Why convert DBX to HEIC?
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.
HEIC uses High Efficiency Image Coding, the format iPhones and iPads save photos in, so the image is compact while staying sharp.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert DBX to HEIC?
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 a HEIC image, ready to download.
Can old Outlook Express DBX folders still be turned into HEIC?
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 HEIC?
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 HEIC pages?
Each page is rendered at 144 dpi and saved as its own HEIC image, named page-1, page-2 and so on, and they download together as one ZIP. A single page downloads as one HEIC file.
How compact is the HEIC made from a DBX file?
HEIC uses High Efficiency Image Coding, which typically needs about half the space of a JPG of similar quality, so even detailed pages stay small.
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.
