Desktop publishing in your browser. Print-ready from the first page.

Bulletins, flyers, newsletters, programs and booklets — laid out like a desktop-publishing app, with linked text boxes, styles and master pages, then exported as a print-ready PDF. Nothing to install, and everything saves as you go.

A 40-second tour of PublishStudio.

Start from a layout, turn the pages, select anything on them, and find every tool on the ribbon.

Seven more short demos — text and styles, tables, linked text boxes, master pages and print export — on our YouTube channel.

Print pieces still get made the hard way.

Microsoft Publisher is being retired in October 2026. Churches, schools, clubs and small offices have years of bulletins and newsletters built in it — and need somewhere to go next.

The alternatives miss the middle. Word fights you the moment text needs to flow between columns or pages. Design tools are built for social posts, not an eight-page booklet with page numbers. Professional layout software is more than most teams need — or can afford.

Key features

Everything a print piece needs — and nothing it doesn't.

Start from 25 ready-made layouts.

Bulletins, programs, flyers, newsletters, menus, cards and more — built with real text boxes and styles, so every word is yours to change. Or start from a blank page in any size.

Linked text boxes flowing between columns

Text that flows from box to box.

Too much for one column? Continue it in another box — on the same page or the next — and the text flows between them as you edit. Wrap text around pictures and shapes.

Styles, so a change happens once.

Headings, body text and captions are styles. Change a style's font, size or colour and every paragraph that uses it follows — across every page.

Master pages and page numbers.

Put the page number, header and footer on a master page once; every page that uses it shows them, numbered automatically. Eight-page booklets stop being a chore.

Check it, then print it.

The Design Checker catches text that doesn't fit its box before it reaches the printer. Find and replace across every page. Then export a print-ready PDF — or a folded booklet, with the pages already in printing order.

What makes PublishStudio different

Real layout tools, without the desktop install.

A familiar ribbon. Home, Insert, Page Design, Review and View — if you've used Publisher, you already know your way around.

Bring your Word documents. Drop in a .docx and its text, headings and paragraph styles come in as a new publication.

Tables, shapes and pictures. Insert tables you fill in with Tab, rounded rectangles, ovals and lines, and send things behind or in front.

Saves as you go. Every change is kept automatically, with Undo and Redo always at the top — and a save point whenever you want one.

Print-ready output. Exact page sizes, margins and bleed, exported as PDF or as a booklet ready to fold.

Part of Webend Creator. Your publications live with the rest of your workspace, with the same sign-in, people and permissions.
