If you want to extract attachments from MSG files, you have two options—one is the manual method, and the other is with the help of a professional tool. I have tried both and I am telling you based on my experience. First of all, talking about the manual method, if you have very few MSG files and Microsoft Outlook is installed in the system, then you can extract attachments from the MSG file, but if the number of MSG files is more, then this method becomes very time-consuming and tedious. Also, Outlook is also necessary.
When I had to extract attachments from hundreds of MSG files, I used Softaken MSG Attachment Extractor and this tool proved to be very useful for me. In this, you can load MSG files of the entire folder at once and all the attachments are extracted at once. In this, if you want, you can extract only some specific types of files like PDF or JPG, etc. Outlook is also not required to use this tool. Its interface is very easy and anyone can use it even if they do not have technical knowledge. This tool also has a free trial version so that you can check its performance and quality first. And if you face any problem in any step, then their 24x7 technical support team is also very helpful.
