PDF Page Counter

Print shops, translators, legal teams and teachers often need the total page count of a whole folder of PDFs — to quote a job, check a submission limit or plan paper. Opening every file one by one is slow. This counter reads all the files you select at once, lists pages, file size and the main page size of each, and adds them up. It can also count sheets for double-sided printing and multiply by a price per page.

How to use this tool

1. Select or drop all the PDF files (hundreds are fine).
2. Optionally enter a price per printed page to get a total cost.
3. Tick double-sided if you want the number of sheets of paper.
4. Read the totals, or copy the CSV list into a spreadsheet.

Formula

Total pages = Σ pages per file · Sheets (double-sided) = Σ ⌈pages ÷ 2⌉ · Cost = total pages × price per page

Sheets are rounded up per file because every document starts on a new sheet. The main page size is the size used by most pages of a file, measured from the visible page area and matched to standard sizes (A and B series, Letter, Legal, Tabloid and others) within 2 mm.

Example

Three files with 12, 7 and 30 pages give 49 pages. Printed double-sided they need 6 + 4 + 15 = 25 sheets. At 0.08 per page the print cost is 49 × 0.08 = 3.92.
