How to Count Pages in a PDF

Counting the pages in a PDF file should be simple, but many tools require you to upload your document to a remote server, create an account, or install desktop software. SigPDF's free page counter does none of that. Just drop your file on the page and the count appears instantly.

The tool uses your browser's built-in capabilities to parse the PDF structure and read the page count. Because everything runs locally, it works even after the page has loaded with no internet connection. This also means your file is never transmitted over the network — ideal for confidential contracts, financial statements, legal documents, or any sensitive material.

Common Reasons to Check PDF Page Count

  • Verifying a document before printing — know the exact page count to estimate costs and paper usage
  • Checking submissions — many applications, grant proposals, and academic papers have strict page limits
  • Auditing merged files — after combining multiple PDFs, confirm the total page count is correct
  • Preparing for signing — check how many pages you need to review and sign before starting the process
  • Estimating reading time — a quick page count helps you plan your schedule

Works With Any PDF

Whether your PDF is a single-page receipt or a 500-page report, the counter handles it. It works with scanned documents, digitally created PDFs, fillable forms, and portfolio PDFs. The only requirement is that the file can be opened without a password.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I count the number of pages in a PDF?
Simply drag and drop your PDF file onto the tool above, or click to browse and select your file. The page count is displayed instantly. No signup, no upload to any server — everything happens in your browser.
Is this PDF page counter really free?
Yes, 100% free with no limits. You can count pages in as many PDF files as you want. There is no subscription, no watermark, and no hidden fees. This tool is completely free to use.
Is my PDF file uploaded to a server?
No. Your PDF is processed entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. The file never leaves your device. We never see, store, or have access to your documents. This makes it safe for confidential and sensitive files.
Does this work with password-protected PDFs?
If the PDF requires a password to open, the tool will not be able to read it and will show an error. PDFs that are only restricted from printing or editing (but not from opening) will work normally.
Can I use this on my phone or tablet?
Yes. The PDF page counter works on any device with a modern web browser — desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. It works on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge across all operating systems.
