Microsoft Publisher retires in October 2026 and Word can't open .pub files. PUB Rescue recovers the text and pictures from any Publisher file and converts them to PDF, Word, text, and standard images — right here, without uploading anything.
Drop your .pub files here
or click to browse — select many files at once for batch conversion
Unlike web converters, nothing is uploaded. Parsing runs inside your browser, so it works offline and your church newsletters, invoices, and flyers stay on your computer.
Export to PDF for a readable copy, Word (.docx) to keep editing, plain text for the words, or a ZIP of every embedded photo and logo.
Drop a whole folder of old newsletters and convert them all to PDF in one ZIP — the job to finish before October.
PUB Rescue recovers content (text and images) from Publisher 98 through Publisher 2021 files. It does not reproduce the exact page layout of complex designs — you get your words and pictures back in formats that will keep opening.
Recovered text followed by each image on its own page. The #1 way to keep a readable copy.
Editable document with the recovered text and images — re-lay it out in Word.
Just the words, as a .txt file.
Every embedded photo and graphic as standard image files.
Convert 0 loaded file(s) to PDF in one go — perfect for rescuing a whole folder of old newsletters before October.
