Pages, Numbers and Keynote to PDF

Drop the .pages, .numbers or .key file someone sent from a Mac or an iPhone and read it as a PDF, with no Apple account and no Mac.

Your files never leave your device.

PAGES NUMBERS KEY

01 / Fast steps

  1. Drop or select your .pages, .numbers or .key files.
  2. The document preview inside is extracted automatically.
  3. Download the PDF.

02 / Best for

  • Read a document a Mac colleague sent when you only have Windows.
  • Open an assignment or a CV written in Pages without buying anything.
  • Turn a Keynote deck into a PDF you can share with anyone.

03 / Why here

  • No Apple ID, no iCloud upload and no Mac needed: the file is opened directly in your browser.
  • The extracted PDF is the same rendering Finder and Quick Look show, so the layout and fonts match the original.
  • Works on all three iWork formats with one tool.

04 / Keep in mind

  • The PDF is the preview Apple embedded, so it is not editable and its page count reflects the document as last saved on the Mac.
  • A file saved with previews disabled contains no PDF, and in that case it has to be exported from Pages, Numbers or Keynote instead.
  • Spreadsheet formulas and presenter notes are not extracted, only the visible rendering.

faq

Questions, answered.

01Why can Windows not open a .pages file?

Because it is not a document in the usual sense: it is a package, a ZIP archive holding Apple proprietary content files, and Windows has no application that reads them. Since 2013 the content inside uses IWA, an undocumented binary dialect of protocol buffers that changes between iWork releases, which is why no third-party editor supports it properly. What Apple does include is a rendered PDF preview, and that is a normal PDF anyone can read.

02Is the extracted PDF the whole document?

It is the whole document as it looked when the file was last saved on a Mac, because that is when the preview was generated. It is a faithful rendering of every page, but it is a rendering: text can be selected and copied, while formulas in Numbers, presenter notes in Keynote and any editing history stay behind in the original file.

03What if the file has no preview inside?

Then this tool cannot help, and it says so instead of producing a broken file. Apple embeds the preview only when the document was saved with previews enabled, which is the default but can be turned off. In that case the only path is exporting to PDF from Pages, Numbers or Keynote on a device that has them, including the free iCloud web versions.

04Is my document uploaded anywhere?

No. The package is unzipped inside your browser tab and the preview is written straight to your disk. The alternative most sites offer is uploading the file to a converter, which for a contract, a CV or a business deck means handing a stranger a copy of it.
