PUB to JPG — save Publisher pages as pictures
Turn each page of a Microsoft Publisher .pub file into a JPG picture, in your browser and without Publisher — for a website, a social post or a message.
About this conversion
A flyer or an invitation made in Publisher often needs to go somewhere a .pub cannot: a website, a Facebook post, a WhatsApp message. Here every page of the publication is drawn as Publisher laid it out and saved as a JPG at 150 dots per inch — sharp on a screen; for printing, the PDF is the better choice. A one-page publication saves as a single picture; several pages come as a zip, one picture per page.
Just want to look inside it?
The same tool without converting anything: open the file and read it.
The same file, other ways
The publication stays open after it is read, so the format is picked at the end: the same .pub can leave here as PDF, Word (.docx), PNG or TXT. Drop a whole folder and every publication in it is listed — save just the one on screen, or all of them at once as one PDF or one zip of pictures.
Questions
- JPG or PNG?
- JPG suits photos and sharing and is usually smaller. PNG keeps small text and thin lines crisper — it is under Save as.
- Can I get just one page?
- Every page is saved; with several pages they arrive in a zip, the file name followed by -page1, -page2 and so on, so the one you need is easy to pick out.
- Why does a font look different from the original?
- Publisher files do not carry their fonts — they only name them, and the computer that opens the file has to have them. Most come with Microsoft Office. A font this computer does not have is replaced with the closest one, here, in the PDF and in the pictures alike, so a line can break in a different place; the page lists the missing fonts after it opens the file. Installing them and opening the file again brings the look closer to the original.
- Is the file uploaded?
- No. The pictures are drawn by this page on your own computer.
