Apple Pages creates beautiful documents, but sharing them outside the Apple ecosystem is challenging. Most converters ignore Pages entirely. We built PagesToMD specifically to solve this problem—giving Mac users a reliable way to convert their Pages documents to Markdown for use anywhere.
Why Convert Pages to Markdown?
Break Free from Apple Lock-in: Pages documents only open properly on Apple devices. Markdown works everywhere—Windows, Linux, web, mobile, and every text editor ever made.
Share with Non-Apple Users: Collaborating with someone who doesn't have a Mac? Export to Markdown and they can read and edit your content with any tool.
Integrate with Development Workflows: Pages is great for writing, but developers need Markdown. Convert your drafts for GitHub, documentation sites, and knowledge bases.
Future-Proof Your Documents: Apple has changed Pages formats multiple times. Markdown is plain text—it will be readable in 50 years, guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the only Pages to Markdown converter?
Most document converters don't support Apple Pages at all. PagesToMD was specifically built to handle .pages files, making us one of the very few options available.
Do I need a Mac to convert Pages files?
No! Our converter runs in the cloud. You can upload .pages files from any device or browser and get Markdown output.
What versions of Pages are supported?
We support modern Pages documents (Pages '09 and later). Very old Pages files may need to be opened and re-saved in a current version of Pages first.
How do I get my Pages file to upload?
On Mac, your .pages file is in Finder wherever you saved it. On iCloud, you can download the file through iCloud.com or the Files app on iOS.
Why convert Pages to Markdown instead of PDF or DOCX?
Markdown is editable plain text that works with development tools, documentation platforms, and AI workflows. PDF is read-only, and DOCX requires specific software to edit properly.
