Exact
Counted directly from the file. PDF pages, TIFF frames, slide counts. Solid enough to bill on.
The page counter for Windows 10 & 11
Count every page in a folder. Not just the PDFs.
FileTally is a Windows page counter that counts every page in a folder in one pass: PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, multi-page TIFFs, images, emails and text. It separates exact counts from estimates, flags anything needing action, and exports CSV, XLSX or a PDF summary. Everything runs locally. $24.99 once.
7-day full-feature trial available. No account. No subscription.

Fast page counting for mixed folders. Three moves.
No sorting by type first. No opening files one at a time. Point it at the folder and get a number you can defend.
-
Drop or browse to a folder
FileTally walks the full tree, subfolders included, and picks up every supported file. ZIP archives can be extracted locally for a fuller count.
-
Watch the count build
Totals climb live as each file is read. Exact and estimated results stay separate the whole way through.
-
Review, then export
Clear anything marked Action needed, then export a detailed CSV or XLSX, or a one-page PDF summary for the headline number.
Three words keep your total honest.
Every file gets a status before anything leaves your hands. Nothing questionable gets folded quietly into the total.
Estimated
Counted by a documented rule, like characters per page for text files. Labeled, so the recipient knows what is approximate.
Action needed
Password-protected, corrupted or unreadable. Called out in the review queue with the reason, never counted silently.
What it counts, and how.
Real folders are a mess of PDFs, Office files, scans, photos and email. FileTally counts the mix as it is.
| Format | How pages are counted |
|---|---|
| Exact page counts by parsing the file directly. | |
| Word DOC, DOCX | Word automation when Office is installed; document metadata otherwise. |
| Excel XLS, XLSX | Printed pages from each sheet's print area and page layout. Not cells, not sheets. |
| PowerPoint PPT, PPTX | One page per slide. |
| TIFF | Every frame in a multi-page TIFF. |
| Images JPG, PNG, BMP | One page each, or left blank. Your call. |
| Email MSG, EML | Outlook and standard email messages. |
| Text TXT | Estimated from configurable characters and lines per page. |
| ZIP | Supported archives extracted locally, then counted with everything else. |
The number you hand off. And the proof behind it.
A clean total when that is all someone needs. A file-by-file inventory with page count, type and path when they need more. CSV or XLSX, plus a printable PDF summary.

How do I count pages in multiple PDF files at once?
Put the PDFs in one folder (subfolders are fine), open FileTally, and drop or browse to that folder. FileTally reads every PDF in the tree, shows the total page count plus a per-file breakdown, and exports the list to CSV or XLSX. You never open the files one by one.
How do I count all the pages in a folder of mixed documents?
Select the folder in FileTally and it counts every supported file in one pass: PDF, Word (.doc/.docx), Excel (.xls/.xlsx), PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx), multi-page TIFF, JPG/PNG/BMP images, Outlook .msg and .eml email, and text files. Supported ZIP archives can be extracted locally first for a fuller count.
Can I count pages in Word documents without opening each one?
Yes. FileTally counts .doc and .docx pages for a whole folder at once. When Microsoft Office is installed it uses Word automation for layout-accurate counts; without Office it falls back to document metadata and labels the result so you know how it was counted.
Does FileTally count pages in multi-page TIFF files?
Yes. FileTally counts every frame in a multi-page TIFF as a page, so scanned productions and fax archives get a real page count instead of one per file.
Does FileTally upload my documents to the cloud?
No. FileTally processes documents locally on your Windows PC and does not upload their content for counting. A cloud-synced folder may already have uploaded files through another service. Licensing uses online activation and automatic lease renewal, with an offline grace window.
How much does FileTally cost?
FileTally is a one-time purchase of $24.99 per license. There is no subscription. The license includes 12 months of updates, unlimited file processing, full CSV/XLSX/PDF export, and commercial use rights.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. FileTally includes a 7-day full-feature trial. See the licensing details for current trial terms. No account or credit card is required to start the trial.
Can I export page counts to Excel?
Yes. FileTally exports to CSV, XLSX and a printable PDF summary. The detailed export has one row per file with page count, file type, path and review status, ready to sort, filter or attach.
What versions of Windows does FileTally support?
FileTally runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11. It requires .NET 8 Desktop Runtime, which is included in the installer. Install it with the signed direct installer or from the Microsoft Store.
Is FileTally available for Mac, iPad or iPhone?
Not yet. FileTally runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 today. Native apps for Mac, iPad and iPhone are in development.
Stop opening files one at a time.
Install it, point it at the folder, and get a total you can stand behind. A 7-day trial is available; see the licensing details for current terms.
