Bug Title

Where did these images are coming from?

Subtitle / Tagline

Why a small file size, when you have enough storage for useless images

Description

For a huge long while now, when you open a ooXML (MS Office) document in Pages, Numbers, or Keynote and save it in the native format of Pages, Numbery, or Keynote, a number of images would be added and the file size would increase. None of the images was part of the original document.

This bug used to be worse: Pages would add images to newly created documents, too.

Affected Platforms

  • macOS
  • iOS
  • iPadOS
  • visionOS
  • watchOS

Earliest Known Report

No response

Approximately how long has this been unfixed?

~10 years in variants

Common Workarounds

Convert the document in RTF or CSV or Plain Text, after which you can convert it to Pages & Co without getting weird images.

Evidence / Links

A Pages & Co file is just a simple zip archive (you can also store it as bundle), in which there is a folder called Data, where you can find the images.
