I have an old PST file that contains my email contacts, but Microsoft Outlook is not installed on my current system. I only need to extract the contacts from the PST file. Is there any reliable way or tool that allows me to open the PST file and export contacts without requiring Outlook installation?

Even if Outlook is not installed, you still require PST files from backups, office systems, and past jobs. The main problem is that you can't read these PST files on any device, and your contacts stay locked inside Outlook. It could be challenging because Outlook is costly, requires a license, and takes time to install.

Some people try manual methods, but these are complex and risky. You need technical skills to use the manual method. Online tools are another option, but they require uploading PST files to the internet, which is not safe for personal or business contacts.
