Need help?PUB to DivX Converter
A .pub file is a Microsoft Publisher document — a page-layout file holding text, graphics, and images for things like newsletters, brochures, and flyers. DivX is a video format (MPEG-4 Part 2 video in an AVI or .divx container), so this conversion is unusual: there is no video inside a Publisher document to convert. This tool renders a page of the Publisher file to a still image and wraps it in a short, silent DivX clip that simply holds that image on screen. If you actually want a readable document, convert PUB to PDF; if you want a still picture of a page, convert PUB to PNG — both keep the content far more usable than a one-frame video.
What You Actually Get
A Publisher document has no timeline and no motion, so a "video" of it is just a frozen page. The converter rasterizes the page, then encodes that single still as DivX frames for the duration you choose (5 seconds per frame by default). The result is a fixed-length clip showing the page image, with no audio track — nothing animates, scrolls, or plays. This is occasionally useful for dropping a flyer into a video timeline or a slideshow render, but for reading or sharing the document itself, a PDF or page image is almost always the better choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the DivX file have sound or any animation?
No. The conversion produces a silent clip that holds a still image of the page — there is no audio track and nothing moves. A Publisher document has no timeline or media to play back, so the output is a static page frozen on screen for the duration you set.
Should I convert PUB to DivX, or is another format better?
For almost every real use case, another format is better. If you want to read or share the document, convert PUB to PDF — it keeps every page selectable and printable. If you just need a picture of a page, convert PUB to PNG or PUB to JPG. Choose DivX only when you specifically need a video clip of a page to drop into a video timeline or slideshow render.
Does the whole multi-page Publisher document become one video?
The tool renders the page as a still image and encodes it as a fixed-length frame. For multi-page documents, a PDF preserves all pages in a readable, navigable file, whereas a single silent video flattens the layout into one frozen frame. In our testing, a single Publisher page converted cleanly to a static DivX clip at the chosen duration, but the result is only as useful as a frozen screenshot — not a document.
What is DivX and where does it play?
DivX is a lossy video format based on MPEG-4 Part 2 (Advanced Simple Profile), usually stored in an AVI or .divx container. It plays in VLC, MPC-HC, and DivX-certified hardware players. Because the codec is built for video, it is a poor fit for static documents, which is why a frozen page renders to a clip with no motion.
Microsoft is retiring Publisher — what should I do with my .pub files?
Microsoft has announced that Publisher will be retired in October 2026. To keep your content usable afterward, export or convert each .pub file to PDF for a faithful, readable copy of the whole document, or to PNG/JPG for page images. A DivX clip is not a sensible archival format for a document, so use it only for a specific video-editing need.
Is the conversion private and free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark. Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically after a few hours — it is never shared or made public.
