Drop EML files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

Save the TXT, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.
The EML to TXT converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your emails are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.
No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.
EML is the raw message, with encoded attachments and HTML bodies that need a mail program to display. Plain text opens on every device and is easy to search or paste elsewhere. EML is at home in saving a single email with its attachments; TXT is the usual choice for notes, logs and text that must be read by anything.
The text file holds the headers (from, to, date, subject) and the message text; attachments are listed, not included. Headers in other character sets (UTF-8, ISO-8859, ISO-2022-JP and the like) and encoded bodies and attachments are decoded. Messages up to 100 MB are accepted.
An EML file is one email saved as plain text: headers such as From and Subject, then the body, with attachments encoded as text. The layout is the Internet message format that mail servers use. Most mail programs can open it and drag-and-drop one out of a message list.

No. The EML to TXT conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.
Text is kept. Formatting carries over only as far as TXT supports it.
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.
The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the EML file, press Convert and save the TXT. There is nothing to install.
Yes. A message can be up to 100 MB; a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
