Why convert DBX to BMP?
Outlook Express, the mail program built into Windows 98, 2000 and XP, stored each mail folder as a DBX file. The image shows every message from the folder, each with a header table of From, To, Cc, Subject and Date, its body text and a list of any attachments.
BMP stores every pixel uncompressed, so the image is exact and simple to read by any software that handles Windows bitmaps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert DBX to BMP?
Drop your DBX file above and press Convert. Our servers extract the messages from the Outlook Express folder, lay out each one and render the pages. The result is saved as an uncompressed BMP bitmap, ready to download.
Can old Outlook Express DBX folders still be turned into BMP?
Yes. The converter extracts every message stored in the DBX folder file and lays them out with their headers and bodies.
Does each message from a DBX file keep its own header in the BMP?
Yes. Every message starts with its own table of From, To, Cc, Subject and Date, followed by the body and any attachment names.
What happens when a DBX file fills several BMP pages?
Each page is rendered at 144 dpi and saved as its own BMP image, named page-1, page-2 and so on, and they download together as one ZIP. A single page downloads as one BMP file.
What kind of BMP does the DBX converter create?
A standard Windows bitmap with every pixel stored uncompressed, so the image is an exact copy of the rendered result.
Is my .dbx file kept private?
Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted on our servers and deleted automatically within 24 hours. We never read, share or keep your files, and no account is needed.
