Why convert PST to GIF?
Microsoft Outlook for Windows stores email in PST data files, which people often export to back up or move a mailbox. The image shows the content of each message in the mailbox, with its text formatting and tables kept, placed one after another beneath a “PST mailbox” heading.
GIF stores the image with an optimised palette of up to 256 colours, which suits text, diagrams and flat colour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert PST to GIF?
Drop your PST file above and press Convert. Our servers export the messages from the mailbox, lay out each message in turn and render the pages. The result is saved as a GIF image, ready to download.
Does the GIF include messages from every folder of the PST file?
Yes. The converter exports the whole mailbox, looks through every folder and subfolder, and lays out the messages it finds in the GIF.
Is the formatting of PST emails kept in the GIF?
Yes. Messages are exported in their HTML form, so headings, bold and italic text, lists and tables are rendered as they were written.
What happens when a PST file fills several GIF pages?
Each page is rendered at 144 dpi and saved as its own GIF image, named page-1, page-2 and so on, and they download together as one ZIP. A single page downloads as one GIF file.
How are colours handled in the PST to GIF image?
GIF uses a palette of up to 256 colours. The converter builds an optimised palette from the rendered image, which keeps text, lines and solid colours clean.
Is my .pst file kept private?
Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted on our servers and deleted automatically within 24 hours. We never read, share or keep your files, and no account is needed.
