PST to SHP Conversion: FAQ
What are PST files?
PST (Personal Storage Table) is a proprietary file format developed by Microsoft for storing Outlook mailbox data. A PST file can contain emails, folders, contacts, calendar entries, tasks, notes, and attachments in a single archive. PST files are commonly used for email backup, archiving, and data transfer between Outlook installations.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
