Message headers displayed at the top

The converter extracts the From, To, Cc (if present), Subject and Date fields from the Outlook .msg and renders them at the beginning of the XPS page, giving readers immediate context about who sent the email, who received it and when.

Body layout with full formatting

If the .msg contains an HTML body, the converter preserves paragraphs, headings, lists, bold/italic/underline styles, fonts, colors and tables, laying them out on the XPS pages exactly as they appear in Outlook. For plain‑text‑only messages the text is rendered as clean paragraphs, and pagination follows the natural flow across multiple pages.

Inline images become part of the document

Images embedded in the email body and referenced by cid: are taken from the message’s attachment bundle and painted directly into the XPS pages, making the output a self‑contained visual snapshot. Remote images referenced by http/https URLs are fetched during conversion, so typical newsletters render correctly; embedding them in the original email yields faster, more predictable results.

Attachments are kept separate

Only the email’s headers, body and inline images are rendered into the XPS file. Separate binary attachments such as PDFs, Office documents, standalone images or archives remain outside the XPS output, so if those files are needed they should be saved from the original .msg before conversion.

Fixed‑layout, paginated output

The resulting XPS file is a paginated, print‑ready snapshot that preserves the exact visual arrangement of the email across numbered pages. Text is rendered as part of the page layout rather than as editable content, making the XPS suitable for viewing, archiving and printing.

Limits and scope

File retention: Source and converted files are removed from the server 24 hours after conversion.
Size and batch scope: Free tier handles smaller .msg files; signing in or upgrading increases per‑file size and batch count limits.

FAQ

Are email headers such as From, To, Subject and Date included in the XPS file?

Yes, the converter extracts the From, To, Cc (when present), Subject and Date fields from the .msg and renders them at the top of the XPS document.

What happens to inline images that are referenced with cid: in the original email?

Inline cid images are taken from the message’s attachment bundle and painted directly into the XPS pages, making the output a self‑contained visual snapshot.

Are regular file attachments (PDFs, Office docs, etc.) included in the converted XPS?

No, separate binary attachments are not rendered into the XPS; only the email’s headers, body and inline images are included.

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

Free anonymous users can convert smaller .msg files; signing in raises the per‑file size and batch count, and paid tiers increase those limits further. See the pricing page for exact numbers.

How long are uploaded MSG files and the resulting XPS files kept on the server?

Source .msg files and the generated XPS files are deleted from the server 24 hours after conversion finishes.
