Legal & compliance
MsgToPdfConverter turns individual Outlook emails into readable, shareable PDFs with headers and attachments preserved — useful for document production, internal review, and exhibit preparation. It's not a full eDiscovery platform: it doesn't generate load files, apply Bates numbering, or produce a forensic chain-of-custody log. See below for what it does and doesn't cover.
Legal technology guidance generally advises against document productions delivered as one large merged PDF — it makes individual documents difficult to isolate, cite, or reference cleanly during review. This tool's default behavior already follows that principle: converting a batch of emails produces one PDF per email, not a single combined file.
For organizing files before or after conversion: since Bates numbering isn't built in, a consistent file naming convention — date, sender, and subject — makes files easier to track manually. If your matter requires formal Bates numbering, apply it afterward with dedicated PDF tools once your set of converted files is ready. See the full conversion guide for step-by-step instructions.
For a single document, drag the .msg or .eml file into the converter and download the PDF — no account needed for the first few. If you're producing several emails at once, a free account unlocks batch conversion so you can convert them together instead of one at a time.
Turn a specific email into a clean PDF for a filing or presentation.
Respond to a limited request for a handful of emails without specialized software. Need more volume? See batch conversion.
Convert relevant emails into a shareable, reviewable format for internal records. Free and paid plans available depending on volume.
Save important correspondence as a permanent, portable file for the case record.
Visible header information (sender, recipients, subject, timestamp) is preserved in the PDF. This tool does not generate cryptographic hash values or a formal chain-of-custody record — consult your litigation-support team on whether that's required for your matter.
For high-volume productions with load files, Bates numbering, or deduplication requirements, a dedicated eDiscovery platform is the appropriate tool. This converter is best suited to individual documents or smaller productions — see plan options if you need higher conversion volume.
No, Bates numbering isn't currently supported.
Files are encrypted in transit, processed in memory, and automatically deleted from our servers within 24 hours. See the conversion guide for more on how the process works.
