GainTools PST Converter - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

GainTools PST Converter is a file conversion software application designed to export Microsoft Outlook Personal Storage Table files into multiple alternative formats. The software supports conversion into eight output formats including MBOX, EML, EMLX, MSG and VCF. The utility enables IT professionals and system administrators to migrate email data from Microsoft Outlook to email clients and platforms that do not natively support the PST format.

The application preserves all email properties including CC, BCC, To and From fields while maintaining attachment integrity and supporting non English character sets such as Korean and Chinese. Users can select individual PST files through a browsing interface that displays the file path for confirmation before processing. A three pane preview interface displays folder structure, item counts and detailed content of individual emails, allowing verification of data prior to conversion. The tool enables selective conversion of specific items or folders and maintains original folder hierarchy and text formatting. Additional capabilities include recovery of items from the trash folder and extraction of contacts to VCF format for compatibility with mobile devices.

GainTools PST Converter operates as a standalone Windows application that supports operating systems from Windows XP through Windows eleven in thirty two bit and sixty four bit configurations. It supports PST files created by Microsoft Outlook versions from two thousand three through two thousand sixteen and functions without an active internet connection. System requirements include a processor of one gigahertz or faster, a minimum of five hundred twelve megabytes of RAM, one hundred megabytes of disk space and a display resolution of at least one thousand twenty four by seven hundred sixty eight pixels. A trial version permits conversion of ten emails per PST folder for evaluation purposes. The application processes one PST file per session without requiring installation of Microsoft Outlook.
