A flyer or poster made in Publisher often needs to become a picture: for a Facebook post, a
website, a WhatsApp message or a print shop that asks for image files. This turns every page of a
.pub file into a JPG or PNG picture, without Publisher.
How to convert Publisher to JPG
- Add the
.pubfile (or several, or a ZIP of folders). - Convert to is already set to JPG. Choose PNG instead for sharp text and flat colours, for example a logo or a sign.
- Pick the resolution and convert. A one-page flyer comes back as
Flyer.jpg; longer publications asNewsletter - page 1.jpg,Newsletter - page 2.jpgand so on, in one ZIP.
Which resolution to choose
| Resolution | A4 page in pixels | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 96 dpi | 794 × 1123 | Screens, e-mails, quick previews |
| 150 dpi | 1241 × 1754 | Websites and social media |
| 300 dpi | 2481 × 3508 | Printing at home or at a print shop |
| 600 dpi | 4961 × 7016 | Large prints; big files |
A US Letter page is slightly wider and shorter (at 150 dpi, 1275 × 1650 pixels). Very large pages, such as banners, are made at a lower resolution so each picture stays under 50 megapixels; the report then says which resolution was used.
JPG or PNG
JPG files are small and suit pages with photos. PNG keeps text edges crisp and is lossless, but larger. Both have a white background, like the paper. After converting, the pictures can be sent straight to the image tools on this site, to crop, resize or compress them further.
Before you share them
Fonts that are not available here are replaced, and some replacements are wider or narrower than the original, so a line can wrap differently. The report lists every font; if a page matters, compare it with the original once.
