Save Outlook Email as PDF for Court (Free & Private)

Outlook stores a ton of metadata—sender names, message IDs, and CC lists—that judges expect to see. Instead of printing screenshots, save the email as an .msg or .eml, upload it to EmailCourt, and download a clean, chronological PDF transcript.

Step 1 — Export the Outlook message

  1. In Outlook desktop, open the email and pick File → Save As → Outlook Message Format (or choose EML).
  2. Outlook on the web: open the message, click More actions, then select Download (.eml).
  3. Repeat for each message you plan to include, or use an archive tool to collect them first.

Step 2 — Upload to EmailCourt

  1. Go to courtpdf.com/emailcourt and drag the MSG or EML files (or a ZIP containing them) into the dropzone.
  2. EmailCourt parses everything locally and displays the messages in chronological order.
  3. Use filters for From, To, date range, keyword search, or require CC recipients when you need a narrow thread.

Step 3 — Generate the court-ready PDF

  1. Check the preview to confirm the conversation order and participants.
  2. Click Generate Court-Ready PDF to download a transcript with a cover sheet, participant list, and timestamped messages.
  3. Attach the PDF to your discovery response, hearing packet, or exhibit binder.

FAQ

Will attachments be included? EmailCourt lists attachment names so the court sees they existed, but it doesn’t embed binary attachments inside the transcript.

Can I mix Outlook and Gmail exports? Yes. Drop them all into EmailCourt; it normalizes timestamps and participant lists before generating the PDF.

Is it private? Completely. All parsing happens in your browser—no uploads, no accounts.
