PST to ICS — the calendar of an Outlook file as one .ics
Convert the calendar inside an Outlook .pst or .ost file to an .ics that Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook can import.
About this conversion
An .ics is the one calendar format every app imports. The page writes one from the appointments in a .pst: each with its own time zone, repeating meetings as repeat rules rather than hundreds of copies, skipped dates as exceptions and moved occurrences with their new time. The same meeting saved twice — in the calendar and as an invitation in the mail — is written once.
Just want to look inside it?
The same tool without converting anything: open the file and read it.
The same calendar, any way out
The file is read once and stays open, so the format is picked at the end: the same events can leave here as XLSX, CSV, CSV for Google Calendar or PDF. The same meeting found in an invitation, a reply and an export is recognised as one event, and its time is the same moment whichever way it was written — with a time zone, in UTC or as a whole day.
Questions
- Will the times be right after import?
- Times are written in the appointment's own zone under its standard name (America/Los_Angeles, Europe/Berlin), so the receiving calendar places them correctly wherever it is.
- Can I import it into a separate calendar?
- In Google Calendar: create a new calendar first, then Settings → Import & export → choose that calendar. It can be deleted as a whole later.
