The PAGES file extension is commonly used with Apple Pages - a word processor and page layout program that is included in the iWork productivity suite for both macOS and iOS. These files typically contain text and page formatting information, and may also include images, tables, graphs, and charts. PAGES files are used for saving various types of documents, such as reports, posters, resumes, newsletters, books, certificates, or brochures, either from scratch or based on a template. Over 140 pre-built templates are offered by Apple Pages to assist users in creating these documents.
These files are XML-based and can be natively opened with Apple Pages on Mac or iOS devices. If you don't have access to Pages, you can upload the files to iCloud to view and edit them. Alternatively, you can also rename the PAGES file extension to the ZIP file extension to extract and view its contents, which may include a JPG preview and an optional PDF file.
