MSG Document Format

MSG Converter

The MSG file format was developed by Microsoft for its Outlook email program. Microsoft Outlook can be accessed online with internet browsers, or through software applications, which are available for all the main operating systems. MSG files can be opened within Outlook, but also with other some other applications.

MSG is short for ‘message’, which is what the files are. However, as well as email messages, Outlook will also save contact and calendar items into MSG format. Like the EML format, MSG email files include a header with the email subject, the sender and receiver, and the date and time the email was sent, as well as the body of the message. The files can also include email attachments. Contact files from Outlook that are saved/exported into MSG format would include whatever contact information had been entered, while calendar items would include the time, date and location of the meeting or diary item, plus any extra information.

PDF Document Format

PDF Converter

PDF stands for ‘Portable Document Format’ file. It was developed by Adobe so people could share documents regardless of which device, operating system, or software they were using, while preserving the content and formatting. The format has evolved to allow for editing and interactive elements like electronic signatures or buttons. The PDF format is now a standard open format that isn’t just available under Adobe Acrobat. It is maintained by the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO).

PDF files aren’t typically created from scratch, but are usually converted, saved or ‘printed’ from other documents or images before sharing, publishing online or storing. They can be viewed on almost all devices. Creating a PDF can involve compressing a file, making it take up less storage space. You would typically create a PDF if you wanted to ensure document fidelity, to make it more secure, or to create a copy for storage.

One of the quickest ways to convert a MSG file to PDF is by using Zamzar’s conversion tool. Accessible online through our homepage, our MSG converter is simple and free to use, with the option to have a downloaded link to the converted file emailed to you once the conversion is complete. Alternatively, you could use a downloaded MSG conversion tool, such as ZOOK, or, if you are on Windows 10, use Outlook’s ‘Print to PDF’ option.

You can open a MSG file using Outlook for Windows, by opting to view the MSG file through Outlook Web App, by installing an MSG viewer, or by using an online conversion tool to convert your file to a different file format that you can open on your device. Zamzar’s web-based converter helps you to quickly convert your MSG file to other formats like PDF and DOC, so that you can easily open them on your computer, tablet, or phone.

You can open MSG files without Outlook by downloading and installing an MSG viewer, an MSG converter, or another downloaded tool, such as SeaMonkey. However, these tools can often cost you money and will take up extra space on your device. A free and easy alternative solution is to convert your MSG file to PDF using Zamzar’s online converter, and opening your converted PDF file on your device in an internet browser, once downloaded.

You can open a MSG file on a Mac without downloading specialist software, by forwarding the MSG file to an Outlook email address and viewing the message through Outlook Web App. Alternatively, you can open your MSG file by converting it to a more easily-accessed format, such as PDF, using Zamzar’s free conversion tool. In just a few clicks you’ll have a PDF version of your file, which you can open with any internet browser.

Convert your messages to PDF on Mac using Zamzar’s free conversion tool. Our service enables you to upload your file, select your preferred output format, and download your conversion from the same page - no software download or installation required. It’s as simple as: 1) upload your MSG file, 2) convert to PDF, 3) download! Easy peasy. If online conversion isn’t your thing, you can download specialist tools or applications such as MSG-viewer software or SeaMonkey internet application suite.
