Summary

iStudio Publisher is Mac page-layout and desktop-publishing software for creating newsletters, brochures, flyers, booklets, reports, posters, yearbooks, and other documents. Start with a designed template or set up a blank document in any size. Layout tools include master pages, automatic page numbering, spread editing, text columns, linked text flow, and wrapping text around shapes. It supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, PSD, PDF, EPS, and AI image types. Documents can be printed or exported to PDF, text-only EPUB, or RTF; print-shop PDFs can include high-resolution images, CMYK colors, and embedded fonts. The maker lists version 1.7.5 for macOS 14 and later, including M-series chip support, and says it runs on Sonoma, Sequoia, and Tahoe. A fully functional 30-day trial allows saving, printing, and exporting without watermarks. After the trial, those actions are disabled, though existing files can still be opened and viewed. It is sold solely through the Mac App Store.

Who it is for

It suits Mac users preparing multi-page publications or print-ready files, including users who want to begin from a template or a blank page. Note that the App Store listing says Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text input is not supported.
