Microsoft Publisher Is Being Discontinued

Microsoft has confirmed that Publisher support ends in October 2026. After that date, Publisher will no longer receive updates or technical support, and Microsoft 365 subscribers will lose access to it. Organizations, schools, churches, nonprofits and businesses that have accumulated years of PUB files, newsletters, brochures, posters, certificates and bulletins, need a reliable conversion path before that deadline.

Microsoft's own recommended conversion script requires a licensed, installed copy of Publisher on the machine running it. Univik Publisher File Converter requires no Publisher installation at all. It converts directly from the PUB file using its own built-in rendering engine, making it the only practical option for machines where Publisher is already uninstalled.
