How to Convert Apple Pages to Word DOCX

Pages (.pages) is Apple's word processor format. To share with Windows users, edit in Microsoft 365 or Google Docs, or use the document in any non-Apple workflow, you need to convert to DOCX. Pages handles this export with high fidelity — preserving formatting, tables, images, and styles.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Open the file in Pages

    Double-click your .pages file. On iPhone/iPad, tap the file in Files app. Pages opens with the full document layout visible.

    Go to converter
  2. 2

    Export to Word

    Mac: File → Export To → Word → .docx. iOS: tap the three-dot menu → Export → Word. The export preserves fonts (where possible), styles, tables, and images.

  3. 3

    Save and share

    The DOCX file opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, and any modern word processor. Share via email or upload to OneDrive/Google Drive.

Frequently asked questions

Will tables and images transfer correctly?
Yes for standard tables and images. Pages-specific layout features (custom alignment guides, advanced text wrap) may simplify in DOCX. Review the Word version after conversion to catch any layout shifts.
Can I convert without a Mac?
Use iCloud.com → Pages → upload your .pages file → File → Download a Copy → Word. Works in any browser, on any OS, with just an Apple ID. No Mac needed.
Will Track Changes survive?
Yes — Pages and Word both support change tracking, and the metadata transfers via DOCX. Comments, suggestions, and revision history are preserved.
