- Description
- The PST file (Outlook Personal Storage File) is a proprietary file format used by Microsoft Outlook to store copies of messages, calendar events, and other items within Microsoft software such as Microsoft Exchange Client, Windows Messaging, and Microsoft Outlook. The PST file acts as a local archive, allowing users to manage their email data offline, organize their email inbox, and back up important correspondence, contacts, and calendar appointments. It can be password protected for added security.
- A PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
