What is a PUB file?
PUB – Microsoft Publisher document. PUB is the file of Microsoft Publisher, used for flyers, newsletters and brochures. Only Publisher itself opens it well; converting gives a picture or PDF anyone can open.
PUB Converter →What is a BMP file?
BMP – Bitmap image. BMP is the plain bitmap format of Windows. It usually stores every pixel without compression, so files are large, but every program can read them.

Good to know
- BMP does not keep transparency here, so transparent areas become white.
- A PUB file can hold several pages. BMP holds one picture, so when there is more than one page you get a ZIP with a BMP for each page.
- Only the first page of the PUB file is saved as a BMP. Choose PDF to keep every page.
- The file is opened by LibreOffice, so fonts it lacks are replaced and the page may look a little different from the original program.
