FileTally counts the pages across PDFs, Office files, TIFFs, images and email in one pass. It shows what was counted, what was estimated and which files were left out, all on your own computer.
FileTally 1.1.0 on Windows · Invented sample files · 66 known pages: 52 counted, 14 estimated; 2 files not counted
Open a file’s details to see how its pages were counted, with the saved method, limits and settings.
Files FileTally can’t count are excluded from the total and listed in Review with the reason. They are never counted as zero.
Workbook pages are estimated from each sheet’s used range on a standard page. Populated cells are reported beside the total, never added to it.
See how FileTally counts each format. The method is saved with each result. No Microsoft Office required.
