Is my MBOX file uploaded anywhere?

How do I convert MBOX to PDF?
Drop the file on this page, check the preview, and press Download PDF. The conversion runs in your browser in a second or two.
Is the text in the PDF selectable?
Yes. The PDF holds real text in embedded fonts (Liberation Serif, Sans and Mono), so it can be selected, copied and searched, and it stays sharp at any zoom. Words in scripts those fonts do not cover, such as Chinese or emoji, are drawn as small pictures so nothing is lost.
Can I choose the page size and margins?
A4, US Letter, A5, Legal and two book sizes (6 x 9 and 5 x 8 inches), narrow to wide margins, serif or sans-serif text from 9 to 14 pt, and page numbers.
Are attachments included?
Their names, types and sizes are listed under the message. Pictures shown inside the message are kept in place.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser, so the file never reaches a server. It works offline once the page has loaded.
