Preserve the files you need.
Rebuild only what you use.
Your free file review
A practical recommendation, not an automated conversion.
We examine one representative Publisher file and determine the safest and most practical way to preserve or replace it.
Archive or rebuild
Whether the file only needs to be preserved or should remain editable.
Potential migration issues
Any likely problems involving fonts, images, page layout or recurring content.
Clear next step
A fixed-price proposal if you would like us to migrate the file or a larger Publisher library.
The review is free even if you decide not to proceed.
How it works
Start small. Decide with confidence.
You don’t need to plan the whole migration yourself. One representative file is enough to begin.
Send one representative file
Upload one `.pub` file and briefly tell us how your organization uses it.
Receive your recommendation
We review the document and recommend the right approach: PDF archive, editable reconstruction, or a combination of both.
Migrate what matters
If you choose to proceed, we can archive older documents in batches and rebuild the templates you still need to edit.
Most free reviews are returned within 1–2 business days.
Publisher files, handled thoughtfully
What we can migrate
From one weekly template to a long-running document library, we help preserve both the content and the way your team works.

Archive or rebuild
You probably don’t need to rebuild everything.
Older Publisher documents can often be preserved as PDFs, while only the publications and templates you still update need to be reconstructed in a modern editable format.
This keeps the migration smaller, faster and more affordable.

Questions, answered plainly
Before you send a file
Still unsure where to start? That’s exactly what the free review is for.
Review a file for free ↑Is this an automatic file converter?+
No. Automated conversion may work for simple documents, but editable layouts often require review and reconstruction. PubMigrate recommends the right treatment for each type of file.
Do I need to migrate every Publisher file?+
Usually not. Older documents can often be archived as PDFs, while only the templates you still update need to be rebuilt.
Which format should replace Publisher?+
It depends on the document and who needs to edit it. We may recommend Word, PowerPoint, Canva, Affinity or another suitable format as part of the free review.
Can you migrate a large folder of Publisher files?+
Yes. After reviewing a representative file, we can recommend a batch-archiving and template-reconstruction plan for larger libraries.
Is PubMigrate affiliated with Microsoft?+
No. PubMigrate is an independent migration service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft.
Not sure what to do with your Publisher files?
Start with one representative document. We’ll tell you what should be preserved, what should remain editable and the best way to migrate it.
