Set the movie and image formats for Pages documents on iPad
Pages keeps movies and images in their original format, regardless of whether or not the format can be viewed on older computers and devices. You can change the optimisation settings if you want to make sure videos and images using newer formats — for example, High Efficiency Video Encoding (HEVC), High Efficiency Image Codec (HEIC) or Apple ProRes — can be viewed on any computer or device.
Optimise video and image formats
When you add HEVC, HEIC and ProRes media files to your document, Pages can convert them into H.264, JPEG and PNG so they can be viewed on older Mac, iPhone and iPad devices.
Go to the Pages app on your iPad.
Open a document, tap , scroll down, then tap Settings.
Turn on Optimise Media for Older Devices.
This setting applies only to movies and images you add from now on, and not to any existing media in your documents.
