Apple Pages maintains the complete dynamic range. Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the Apple Pages format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in Apple Pages are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality OST Offline Outlook input produces an excellent Apple Pages output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly.
