Why convert MBOX to HEIC?
MBOX stores a whole mail folder in one file and is used by Thunderbird, Apple Mail exports and Google Takeout. The image shows each message in turn, every one with its own table of From, To, Cc, Subject and Date, followed by its body and any attachment names, beneath an “MBOX email archive” heading.
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 MBOX to HEIC?
Drop your MBOX file above and press Convert. Our servers split the archive into its messages, lay out each one with its headers and body, and render the pages. The result is saved as a HEIC image, ready to download.
How are the many emails in an MBOX file arranged in the HEIC?
They appear one after another in the order they are stored, each starting with its own header table.
Which programs' MBOX exports can be converted to HEIC?
Thunderbird, Apple Mail and Google Takeout all write standard mailboxes where each message begins with a “From ” line, and the converter splits the file on those lines.
What happens when a MBOX 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 MBOX 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 .mbox 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.
