Why convert PUB to PNG?

PUB is a proprietary OLE2 binary layout format for flyers and brochures. PNG is a lossless raster image that is universally viewable and handles sharp text and transparency better than .jpg, making it the preferred choice for posting Publisher designs on websites or in presentations.

How to convert PUB to PNG

Microsoft Publisher EASIEST

Open the .pub, go to File > Export > Save for Photo Printing, choose PNG, set the resolution (96-150 DPI for screen, 300 DPI for print), and click Save Image Set; each page saves as a separate PNG file.

LibreOffice Draw FREE

Open the .pub in LibreOffice Draw, check the rendered layout, go to File > Export, select PNG, set resolution, and click Export; repeat for each page.

Quality & what to watch

  • PNG is lossless, making it preferable to JPEG for Publisher designs with sharp text, logos, and flat-color graphics.
  • Each page exports as a separate PNG file; export to PDF instead if you need a single multi-page document.
  • Only Microsoft Publisher renders .pub files with full fidelity; LibreOffice Draw and online converters may not reproduce complex layouts or custom fonts perfectly.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use PNG or JPEG for a Publisher flyer?
PNG is the better choice for designs with sharp text and flat-color graphics because it is lossless; use JPEG only if file size is a priority.
What resolution should I set when exporting?
96-150 DPI is sufficient for screen use and social media; set 300 DPI if the image will be printed.
Can I export all pages at once in LibreOffice Draw?
LibreOffice Draw exports one page at a time by default; check whether your version offers a File > Export All Pages option.
What happens to Publisher after October 2026?
Microsoft 365 subscribers lose access to Publisher after October 2026; convert your .pub files to PNG or PDF while you still have access.
