FAQ
The OST file was successfully converted to a PST file. I opened the PST file in Microsoft Outlook but can't find my folders (Inbox, Sent Items, Contacts, etc.). Where are my folders?
Since the internal folder structure in an .ost file differs slightly from that of a .pst file, to find your folders, simply expand all first- and second-level folders in the .pst file in Microsoft Outlook. User folders are usually located at the second level of nesting.
I converted an OST to a PST using your online converter. But why is the size of the converted PST file several times smaller than the original OST file?
The size of the final PST file reflects the amount of data actually stored in the OST file. If archiving and Cleanup operations for Online Storage are not performed regularly, the size of the OST file will only grow. As a result, only 5–10% of the file may contain user data.
I have an OST file but no access to the Exchange Server or Windows Domain Controller. How can I transfer emails from the OST file to Outlook?
You can transfer data from the OST file to Outlook in 5 steps:
- Open our website
- Select the OST file on the first page
- Wait for the file to finish uploading to the cloud service and for it to be converted online
- Download the converted PST file
- Open the PST file in Outlook via the File | Open & Export | Open Outlook Data File menu
To open an *.ost file in Outlook, a working Exchange Server and Windows Domain Controller are required for user authentication on both services. Only then can you transfer the contents from the OST file, opened in Outlook, to a PST file in Outlook. The online conversion service eliminates the need for access to an Exchange Server and/or Windows Domain Controller.
Can I convert an OST file online if the file is password-protected?
Yes. The online service does not require a password for the OST file bypasses the password. The newly converted PST file will no longer prompt for a password.
I need to convert an OST file online. Will attachments be transferred from the OST file to the PST file?
All attachments—including emails, files, contacts, and other objects—will be transferred from the OST to the PST file in their entirety, exactly as they are. During the online conversion of OST to PST, the structure of the attachments will remain intact.
Do I need to install Outlook or other programs for online OST-to-PST conversion?
No additional software needs to be installed on your device for online conversion.
Can I convert older versions of OST files online, such as Outlook 2003?
The online converter supports conversion from older versions of OST files (Outlook 97-2003). You do not need to specify the OST file version during online conversion.
I have a huge OST file that is 50 GB+. Can the online service convert such a large file?
The online OST file conversion service successfully converted OST files of 55 GB, 73 GB, and one file of 110 GB during testing. Converting large files takes a long time. The bottleneck is the reliability of your ISP (Internet Service Provider). If your ISP is reliable, the OST file conversion will proceed without complications.
I have an OST file that wasn't created under my Exchange Server account. Can I convert someone else's OST file online?
Yes. You can convert any OST file. The Exchange Server account doesn't matter to the online converter.
I use categories and tags extensively in my email archive within the OST file. Will all categories and tags be transferred to the items during online conversion?
Yes, all categories and tags are preserved. All categories and tags for items and emails are accurately and completely transferred to the PST file during online conversion.
I’m not sure if the data has been fully transferred online from the OST file to the PST file. How can I check the conversion quality?
On the preview page before paying for the OST-to-PST conversion, it’s important to note the size of the source OST file and the converted PST file. The sizes of these files should be similar.
On the same page, a demo PST file is available for download, which you can download and open in Microsoft Outlook. The number of items in the demo file is limited to 5.
I’m converting emails online. How secure is the data storage?
Data from the OST file is converted and temporarily stored on the company’s servers at the Hetzner data center in Finland. Data storage is strictly confidential. The company is responsible for data security and fully complies with all EU GDPR requirements for user data protection.
When I upload my OST file for online conversion, is the conversion performed manually by someone, or does it happen automatically?
Online conversion of OST to PST is performed without any human interaction with user files or data. Online conversion of OST to PST is performed entirely automatically by special server software. The OST-to-PST online conversion software prevents emails, contacts, and other data from falling into the hands of third parties.
I converted an OST file online. How much time do I have to pay for the conversion?
All data (OST file, PST file, preview, demo PST file, logs) is deleted from the server 30 days after being uploaded to the service. Absolutely all data is deleted, including logs and service files. This includes paid PST files as well.

Depending on how busy the server is and the size of the original OST file, the conversion process can take a significant amount of time.
Notes: The size of the new PST file may be considerably smaller than the size of the original OST file. This difference is due to the way that Exchange Server and Microsoft Outlook store data in OST files.

Customer's reviews and ratings
Software was easy to use, it extracted 95% of required data from the OST file. I found out after purchasing, it was unable to recover group contacts. I had no way to test this with the demo. The support team indicated that Microsoft blocks access to exporting group contacts into a PST file. I tested this theory by using another product, which had no issues recovering group contacts to a PST file. So please be aware of this limitation in the software.
Otherwise, software works as expected.
Conversion: OST 20GB to PST 23GB. Windows 11 64-bit Outlook 64-bit, everything worked perfectly. Took about 90 minutes.
JCB 08-20-2025Nice
Sakib 05-18-2025Excellent tool for converting email files.
matsanti 04-15-2025Very good service. Reasonable pricing if you have one or two .ost files to convert.
Adrian 03-16-2025The Convert worked smoothly and did a good job.
What bothered me was that the information that the service was chargeable and the amount of the costs was only provided very late. Of course it would have been possible to cancel at this point, but the data had already been uploaded. I suspect that the user guidance is intended to be this way in order to generate sales.
If I had known this beforehand, I might have looked for another service provider.
Using the online version to see how it goes
Hermes 02-19-2025Even as someone who doesn't know anything about computers, I was able to do it. Congratulations
Günter 01-19-2025I made a mistake when saving an archive in Outlook. Unfortunately, restoring the archive with important emails from the .OST file was no longer possible using the M365 tools because the computer had been changed in the meantime. With the tool, I was able to convert the OST into a .pst file very quickly and without any problems, and thus integrate the archive into M365 (Outlook Classic) without any problems. The price of around €20 was worth it! Great tool. I would use it again.
