C# API to Convert EMAIL to JPEG
- Open EMAIL file using MailMessage class
- Convert EMAIL to HTML by using Save method
- Load HTML by using Document class
- Save the document to JPEG format using Save method and set Jpeg as SaveFormat
Get Started with .NET File Format APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
MailMessage message = MailMessage.Load("sourceFile.msg");
// save EMAIL as a HTML
message.Save("HtmlOutput.html", SaveOptions.DefaultHtml);
// load HTML with an instance of Document
Document document = new Document("HtmlOutput.html");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Jpeg
document.Save("output.jpeg", SaveFormat.Jpeg);
Parse EMAIL File via .NET
Before converting EMAIL to JPEG, if you want to make sure that you are converting the correct email, you can load EMAIL document, parse it and have a look at your desired property. By using MapiMessage class of Aspose.Email for .NET API, you can get sender and recipients information. For example, you can check for a specific sender email for the conversion by using SenderName property.
var outlookMessageFile = MapiMessage.FromFile("message.msg");
// check for SenderName
if(outlookMessageFile.SenderName == "John"){
//proceed with conversion process
}
Restrict JPEG Document Editing via .NET
While saving the document from EMAIL to JPEG, you might need to protect your output document. Sometimes you may need to limit the ability to edit a document and only allow certain actions with it. This can be useful to prevent other people from editing sensitive and confidential information in your document. Aspose.Words for .NET API, enables you to control the way you restrict the content using the ProtectionType enumeration parameter. You can set your document to read-only by using the following lines of code.
Document document = new Document("HtmlOutput.html");
// apply document protection and set protection password
doc.Protect(ProtectionType.ReadOnly, "password");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.Jpeg
document.Save("output.jpeg", SaveFormat.Jpeg);

What is EMAIL File Format?
An email file adheres to a specific format that is recognized by email programs. It comprises a header section and a body section, separated by a blank line. The header contains essential information such as the sender’s email address, recipient’s email address, subject of the email, and the date and time it was sent. The body of the email contains the actual message being conveyed. Email files can exist in either plain text or HTML format. However, HTML emails have become more prevalent in recent times due to their ability to incorporate images and other formatting elements.
The header of an email file provides crucial metadata that aids in routing and organizing messages. It allows the email program to identify the sender, recipient, subject, and timestamp. The body section contains the content of the email, which may include text, images, hyperlinks, and other media elements. While plain text emails are simple and accessible across various devices and email clients, HTML emails offer more design flexibility and interactivity.
With the widespread usage of HTML emails, senders can create visually appealing and engaging messages. HTML emails allow for the inclusion of branding elements, formatting styles, and multimedia content, thereby enhancing the overall presentation and user experience.
What is JPEG File Format?
JPEG, short for Joint Photographic Experts Group, is a widely adopted standard for compressing photographic images. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), JPEG employs a lossy compression algorithm to reduce the file size of images. During compression, certain image data is discarded, allowing for smaller file sizes. The extent of data loss can be adjusted, enabling users to balance file size and image quality according to their requirements.
As a highly popular format, JPEG finds extensive usage in storing and sharing photos. It is widely supported by various image editing software and web publishing platforms. Its compatibility makes it easy for users to work with JPEG files across different applications and platforms.
One of the key advantages of JPEG is its ability to significantly reduce file sizes while maintaining acceptable image quality. This makes it ideal for web-based image sharing, where smaller file sizes enable faster uploading and downloading. JPEG compression achieves higher levels of compression by eliminating redundant image information and exploiting the limitations of human visual perception. While this results in a loss of some image details, the trade-off between file size and image quality can be adjusted to suit specific needs.
