# How can I convert PST files when Microsoft Outlook is not available?

You can convert PST files even if Microsoft Outlook is not installed on your computer by using a dedicated PST conversion tool. [**PCDOTS PST Converter**](https://pcdots.com/pst-converter.html) is one option that lets you open and process PST files without depending on Outlook. You can add the PST file to the software, preview the mailbox data, select the required folders, and choose the format you want to convert the data into. This can be useful when Outlook is unavailable but you still need to access or migrate emails, contacts, calendars, and other mailbox data stored in a PST file.
