Convert Emails to PDF Files
If you just received a very important email that you want to save, you can keep it as a PDF file on your iPhone. This works with any iPhone, but keep in mind that you won’t be able to access any attached files.
This is how you can turn your emails into PDF files:
- Open the Mail app on your iPhone.
- Choose the email you want to convert.
- Tap the Reply button at the bottom of your screen (the curved left-pointing arrow).
- Scroll down and select Print.
- Tap the Share button in the top-left corner of your screen.
- Select Save to Files.
- Choose a folder where you’d like your PDF file to be saved.
Now you need to go to your Files app, and you’ll be able to open the email as a PDF file. You can also share it or do whatever else you want with it.
The Share button in step 5 only appears in iOS 16 or newer; if you’re running an older iOS version, you’ll need to use two fingers to expand the preview at the bottom of your screen instead, as if you were zooming in on a photo. Then you’ll see the Share button appear at the bottom of the screen.
