Microsoft is retiring Publisher. Your files don't have to stop working.
stillPUB is a free, browser-based replacement for Microsoft Publisher, which Microsoft retires in October 2026. It opens real .pub files and keeps text boxes, pictures, tables, and layout editable. Nothing is uploaded: it runs on your own computer.
What you can use today
A familiar Publisher-style ribbon, in the browser. Open a file, do the work, export or save. Nothing leaves your machine.
Runs on your computer, not ours

Who this is for
Churches, schools, and small groups who have years of Publisher files and a deadline they didn't pick: Microsoft retires Publisher in October 2026. stillPUB keeps those files open and editable without asking you to rebuild a decade of newsletters and bulletins from scratch.
AI agents can drive it too
Claude Desktop and Claude Code can drive stillPUB on your own machine through a local bridge, so an agent can lay out a page the same way you would by hand.
For agent builders
See stillpub.com/agents.html for how the bridge works.
stillPUB is made by Parallax Intelligence. It is free, with no paid tier.
