Check our videoThe MSG is a file format used by Microsoft Outlook to store email messages, including attachments, headers, and metadata. It is primarily supported by Microsoft Outlook and other Microsoft Office applications, but can also be accessed using third-party tools like LibreOffice, Thunderbird, or specialized MSG viewers. The format stores data in a structured binary format, preserving email properties such as sender, recipient, subject, and timestamps, while also supporting advanced features like embedded objects, RTF formatting, and custom properties.
A TXT (Plain Text File) is a simple and widely used file format that stores unformatted text, making it universally readable across different platforms and devices. It can be opened and edited by basic text editors like Notepad, TextEdit, and more advanced tools like Notepad++, VS Code, or even integrated development environments (IDEs). The format contains only raw text characters, without any embedded formatting, images, or metadata, though it supports basic line breaks and encoding standards like ASCII or UTF-8 for multilingual text.
You can also convert MSG into many other file formats. Please see the complete list below.
