How to Convert an Email to PDF
Written and fact-checked by The EditPDF AI Team
Emails are effectively small HTML documents, so converting one to PDF works the same way as converting any other HTML page.
Step-by-step
- 1In your email client, find the option to view the message source or "download as HTML" — most webmail clients offer this under a message's options menu.
- 2Copy the HTML content, or save it as an .html file.
- 3Paste or upload it into the HTML to PDF tool.
- 4Convert and download the PDF copy for your records.
Quicker alternative
Most email clients also offer a direct "Print" option that lets you save straight to PDF — use that first if you do not need to edit the HTML before converting.
