Why convert EML to GIF?
EML is the standard single-email file saved by Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook and most other mail programs. The image shows a header table with From, To, Cc, Subject and Date, followed by the message body with its formatting and a list of any attachments by name and file type.
GIF stores the image with an optimised palette of up to 256 colours, which suits text, diagrams and flat colour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert EML to GIF?
Drop your EML file above and press Convert. Our servers read the email, lay out its headers, body and attachment list, and render the page. The result is saved as a GIF image, ready to download.
Are the sender and recipients shown when an email converts from EML to GIF?
Yes. A table at the top lists From, To, Cc, Subject and Date, and any field the email leaves empty is omitted so the header stays tidy.
What happens to attachments when an EML email becomes a GIF?
Each attachment is listed by file name and type under an Attachments heading below the message, so you can see everything that came with the email.
What happens when a EML file fills several GIF pages?
Each page is rendered at 144 dpi and saved as its own GIF image, named page-1, page-2 and so on, and they download together as one ZIP. A single page downloads as one GIF file.
How are colours handled in the EML to GIF image?
GIF uses a palette of up to 256 colours. The converter builds an optimised palette from the rendered image, which keeps text, lines and solid colours clean.
Is my .eml 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.
