Megal Publisher
What it is
Megal Publisher is a web-based desktop-publishing application for making page layouts and saving editable projects in .mpub format. Its editor handles multiple pages, text, images, shapes, tables, master pages, text wrapping and precise object arrangement. Supported Microsoft Publisher files can be rebuilt as editable Megal objects, although fonts and complex effects may need correction. It also imports macro-free Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, with a 25 MB maximum file size listed in the manual. The app advertises more than 9,000 templates. Mail Merge accepts Excel, CSV or TSV recipient lists. Output options include print, PDF, SVG and finished-page images in PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP or GIF. The Free plan allows creating and editing publications, opening supported .pub files and saving projects, but printing, PDF creation, export and download require Professional. Professional costs $5.99 a month or $59.99 a year. The maker says files are stored locally unless account autosave is used.
