If you're upgrading Outlook from an older to a newer version, you must convert ANSI PST to Unicode. ANSI PST file is supported by Outlook 97 to Outlook 2002. The PST file saved in ANSI format has a 2 GB size limitation. To avoid this size limit and get more free space to store large mailboxes, Outlook users want to upgrade their Outlook clients. Hence, try the SysInfo PST upgrade Tool and upgrade PST files from ANSI to Unicode format to increase the size limitation.
If you're downgrading Outlook from a newer to an older version, you must convert Unicode to ANSI PST. Unicode PST files are supported by Outlook 2003 and later versions. PST files saved in Unicode format have a size limitation of 20 to 50 GB, which is significant. But sometimes, users need to downgrade their Outlook client for reasons like you can't open a Unicode PST file in any older version of Outlook or open a Unicode PST file in Outlook 2002 or any earlier version.
Both Unicode and ANSI PST files are a part of Outlook versions. Still, in some cases, Unicode PST file is a better option for Outlook users as it provides enough storage space for storing mailbox data, whereas ANSI is limited to 2 GB Only. Moreover, there are more chances of Corruption in the ANSI PST file as it has a maximum size limit of 2 GB which is significantly more minor. Use the SysInfo PST Upgrade and Downgrade Tool and easily convert ANSI PST to Unicode PST Files.
The Software has been smartly designed to upgrade Outlook clients to the latest Outlook version from any old version. It can easily convert Outlook files saved in ANSI PST format into Unicode PST format. By upgrading Outlook, you can increase the mailbox size limitation of PST files from 2 GB to 20 GB.
Another function of this software is to downgrade Outlook clients from the latest version to an older one. Older versions support the ANSI format, while New versions support the Unicode format. Switching back to an older version, i.e. 2002 or earlier, needs an Outlook downgrade, and this tool will help you do that.

This SysInfo PST Upgrade & Downgrade Tool has an advanced feature that allows users to perform batch conversion of selected multiple PST files simultaneously in just a single click.

Users can add new PST files to their Outlook profile directly from the software; no need to add them manually. Before starting the actual PST conversion process, you need to check to Add a new PST file(s) in the Outlook profile box. You can also use our Add Outlook PST Software for multiple PST files addition.
If you want to exclude the deleted items from the output PST files, check the "exclude deleted items" box in the software wizard before starting the PST conversion process, either Unicode to ANSI or ANSI to Unicode. This feature will not save the deleted items of your old PST files into a new file(s).
Users can remove duplicate items from their outlook PST files to make them handy and compact using this software. Before the software can perform the actual PST upgrading or downgrading process, you can check the Remove Duplicates in the Outlook PST file(s) box.
