- 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 TIFF file is a graphics container that stores raster images. It may contain high-quality graphics that support color depths from 1 to 24-bit and supports both lossy and lossless compression. TIFF files also support multiple layers and pages.
