Convert PST to GV
Fast, free, and secure PST to GV conversion. No registration required.
A fast, free pst to gv conversion tool that works offline — your files stay on your device from start to finish. PST Outlook Data was designed for Outlook email backup, migration and archival of complete mailbox. By converting to Graphviz Source, you unlock Graphviz diagrams using the .gv extension to avoid conflicts. This conversion bridges two ecosystems: Microsoft's PST Outlook Data and AT&T Labs's Graphviz Source. Xonvert supports batch conversion — convert multiple files at once and download them all as a ZIP.
Why Choose GV Format for Your PST Files?
There are strong reasons to convert PST to GV:
Metadata handling: Graphviz Source has robust metadata support, allowing you to embed titles, tags, and descriptions that travel with the file.
Industry standard: In many diagram workflows, Graphviz Source has become the go-to format, making this conversion a frequent necessity.
API and automation: Many automated workflows and APIs expect Graphviz Source as input, making this conversion necessary for programmatic processing.
Editing flexibility: Graphviz Source files can be opened in a wider range of editing software, giving you more options for further modifications.
Collaboration ease: Team members and collaborators are more likely to have software that opens Graphviz Source natively, reducing compatibility friction.

Conversion Quality Deep Dive
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the Graphviz Source format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in Graphviz Source are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality PST Outlook Data input produces an excellent Graphviz Source output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly. PST Outlook Data encodes data using mathematical algorithms that preserve every data point. Graphviz Source prioritizes exact data preservation. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
This is a cross-category conversion from Email (PST Outlook Data) to Diagram (Graphviz Source). While these formats serve different purposes, Xonvert extracts the compatible data from your PST Outlook Data source and maps it into the Graphviz Source format. Email files typically contain Outlook email backup, while Diagram files are used for Graphviz diagrams using the .gv extension to avoid conflicts. The conversion bridges these two domains, allowing you to repurpose your content across different workflows.
