Apple Pages Document (PAGES) is the native format of Apple Pages, the word processor Apple ships with macOS, iOS, and iCloud. A PAGES file is actually a package containing the text, images, fonts, and layout data together. It supports both word-processing and page-layout modes, which is why Pages is used for newsletters, posters, and reports as well as ordinary letters.
On a Mac, iPhone, or iPad, double-click the file and Pages opens it. On Windows or Android, sign in to iCloud.com with an Apple ID and open the document in the browser version of Pages.
Other applications generally cannot read the format, so the practical solution is to ask the sender to export the document as DOCX or PDF from the Pages File → Export To menu. Google Docs and Microsoft Word both handle those formats without difficulty. You can also convert the file with our PAGES to PDF tool.

A TEXT file is an ordinary plain-text document, the same thing as a .txt file — unformatted characters with no styling, images, or layout attached. Everything the file contains is readable as-is, which is why plain text is used for notes, logs, configuration files, source code, and data exports. The only piece of hidden information is the character encoding, typically UTF-8, which tells software how to turn the stored bytes back into letters.
Any text editor will do. Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, and gedit on Linux all open the file instantly, and so does every web browser.
If the document is very large or contains code, Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code handle it far more comfortably and let you switch encodings when characters display incorrectly. Word processors such as Microsoft Word and LibreOffice Writer can import the text if you want to add formatting. You can also convert the file with our TXT to PDF tool.
