Questions, answered
Is this a Microsoft Publisher alternative?+
Yes. You can open old Microsoft Publisher (.pub) files and create new print-ready documents — flyers, menus, newsletters, programs, certificates, and business documents — Publisher-style, right in your browser.
What documents can I create?+
Flyers, business flyers, restaurant menus, church bulletins, funeral programs, celebration-of-life programs, newsletters, certificates, invitations, postcards, price sheets, raffle tickets, gift certificates, name tags, event tickets, ID cards — and more. All Publisher-style, all printable as PDF.
Can I create documents without uploading a .pub?+
Yes. Start from a template or a blank page, edit it in your browser, and export a clean PDF — no .pub file needed.
Can I edit the text in an imported PDF?+
Often, yes. Import a PDF and choose 'Make text editable' — we recover editable text and pictures where possible and keep the original page as a faint reference. It's a reconstruction, not Acrobat-style editing, so complex layouts won't be perfect, and you can undo it anytime.
Is this only for Microsoft Publisher files?+
Publisher comes first — open your .pub files or create brand-new documents. As a bonus, you can also open Word, PowerPoint, and PDF files and fully edit them online when you need to.
Do I need Microsoft Publisher installed?+
No. Publish Media Software runs entirely in your web browser. There is nothing to install.
Will every Publisher file convert perfectly?+
No converter can promise that. Most files open cleanly; very complex layouts can shift, which is why every conversion comes with a Import Report that flags fonts, images, and layout changes in plain English — so you can fix them before printing.
Can I export a PDF?+
Yes. Export a clean, print-ready PDF anytime — from an opened Publisher file or a brand-new document.
What file types can I import?+
Microsoft Publisher .pub files first — plus Word, PowerPoint, PDF, and PNG/JPG/WebP images. All open as editable documents you can customize and export as PDF.
What happens to my original files?+
Your uploaded .pub file is automatically deleted within 2 hours of processing — encrypted in transit, never shared, and never used for public templates. The converted copy stays in your account for you to download and keep editing — for 7 days on the Free plan (we email a reminder before anything is removed), and for as long as your account is active on paid plans.
Is it free to try?+
Yes. The free plan lets you import and view your Publisher and Office files — files are stored for 7 days. All-Access ($99/year, or $9.99/month cancel-anytime) unlocks full editing, every template, and unlimited storage.
Is Publish Media Software made by Microsoft?+
No. Publish Media Software is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft. 'Microsoft' and 'Microsoft Publisher' are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.
