What is a PAGES file?
A PAGES file is a proprietary document format created by the Apple Pages word processing application, part of the iWork productivity suite. The internal structure has evolved significantly; early versions used a ZIP-compressed bundle containing an XML index, while versions released after iWork '13 utilize a proprietary binary format (often involving Protobuf) and Snappy compression. The format encapsulates rich text, layout specifications, and image assets, strictly tied to the macOS and iOS rendering engines.
How to open a PAGES file
The format is natively supported only by Apple Pages on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. Users on Windows or Linux cannot open the file directly; they must utilize iCloud.com in a web browser to view and edit the document, or use the 'Export' function within the Pages application to convert the file to an interoperable format like PDF or DOCX.

What is a DOCX file?
The DOCX format is the default document standard for Microsoft Word 2007 and newer, based on the Office Open XML (OOXML) specification standardized under ISO/IEC 29500 and ECMA-376. It functions as a compressed ZIP container that packages separate XML files (such as document.xml, styles.xml, and settings.xml) alongside media assets. This modular XML architecture allows for improved data recovery and smaller file sizes compared to legacy binary DOC files, while explicitly prohibiting the storage of VBA macros.
How to open a DOCX file
DOCX is natively supported by Microsoft Word 2007+ on Windows and macOS. Due to its status as an ISO standard, it has broad compatibility with non-Microsoft ecosystem tools; it can be opened and edited by Apple Pages, Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, and Apache OpenOffice. Furthermore, because it is a ZIP archive, users can rename the extension to .zip to extract and inspect the internal XML structure and embedded media assets manually.
