Extracting contacts from a PST file can be challenging if you rely on manual methods or do not have access to Outlook. PST is not a readable format for common programs, and trying to open it in other applications leads to errors. Even if you use Outlook, manually exporting each contact folder takes time and may result in missing entries or incomplete fields.

The easiest and most efficient method is to use Advik PST to VCF Converter, which is designed specifically for extracting contact information from PST files. The software works in three simple steps: add your PST file, preview and select the Contacts folder, and export it as VCF. The interface is intuitive, so even beginners can use it without difficulty.

Unlike manual approaches, the tool automatically scans the PST file and displays all the data inside it. You only need to select the desired contact folder. Once the conversion begins, it extracts full contact details, including names, office details, phone numbers, email addresses, photos, and custom fields. This ensures nothing is lost or left behind.

This method is ideal for users who want a quick, accurate, and hassle-free way to extract contacts from a PST file for further use on phones, cloud platforms, or other email clients.
