Publisher retired Oct 1, 2026

Microsoft Publisher is gone.
Your files don't have to be.

Since October 1, 2026, Microsoft 365 no longer includes Publisher — and nothing else Microsoft makes opens a .pub file. Decades of newsletters, flyers, menus and certificates, stranded. We convert your whole archive back into files you can read, print, and keep editing.

Rescue your archive

Zip up your .pub files (folders inside are fine) or pick them individually. You'll see the exact price before you pay.

1Upload Drop in a zip of your .pub files — 5 or 500 of them.
2Pay once One flat price for the batch. No subscription, no account.
3Download A PDF and an editable copy of every file, plus a per-file report.

What you get back

For every Publisher file: a PDF (read, print, share) and an ODG you can keep editing in LibreOffice Draw — free software that isn't going anywhere. Plus a rescue report showing exactly what converted, file by file.

Honesty first: this is an editable rescue, not a pixel-perfect clone. Layouts, images and fonts come through; the report flags anything that doesn't.

Pricing

Up to 25 files$19
26 – 250 files$49
251 – 2,000 files$149

The rescue works or you don't pay for it — how refunds work.

Questions

Is my stuff private?

Yes. No accounts, no mailing list. Your originals are deleted from the server as soon as conversion finishes, and your rescued files are deleted 7 days after that. Download the zip and it's yours alone.

Will everything look identical?

Most documents come through with layout, images and fonts intact. Complex layouts can have small quirks — the per-file report tells you exactly where to look, so nothing fails silently.

What if some files fail, or the rescue isn't any good?

Then you don't pay for it. Genuinely corrupted files turn up in every old archive, and the report lists every one of them.

If fewer than 80% of your valid Publisher files fully rescue, email us with your order number and we'll refund you in full. Your report shows the number, so there's nothing to argue about.

And if the rescue simply isn't useful to you, tell us within 30 days and we'll refund you anyway. We would rather hear about it than have you regret the purchase.

That is on top of your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, which we can't limit and don't try to.

Can't I just do this myself?

One file at a time, sure — install LibreOffice and open each .pub by hand. We're for the moment you're staring at a folder with 300 of them: batch conversion, corrupted-file handling, both formats, and a report.
