How to Print Email Attachments Online

By PrintoutOnline Editorial5 min read

Print email attachments online without a printer. Download PDFs from Gmail or Outlook, upload to Printster.in, and get professional prints from ₹0.35/page with delivery in 2-7 days across India.

Quick Answer

Download the attachment from your email, convert to PDF if needed, then upload to Printster.in for printing starting at ₹0.35/page.

Step 1: Download from Gmail

  1. Open the email containing the attachment
  2. Hover over the attachment thumbnail at the bottom of the email
  3. Click the download icon (↓) to save the file
  4. The file saves to your Downloads folder

For multiple attachments, click the "Download all" button to get everything in one ZIP file.

Step 2: Download from Outlook

  1. Open the email in Outlook (web or desktop app)
  2. Click on the attachment name or the download arrow
  3. Select "Download" to save the file locally
  4. For multiple files, use "Download all attachments"

Step 3: Convert to PDF (If Needed)

| File Type | Printable Directly? | How to Convert | |---|---|---| | PDF (.pdf) | Yes | Upload directly to Printster.in | | Word (.docx, .doc) | Convert first | Open in Google Docs → File → Download as PDF | | Excel (.xlsx) | Convert first | Open in Google Sheets → File → Download as PDF | | PowerPoint (.pptx) | Convert first | Open in Google Slides → File → Download as PDF | | Images (.jpg, .png) | Convert first | Insert into Google Doc at full size → Download as PDF |

Free online converters: iLovePDF, SmallPDF, and CloudConvert also handle batch conversions.

Step 4: Handle Large or Multiple Attachments

If you have several attachments to print together:

  1. Download all files to a single folder
  2. Convert non-PDF files to PDF format
  3. Merge into one PDF using iLovePDF.com or Adobe Acrobat
  4. Upload the merged file — this saves on delivery cost

For files larger than 25MB (Gmail's attachment limit), check if the sender shared a Google Drive link instead.

Step 5: Upload and Print

  1. Go to Printster.in
  2. Upload your PDF file (up to 100MB supported)
  3. Select print options — B&W or color, paper GSM, single/double-sided
  4. Add binding if printing a large set of documents
  5. Complete payment and track delivery

Common Email Attachments People Print

  • Office memos and reports from colleagues
  • University circulars and exam schedules from administration
  • Coaching notes shared by teachers via email
  • Invoices and receipts for physical record-keeping
  • Government forms and application documents
  • Travel itineraries and booking confirmations

Tips for Best Results

  • Check the file before uploading — open the PDF to verify all pages are present
  • Watch for password-protected PDFs — remove passwords before uploading (use the sender's provided password + a free PDF unlocker)
  • Print double-sided for multi-page documents to save paper and cost
  • Use color only when needed — charts, letterheads, and forms with color elements benefit; plain text doesn't
