Convert ICS to PST

Understanding ICS and PST file formats

The ICS file format, also known as iCalendar, is a widely-used format for calendar data exchange. It allows users to share calendar events and schedules across different platforms and applications. On the other hand, the PST file format is associated with Microsoft Outlook and is used to store a variety of data, including emails, calendar events, and contacts. Converting ICS to PST can be useful for users who want to import calendar events into Outlook.

How to convert ICS to PST

To convert an ICS file to a PST file, you can use Microsoft Outlook, which provides a straightforward way to import calendar events. Follow these steps:

• Open Microsoft Outlook.
• Go to File → Open & Export → Import/Export.
• Select Import an iCalendar (.ics) or vCalendar file (.vcs) and click Next.
• Browse to the location of your ICS file, select it, and click Open.
• Choose whether to import the events into your existing calendar or create a new calendar.
• Click Finish to complete the import process.
