PUB Viewer & Converter

Open a Microsoft Publisher PUB file online, preview every page, and download PDF or high-resolution PNG output.

Open Microsoft Publisher PUB Files Online and Convert Them to PDF

Preview Publisher documents without installing Microsoft Publisher, then download a PDF or high-resolution PNG pages.

What This Tool Does

Upload one .pub file and the server opens it with the LibreOffice Publisher import filter in an isolated conversion environment. It creates a PDF, browser-friendly previews, and high-resolution PNG pages packaged as a ZIP.

Common Use Cases

  • Open a PUB file on macOS, Linux, mobile, or a computer without Publisher
  • Convert newsletters, flyers, brochures, labels, or business cards to PDF
  • Export individual Publisher pages as PNG images
  • Archive Publisher documents in a widely supported format

How Data Is Handled

Uploads are processed by a dedicated system account with no network access, a read-only host filesystem, and strict resource limits. Files and results are deleted automatically after 30 minutes.

FAQ

Do I need Microsoft Publisher?

No. The server uses open-source document import and rendering components.

Will the converted file look exactly the same?

Not always. Missing fonts, linked images, WordArt, color profiles, and complex layout effects can render differently.

Why is the PNG download a ZIP?

Publisher files can contain multiple pages, so each page is included as a separate PNG in one archive.

Can I edit the converted document?

This tool is intended for viewing and export. The PDF and PNG outputs are not a replacement for editing the original layout.
