Apple Pages
What it is
Apple Pages is a document app for writing, arranging, and designing documents. It includes Apple-designed templates for reports, resumes, posters, and digital books, and handles both word-processing and page-layout work such as newsletters. Documents can contain images, video, audio, tables, charts, and shapes. Review tools include comments, threaded conversations, and change tracking. Pages imports and edits Microsoft Word and text files, and exports to EPUB, Microsoft Word, RTF, TXT, or PDF. Collaboration is supported through iCloud or Box, and Mac users can add EndNote citations. Pages for iCloud lets users create, edit, and share documents on iCloud.com using a computer. The core app remains free for creating, editing, and collaborating; Apple Creator Studio adds premium templates, royalty-free content, and intelligence features. That subscription is $12.99 per month or $129 per year after a one-month free trial. Some intelligence features require an Apple Intelligence-capable device, and some third-party model features have usage limits and restrictions. Listed system requirements include iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15.6 or later.
