Conversion Quality Deep Dive
Dynamic range — the span from darkest to brightest values — is handled carefully during this conversion. OST Offline Outlook preserves the full range. Word Document maintains the complete dynamic range. Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the Word Document format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in Word Document are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality OST Offline Outlook input produces an excellent Word Document output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly.
