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

  1. 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.
  2. 2Copy the HTML content, or save it as an .html file.
  3. 3Paste or upload it into the HTML to PDF tool.
  4. 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.
