Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert .pub to PDF without Microsoft Publisher?

Yes! PubConvert reads Publisher files directly in your browser. You don't need Publisher or any other Microsoft software installed.

Is it safe to convert my files?

Absolutely. Your files are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to any server. Your documents remain completely private.

What versions of Publisher are supported?

PubConvert supports Publisher files (.pub) from Publisher 2003 and later, including 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019.

How much does it cost?

You can preview any file for free. Converting a file costs one credit and unlocks all format downloads (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, HTML). Credits start at $4.99 for a single conversion.

Can I re-download my converted file later?

Yes! After converting a file, it is saved locally in your browser. You can re-download it in any format from your dashboard at no extra cost. However, clearing your browser data or using a different device will require a new conversion credit, since files are stored only in your browser and never on our servers.

Why are some backgrounds or clip art missing from my converted file?

Files created from Publisher's built-in templates may reference design elements (backgrounds, clip art, decorative graphics) that are stored in Publisher's template gallery on your computer, not inside the .pub file itself. These assets are proprietary to Microsoft and cannot be extracted by any third-party converter, including LibreOffice. The text content and layout of your document will still convert correctly.
