Questions, answered

Is my file kept private?+

Yes. 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 PDF stays in your account for you to download anytime.

Will the conversion be perfect?+

We preserve your layout as closely as possible and give you tools to repair anything that needs fixing — fonts, images, and text boxes — right in the browser.

Do I need Microsoft Publisher installed?+

No. Everything runs in your browser. Upload your .pub file and edit the result online.

Is this only for Microsoft Publisher files?+

Publisher comes first: open your .pub files, start from a print-ready Publisher-style template, or create a brand-new document — all in your browser. As a bonus, you can also open Word, PowerPoint, PDF, and image files and fully edit them online when you need to.

Can I start from a template instead of uploading a file?+

Yes. Browse the template library, pick a Publisher-style layout, customize the text and colors, and export a print-ready PDF — no upload required.

Can I open a Word, PowerPoint, or PDF file too?+

Yes. Alongside Publisher .pub files you can open Word, PowerPoint, and PDF files (and PNG/JPG/WebP images) as an editable starting point, then edit them in your browser and export a clean PDF. Publisher is our focus; these are a convenience for the other files you already have.

Can I export a clean PDF?+

Yes. Every document exports to a clean, print-ready PDF — included on the free plan. You can keep editing online and return to your project anytime.

Is this just a viewer, or can I edit too?+

Both. You can view every page of your .pub as-is, or open it in the editor to fix text, images, or layout before exporting. The Import Report shows exactly what came across faithfully and what might need a look.
