Softaken PST to EML Converter is a standalone software application that converts Outlook PST files to individual EML files. The tool works independently without requiring Microsoft Outlook to be installed, making it suitable for users with orphaned PST backups.

The converter preserves complete email data including RFC-822 metadata, attachments, inline graphics, and formatting. It supports both ANSI PST files from Outlook 2002/XP and UNICODE PST files from modern Outlook versions (2024, 2021, 2019, 2016, 2013).
