MSG
Outlook message
MSG is the file Microsoft Outlook saves when you drag an e-mail out of it. Only Outlook opens it, so it is hard to read on a PC without Outlook or on a phone.
Extensions: .msg

What Filee does for MSG → PDF
E-mails dragged out of Outlook are MSG files that only Outlook opens. As PDF they keep the sender, recipients, date, subject and message, and open anywhere. Outlook isn't needed.
- Built in: works right after installing Filee, with nothing else to download.
- Attachments can be saved separately as one ZIP.
- The merge preset combines all dropped files into one PDF.
- Batch: one file or hundreds, converted in parallel; a failure never stops the rest.
- Private: files are converted on your PC and never uploaded, even without internet.
- Saved next to the original, or in a folder and with a file name pattern you choose.
MSG can also become
- HTML
- TXT
- ZIP
- EML
About MSG and PDF
PDF document
PDF is the standard for sharing documents that must look the same everywhere. Fonts, layout and images are fixed, and it opens on any device. That also makes PDFs hard to edit.
