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.

Plain Text (TXT) is the simplest document format there is: nothing but characters, with no fonts, colours, images, or layout information of any kind. What a TXT file does carry is a character encoding — today almost always UTF-8 — which determines how the bytes map to letters. Because there is no hidden structure, TXT is the most portable and durable format available, readable on every computer ever made.
Every operating system opens TXT out of the box: Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, and gedit or nano on Linux. Web browsers display them too.
For large files or code, a proper editor such as Notepad++, Visual Studio Code, or Sublime Text is much faster and lets you change the encoding if the text appears garbled. Odd symbols usually mean the file was saved in a different encoding than the one your editor assumed. To hand a plain-text document to someone in a formatted form, use our TXT to PDF tool.
