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 PNG file?
PNG – PNG image. PNG keeps every pixel exactly as it was and supports transparency, which makes it the usual choice for screenshots, logos and graphics. Photos are much larger as PNG than as JPG.

Good to know
- A PUB file can hold several pages. PNG holds one picture, so when there is more than one page you get a ZIP with a PNG for each page.
- Only the first page of the PUB file is saved as a PNG. 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.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting PUB to PNG free?
Yes. Everyone gets 25 free credits a day, with no account needed. Conversions on our server use one credit per started minute of work, so most cost a single credit. Credits reset at midnight UTC.
Are my PUB pictures uploaded anywhere?

Up to 1 GB per file. This conversion runs on our server, which accepts files up to that size.
