# re: Personal Folder (PST) Repair Tool in Outlook

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this information. But I want to add one more aspect of Scanpst.exe utility that this only repairs files which have the size of upto 2 GB. So for repairing the files are larger than 2 GB one can use a third party tool.

Regards

Jane
