PubStudio - Open your .pub files and keep publishing
by•
Microsoft Publisher retired this month. PubStudio is a Windows app that opens your Publisher files so you can keep editing and printing flyers, newsletters, cards and labels, with a ribbon that feels familiar. Free to use, with 7 days of Pro to try.

Hey everyone! I made PubStudio because Microsoft retired Publisher this month, and a lot of people have years of work in .pub files with nothing to open them in. Churches, schools, clubs, small businesses, and plenty of folks who just make the family newsletter.
PubStudio opens those files (Publisher 98 right up to 365) and lets you carry on where you left off. It looks and works a lot like what you're used to, so there's not much to relearn. There are 100+ templates, labels and booklets print properly, and it all stays on your PC with no account.
The free version opens, edits, prints and saves anything. Pro adds clean PDFs, mail merge, the Brand Kit, QR codes and the full template library, and every new install gets a week of Pro to try it.
If one of your files doesn't come out right, there's a button in the app to send it to me, and I'd genuinely love to fix it. Thanks for taking a look!
