Click inside the file drop area to upload your files or drag & drop them.

Convert a single Outlook .msg email into a ready‑to‑open Outlook .pst file that keeps the full message—headers, body and all attachments. The converter processes one message per submission and returns exactly one PST file you can open directly in Outlook or import into an existing profile. It works well for individual emails; for bulk conversions you would need a different solution.

Complete message preservation

The converter extracts every standard Outlook .msg header—including From, To, CC, Subject, Sent and Received dates—and writes them unchanged into the resulting .pst file. This keeps the original metadata intact and fully searchable in Outlook, so you can locate the email later using the same fields you would with the source message.

Body and rich content retained

Both plain‑text and HTML bodies are transferred exactly as they appear in the source .msg, preserving formatted text, inline images, tables and clickable hyperlinks. When the PST is opened in Outlook, the email renders identically to the original, ensuring visual fidelity and functional links without any manual adjustments.

Attachments embedded in the PST

All file attachments that were part of the original .msg are embedded directly within the corresponding PST entry, retaining their original filenames, file types and binary content. In Outlook each attachment shows up in the attachment pane just as it did originally, allowing you to open, save or forward them without any loss of data or functionality.

Ready‑to‑open PST output

The generated .pst file is a stand‑alone Outlook data file that can be opened immediately in Outlook or imported into an existing profile. No additional conversion steps are required, and the PST contains the full email‑message structure, so you can work with the converted message exactly as you would with any native Outlook item.

Limits and scope

Single‑message scope
Processes one .msg file per submission; for converting multiple messages you would need a batch‑processing solution.
Temporary storage
Uploaded source files and the generated .pst are retained for 24 hours, after which they are automatically removed.

FAQ

Are all original Outlook .msg headers retained in the converted PST?

Yes, the converter extracts every standard .msg header—including From, To, CC, Subject, Sent and Received dates—and writes them unchanged into the PST, preserving the original metadata.

Will HTML formatting, inline images and hyperlinks look the same after conversion?

Both plain‑text and HTML bodies are transferred exactly as they appear in the source .msg, so formatted text, tables, inline images and clickable links are rendered identically when the PST is opened in Outlook.

What happens to file attachments that were part of the original .msg?

All attachments are embedded directly within the corresponding PST entry with their original filenames and content, appearing in Outlook’s attachment pane just as they did in the source email.

What are the file‑size and batch limits for converting MSG to PST?

Anonymous users can convert smaller files on the free tier; signing in with a free Aspose account raises the per‑file size cap, while paid tiers increase the limit further. Each request still handles exactly one file.

How long are my uploaded files and converted PST retained on the server?

All uploaded source files and the generated PST are automatically removed 24 hours after the conversion completes.
