Open any .eml file — privately.

Drop an .eml file, or click to browse

Parsed locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

How it works

Three steps. Zero uploads.

Everything happens on your device. Your emails are never sent anywhere.

01

Drop your file

Drag in a single .eml, or a whole folder to browse an archive.

02

Read it safely

Rendered in a sandbox with trackers and remote content blocked by default.

03

Nothing leaves

A Rust engine parses it all locally. Unplug your network and it still works.

Features

An email viewer that works for you, not the sender.

Everything you need to open, read, inspect, and convert email — safely.

Private by design

No upload, no server, no account. It physically can't send your email anywhere.

Tracker exposé

See exactly who tried to track you — and keep their pixels blocked while images still load.

EML → PDF

Export any email to a clean, selectable PDF in one click. All local, nothing uploaded.

Rendered, text & source

Read the HTML, the plain-text version, or the raw headers and MIME source.

Rust-powered parser

A WebAssembly engine parses even messy, real-world MIME quickly and faithfully.

Open source

Every line is auditable. Don't trust the privacy claim — verify it yourself.

The guarantee

Your email never leaves this device.

Open your browser's network tab, load an email, and watch it stay empty. There's no backend to send data to — by design.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How do I open an .eml file without Outlook?

Just drag it onto Airlock. It opens .eml files right in your browser — no Outlook, no Thunderbird, no software to install. It's free and works on any operating system.

What is an .eml file?

An .eml file is a single saved email in the standard MIME format — the same format email servers use. It contains the message, its headers, formatting, and any attachments. Exporting from Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail often produces .eml files.

Is it safe to open .eml files online?

With most online viewers, you're uploading your private email to someone else's server. Airlock is different: it never uploads anything. Files are parsed entirely on your device, rendered in a locked-down sandbox, and remote trackers are blocked by default. It even works with your network disconnected.

Does Airlock upload or store my emails?

No. There is no server and no account. Your email is read locally in your browser and never transmitted. Because it's open source, you can verify this yourself.

Can I convert an .eml file to PDF?

Yes. Open an email and click PDF to export a clean, selectable PDF — done entirely on your device, with any trackers stripped out.

Does it work offline?

Completely. Once the page has loaded you can go offline and keep opening emails. Since nothing is ever sent to a server, offline is the default state.
