How the product works
What Megal Publisher does
Keeps your Publisher work moving
Open your .pub file, select its text and pictures, and update the layout for your next edition. Megal's own import engine works directly with the original file.
Creates page layouts
Design flyers, brochures, newsletters, cards and other publications with positioned text, images, shapes, tables and multiple pages.
Saves editable projects
The .mpub format keeps a Megal publication editable. Professional printing and export let you share the finished edition.

Changing Professional Monthly to Yearly charges £59.99 immediately after PayPal approval, preserves the current paid month and appends the 12-month term after it. Changing Yearly to Monthly takes effect and first charges £5.99 at the existing Yearly next billing or expiry date. Cancelling stops the next renewal; paid access continues through the paid period and unused time is not refunded.
Extra AI Credits are a separate PayPal subscription, available monthly or yearly. Yearly Extra AI costs 10 monthly payments for 12 months, with credits still refreshed monthly. An AI billing conversion is offered alongside a Professional change only when the customer already has an active Extra AI subscription, and it requires a separate PayPal approval. Customers without an Extra AI subscription are not offered or enrolled in one.
Prices shown in GBP, including VAT. The published Professional prices were rechecked against the app configuration on 5 October 2026. Confirm current pricing and plan details inside the app before subscribing.
Straight answers
Megal Publisher facts
Is Megal Publisher genuine software?
Yes. It is a working browser-based desktop-publishing application developed by Megal Software Limited, an active company registered in the United Kingdom under number 17078983.
Is Megal Publisher the same as Microsoft Publisher?
No. It is an independent alternative. It is not a Microsoft product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft.
Does Megal Publisher open .pub files?
Yes. Open your .pub file, edit text, pictures and layout objects, and save ongoing work as an editable .mpub project.
What should I know about PUB compatibility?
Font availability and some older Publisher effects can affect imported layouts. Missing fonts may change line breaks, and complex WordArt, groups or proprietary features may need adjustment. Keep your original .pub file and compare important publications with an original PDF or printout before final output. Megal saves editable projects as .mpub rather than writing a new Microsoft .pub file.
Does it require Microsoft Publisher?
No. Megal Publisher uses its own import engine to open .pub files without Microsoft Publisher running in the background.
