SysTools PST Repair is a Windows desktop utility for repairing corrupted or inaccessible Outlook PST and Outlook BAK files. It is aimed at people who need to recover mailbox content, inspect repaired items before export, or move recovered data into formats such as PST, PDF, EML, MSG, HTML, or Office 365. Support includes Windows 11, Windows 10, and earlier Windows versions, along with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Office 365 compatibility. The software supports both ANSI and Unicode PST files.

Its repair workflow covers quick and advanced PST scanning modes, batch processing for multiple PST files, and previews in multiple views. Users can sort and filter repaired data before export, restore deleted Outlook data items, and remove S/MIME or OpenPGP email encryption. It also repairs Outlook BAK files, giving it a wider recovery scope than a tool limited to standard PST files. The local Windows delivery suits users who need desktop-based repair rather than a browser service.

The published one-time pricing has three license options: Personal License at $49, Business License at $199, and Enterprise License at $499. Each listed plan includes corrupted PST repair, recovered-data previews, Windows support, and export to PST, EML, and HTML. There is no free plan. SysTools PST Repair is a practical choice for Outlook-focused recovery on Windows, particularly when batch repair, deleted-data recovery, encryption removal, or multiple export formats matter. Users working outside Windows or needing repair beyond PST and Outlook BAK files should choose a different category fit.
