Need help?How to Convert PUB to JPEG
- Upload Your PUB File — Click "Choose Files" or drag and drop your Microsoft Publisher (.pub) file. Only PUB files are accepted as input.
- Set Image Quality — Under Image Compression, choose a Quality Preset (Highest, Very High, High, Medium, Low). "Very High" is the default and recommended for most documents. For smaller file sizes, select "Medium" or "Low". You can also set a specific file size in MB/KB.
- Adjust Resolution (Optional) — Under Image Resolution, keep the original resolution or choose a preset (1080p, 768p, 480p, etc.), set a custom width or height in pixels or percentage, or specify exact Width × Height dimensions.
- Choose File Extension — Under File Extension, select JPEG or JPG as your output format (both produce identical files).
- Convert & Download — Click "Convert" and download your JPEG image. Batch convert multiple PUB files at once.
Why Convert PUB to JPEG?
Microsoft Publisher (.pub) files can only be opened reliably in Microsoft Publisher on Windows. This makes sharing PUB files difficult — recipients on Mac, Linux, or mobile devices cannot view them without specialized software. Converting PUB to JPEG creates a universally viewable image that works on every device, browser, and operating system. Common reasons to convert include sharing flyers or brochures via email, posting newsletter designs on social media, creating image previews of marketing materials, and archiving Publisher documents in a portable format.

Resolution Guide for PUB Conversion
| Use Case | Recommended Resolution | Quality Preset |

| Social media sharing | 768p or 1080p | High or Very High |

Can I convert multi-page PUB files?
Yes. If your PUB file contains multiple pages, each page is converted to a separate JPEG image. You can download all pages at once. This is useful for converting multi-page newsletters or brochures into individual images.
What quality setting should I use for printing?
For print-quality output, use the "Highest" or "Very High" quality preset and keep the original resolution or select 1080p or higher. This preserves text sharpness and image detail. For web or email use, "High" or "Medium" is sufficient and produces smaller files.
Do I need Microsoft Publisher installed?
No. This online converter processes PUB files directly in the cloud without requiring Microsoft Publisher on your computer. Upload your .pub file and get a JPEG output regardless of your operating system.
What is the difference between JPEG and JPG?
JPEG and JPG are the same format — the only difference is the file extension. Older Windows systems used the 3-character .jpg extension, while .jpeg is the full name. Under File Extension, you can choose either one. The output image is identical.
Will text in my PUB file remain sharp?
Text sharpness depends on the resolution and quality settings you choose. At "Very High" quality with the original resolution preserved, text renders clearly. Lowering the resolution or quality may introduce blurriness, especially for small text. For documents with fine text, use "Highest" quality.
