About OFT files

A .OFT file is a Microsoft Outlook File Template, designed to save the layout, formatting, subject line, and content of an email message for repeated use. These files are essential for businesses sending standardized communications like weekly newsletters, invoices, or automated responses. However, because the format is proprietary to Microsoft Outlook, .OFT files present significant compatibility challenges. They require the desktop version of Outlook to open and edit natively; they often fail to render correctly in web-based clients (like Gmail or Outlook.com), on mobile devices, or in alternative mail clients like Mozilla Thunderbird.

Users frequently encounter friction when trying to share these templates with colleagues who do not have the same version of Outlook or who use different operating systems (like macOS or Linux). To overcome these proprietary constraints and ensure the content is accessible to everyone, conversion is the best strategy. For archiving or reviewing the design without Outlook, convert the file to PDF. To import the message data into other email clients, convert to EML. For extracting the HTML structure for use in web design or marketing tools, convert to HTML or TXT.

Convert.Guru analyzes your OFT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted ODT, OTF, MSG, OFT2, DOCX, HTML, EML, OFL, ZIP, PDF, WFT, OPT and PNG files.
