Note: For large files, Stellar Converter for OST automatically splits the new PST file in small sizes. The size of the split files will depend on the version of Outlook installed on your computer:

  • If you have Outlook 2007 installed, the new PST will be splitted at approximately 18 GB size.
  • If you have Outlook 2010 or above installed, the new PST will be splitted at approximately 45 GB to 48 GB of size.
