Quillpage for Mac
Write, edit and share Word files on your Mac. Work on them together in real time, with calls and chat built in. Pay once, and it’s yours for good.
Free for 7 days, then £19.99 once · Cloud sharing from £2.99 a month · macOS 12 or later
Word compatible
Styles, tables, pictures, headers, footnotes, tracked changes and comments come through intact when you open a Word file, and again when you send it back.
Lifetime licence
£19.99
Once, after a 7-day free trial. Not per month, not per year. Every update included.
Up to 5 people at once, with names on every cursor, with Quillpage Cloud. Guests join free.
Voice, video and screen sharing, right inside the document. No meeting link needed.
CVs, letters, emails, essays, project plans, invoices and more.
Offline and private
Documents on your Mac stay on your Mac. Shared documents are encrypted on their way to the cloud and while they’re stored, and changes you make offline catch up as soon as you reconnect.
Open a PDF and Quillpage rebuilds it as a document you can change.
Work together
Share a document and everyone sees each other’s changes as they type, with a name on every cursor. Chat beside the page, and start a voice or video call without leaving it. People you invite join free, from Quillpage for Mac or any web browser.
Sharing is part of Quillpage Cloud, £2.99 a month or £29.99 a year, and it’s included in your free trial.
See who’s where, and watch edits appear as they happen.
Messages are saved with the document, for everyone who opens it.
Talk it through face to face, with up to 5 people.
Go back to any earlier version and restore it in one click.
PDF editing
Open any PDF that contains text. Quillpage reads the layout and rebuilds it as a real document: headings stay headings, lists stay lists, tables become tables and running headers move into the header. Make your changes, then save it as a Word file or export a fresh PDF. The original is never touched.
Templates
More than 170 templates for CVs, cover letters, emails, essays, reports, project plans, invoices, lesson plans and more. Every one is a real Word document you can make your own.
Review
Every edit is recorded with your name and the time. Reply to comments, resolve threads, and accept or reject changes one at a time or all at once. Compare two versions of a document to see exactly what changed.
Real pages
Quillpage lays out your writing on real pages as you type. Text flows across page breaks, headings stay with the paragraph that follows, and footnotes sit at the foot of the page.
See every difference between two versions as tracked changes.
Hear your writing, to catch what your eyes skip.
Sign with your trackpad, or type your name, and drop it in.
Built from your headings, with page numbers kept up to date.
PDF, Word, RTF, OpenDocument, Markdown, HTML and plain text.
Match case or whole words. Replace one, or all at once.
Unsaved changes are kept safe and restored after a crash.
Follows your Mac, or pick a look. Focus mode hides everything but the page.
A searchable font menu that previews each typeface.
Uses your Mac’s own dictionary, with suggestions on right-click.
Jump to any heading in a long document.
The shortcuts you know, trackpad zoom, Apple Silicon and Intel.

Yes. A free Quillpage account holds your licence, so you can sign in on any of your Macs, and it’s what lets you share documents. It isn’t a Microsoft or Apple account, and your documents on your Mac stay on your Mac.
No. Only the person who shares a document needs Quillpage Cloud. Anyone you invite can open and edit it free, in Quillpage for Mac or in any web browser on any computer.
Up to 5 people at the same time, each with their own named cursor. You can share a document with as many people as you like; they take turns if it’s full.

No. Quillpage reads and writes Word files itself, and the files it saves open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs and Apple Pages, including tracked changes, comments and footnotes.
Yes. Open a PDF and Quillpage converts it into an editable document, the same way Word does. Scanned PDFs are pictures of pages rather than real text, so they can’t be converted; Quillpage tells you when that’s the case.
Yes. Everything on your Mac works offline. Shared documents keep working too, and your changes sync as soon as you’re back online.
Any Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later) or an Intel processor, running macOS 12 Monterey or newer. Your licence works on up to 3 Macs signed in to your account.
