Free email, chat and backup viewers

Read Outlook and Mac mailboxes, saved emails, WhatsApp chats, Evernote exports and iPhone backups in your browser, without uploading them.

A mailbox, a chat history or a phone backup is about as personal as a file gets: years of conversations, addresses, photos and passwords people mailed to themselves. It is also exactly the kind of file people end up uploading to a converter when they change jobs, leave Outlook or replace a phone. Every viewer on this page reads it in your own browser instead.

The MSG & EML Viewer opens a single email someone saved or forwarded as a file, attachments and all, without Outlook. The PST Viewer opens a whole Outlook mailbox - a .pst or .ost of any size - searches every folder and exports mail, contacts and calendars, and the OLM Viewer does the same for an archive exported from Outlook for Mac, which Windows Outlook cannot read at all, saving it as .eml or .mbox. In all three, pictures an email links to on the web load only if you choose, since loading them can tell the sender it was opened.

The ENEX Viewer opens an Evernote export and saves its notes as Markdown or HTML, the WhatsApp Chat Viewer turns an exported chat back into a readable conversation with its photos and voice notes, and the iPhone Backup Viewer gets the messages, WhatsApp chats, photos, notes, contacts and calls out of an iTunes or Finder backup of an iPhone, encrypted ones included. The Snapchat Memories Fixer puts the captions back on a Snapchat Memories export, joins its split videos and writes each memory's date and place into the file.

All free, with no account, because nothing is being uploaded and there is no server bill to pass on.
