The count, explained
A total you can check
Counted pages stay separate from estimates, and every file that could not be counted is listed with the reason.
See what needs attention
Password-protected, unsupported and unreadable files are listed with the reason, never counted as zero.
Spreadsheet pages and cells
Pages are estimated from each sheet’s used range. Populated cells are reported beside the total, never added to it.
Take the results with you
Copy a one-line summary, or export every file with its path, status, pages, count basis and cells as CSV for Excel or JSONL for scripts.

Questions
Something else? Email support
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. 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. Files inside ZIP archives are counted too. Estimated pages are labeled, and files that cannot be counted are listed with the reason.
Can I count pages in Word documents without opening each one?
Yes. Count a folder using body-text estimates without Office, or use installed Word for supported DOC and DOCX files in the Mac direct app. Word counting is optional and slower. Unsupported documents are listed with a reason, and each result shows its method.
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 computer and does not upload their content for counting. A cloud-synced folder may already have uploaded files through another service. A license activates online once on each computer, then works offline.
Does FileTally use AI?
No. FileTally does not use AI or send documents to an AI service. Page counts come from each file's own structure, such as a PDF's page list or a TIFF's frames. Word, email and spreadsheet estimates use a fixed standard page, and each result shows which method was used.
How much does FileTally cost?
FileTally is a one-time purchase of $24.99 per license, or $14.99 at the launch price through November 30. There is no subscription. One license covers all your Windows PCs and Macs and includes updates, unlimited file processing, CSV and JSONL export, and commercial use rights.
Is there a free trial?
The direct Mac and Windows apps include a 7-day full-feature trial. No account or credit card is required. The iPhone and iPad app requires a separate one-time in-app purchase and has no free trial.
Can I open the page counts in Excel?
Yes. FileTally exports a CSV that opens in Excel, plus JSONL for scripts. Each file gets one row with its path, status, page count, count basis and spreadsheet cells, ready to sort, filter or attach.
Which versions of Windows and macOS does FileTally support?
FileTally runs on 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11 with Microsoft Edge WebView2, from the signed direct installer or Microsoft Store. On Mac it runs on macOS 14 or later, on Apple silicon and Intel, as a signed and notarized download. iPhone and iPad are available through the App Store.
