Cigati Solutions Launches PST Converter to Simplify Outlook Data Migration, Archiving, and Cross-Platform Email Portability

Cigati Solutions, a provider of email migration, backup, and data processing software, has released its PST Converter, a utility designed for IT administrators and businesses that need to move Outlook data out of PST files and into other formats or email platforms without losing structure, metadata, or attachments.

Organizations that rely on Outlook eventually run into the same wall: PST files are hard to move anywhere else cleanly. Folder hierarchies get flattened, attachments go missing, and duplicate messages pile up across years of accumulated archives. Doing this manually, especially across dozens of mailboxes, quickly becomes unmanageable for an IT team. Cigati built the PST Converter to remove that friction, giving administrators one interface to pull data out of PST and OST files and place it wherever the business needs it next, whether that’s another file format, an archive, or a live email client.

The tool works directly with Outlook PST and OST files. It convert PST file to PDF and 10+ formats, including PST, MBOX, EML, MSG, DOCX, PNG, ICS, VCF, CSV, MD, and JSON. Before any conversion begins, the software scans source files and flags anything corrupted, blank, or locked, so administrators know upfront which files need attention rather than discovering the problem mid-migration. The PST Converter runs on both Windows and Mac systems.

“PST migrations often get treated as routine, but a single mishandled archive can mean lost attachments, broken folder structures, or years of correspondence that’s no longer accessible,” said a Cigati Solutions spokesperson. “We built the PST Converter so administrators get the same level of control over Outlook data, filtering, duplicate detection, folder mapping, and safe handling of every data type PST files carry, that they’d expect from a full-scale migration platform.”

Key Features of the Cigati PST Converter Tool

• Upfront detection of corrupted, blank, or locked PST and OST files, listed with file name, path, size, and status before conversion begins.
• Import Outlook PST to Office 365, Google Workspace, Outlook.com, GoDaddy, and IMAP.
• Duplicate email detection based on subject, sender, recipient, CC, and message body.
• Date-range filtering to convert or migrate only the emails from a specific period.
• Attachment handling with options to export separately, merge into the output file, or exclude entirely.
• Skip Existing Files logic to avoid re-processing data that has already been moved to the destination.
• Custom output folder assignment for organized, easy-to-track output.
• Segmentation for oversized PST and MBOX data, split either by individual folder or by a defined file size.
• Folder hierarchy preservation, so the destination mailbox mirrors the source structure.
• Import PST to Shared Mailbox without losing metadata and structure.
• User mapping for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace migrations can be filled in automatically using admin credentials or uploaded through a CSV file. Each account is checked and validated before the migration starts.
• Preview Mail feature to inspect an email’s HTML body, plain text, attachments, headers, MIME data, and raw HTML before committing to conversion.
• Post-migration reporting that tracks files processed, successful conversions, failures, skipped items, and detected duplicates.
• Demo version available for evaluation before purchase.
• The PST Converter is also available for download via the Microsoft Store.

Administrators handling large or long-neglected PST archives get batch processing across multiple files at once, along with the filtering and preview tools needed to confirm a migration is accurate before it’s finalized. Between the format options, the built-in duplicate and corruption detection, and the tiered licensing for single users, administrators, technicians, and enterprise deployments, the tool is built for PST migrations of any size, from a single mailbox archive to an organization-wide move off Outlook.
