Guides

Convert an Apple Pages document (.pages) to PDF — no software, no upload. Drop the file and download a PDF in seconds, all in your browser.

How to use it

  1. Drop a .pages file onto the upload box — a document saved by Apple Pages 5 or later (2013 onward).
  2. Press Convert to PDF, then download document.pdf.

How it works

A .pages file is actually a zip archive, and Pages automatically saves a full-fidelity, ready-made PDF rendering of the whole document inside it (the QuickLook preview macOS uses for Spotlight/Finder previews). This tool unzips the archive and hands you that PDF directly — no conversion step, no server, no proprietary-format parser involved.

Free in your browser, private by default

The file is unzipped entirely on your device — it's never uploaded anywhere.

Why doesn't it work with every .pages file?

Only documents saved by Pages 5 or later (the format used since 2013) carry this embedded preview PDF. Files saved by the older Pages '09 format don't include one and can't be converted this way — open and re-save the file in a modern version of Pages first.

Is there an API?

Yes. The same tool is available as a developer API (POST /v1/tool/pdf-converter/pages-to-pdf) for converting Pages documents from a script or backend. Send the file as a base64 data URL; the response carries the PDF the same way. The in-browser tool on this page stays free.
