PST Compress software clears the space that has been already allocated to a file, but is empty, i.e, it shrinks and applies compaction to the user's PST file to downsize it. The tool runs to reduce Outlook mailbox size, especially when the size has increased effectively and needs to be taken care of. Because sometimes, due to oversized PST, Outlook starts working slower. So, to avoid such problems, it is better to reduce pst file size without outlook.
By using this option, attachments from single or multiple PST files will be removed. If you are aware that attachments in your mail and other folders are not important, then deleting the attachment from every single mail will be a tedious task. So, to detach attachments in a single click from emails, this option should be used. But keep in mind that those attachments are permanently deleted. Deleting unwanted attachments from emails effectively reduces the PST size and protects your file from corruption.
If the attachments you think are important and can be used in the future, you can easily save those attachments in a separate folder even after extracting them from the Outlook data file. It will extract all the attachments to reduce Outlook mailbox size and create a lot of blank space in it, so the file can contain the new data. If you need to extract and save your attachments simultaneously, then choose the option "extract & save attachments".
This is an additional option which will zip the entire attachment by its zip feature, which is embedded in this software. So if a user wants to compress his/her attachment file, in that case, this proves to be helpful. At the time of transferring files, zip files can be easily transferred because of their compressed nature; smaller data moves quickly over the network in comparison to massive data. Compressing is usually needed for larger files or when converting a group of files at once.
Email meta data, including sent to, received from, cc, bcc, etc. can be kept secure and original using this tool without any data loss. The structure of the metadata remains the same as it was in the main PST file. PST Compress software is built using advanced algorithms, and hence it avoids redundancy. This means no duplication issue will be encountered by you as it restricts the duplication of data without any loss of data, and as it is based on advanced algorithms, the user can see everything live.
It can compact multiple PST files at a time and also by selecting a folder that contains multiple PST files in it. Batch conversion of files is completely based on a user's choice of whether to select a single file at a time or several Outlook PST files. Use the "Add Files" button to insert single or multiple PST files simultaneously, or click on the "Add Folder" option to directly browse a folder containing multiple PST files in it.
The PST File Compression Tool provides a user-friendly interface, but it is also more sophisticated to install and implement this software. It is not necessary that a user have any profound awareness to deal with the software. It can be easily implemented without any special guidance by non technical users belonging to any field. If you have compressed large data using compaction, Outlook will perform better and faster.
It supports all the versions of Microsoft Outlook, like 2021, 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007, and 2003. Compact PST Software is compatible with Windows operating systems (including Windows 11, 10 and below versions). It can compress PST files which are running on any of the abovementioned versions of Outlook. Users do not need to worry about whether they are using an older or newer version of Outlook because it is compatible with both.
PST File Compressor does not mix up the attachment of one file with another and reduces the chances of problems which can occur in the future, regarding data mix up. And for more convenience, it generates a CSV report of the entire process and provides a report related to final results. It provides complete information about each data file that has been compressed and also acknowledges users about the current size of the file after performing compression in Outlook data files.

The PST Compact software genuinely helped me to get rid of the space issue I was having in my Outlook 2010. I had a large outlook data file and not just that, I had to extract attachments too. By using this tool, I was able to achieve both the tasks, i.e., compress Outlook data file as well as extracting attachments from the Outlook mailbox. A big thanks to the developers!

As I use Outlook very much, the size of my Outlook file has increased. And now it is becoming difficult to manage it. I have also adopted the method provided by Microsoft to compact the size, but it didn't work for me. So I asked my colleagues to suggest some better solutions to reduce file size, and they suggested PST Compress software. I downloaded it and it worked very well, according to my requirements.
