How do I count the pages in a PDF?

Simply drag and drop your PDF onto the upload area or click to select it. The tool reads the file entirely in your browser and instantly shows the total page count along with the file name, file size, title and author metadata.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server to count the pages?

No. This tool is 100% browser-based. Your PDF never leaves your device and is never sent to any server. All processing is done locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your documents remain completely private.

What metadata does the PDF page counter show?

In addition to the total page count, the tool displays the file name, file size (in KB or MB), the document title as stored in the PDF metadata, and the author name as stored in the PDF metadata. If these fields were not set when the PDF was created they will show as N/A.

Is there a file size limit for the PDF?

There is no enforced file size limit. Since all processing happens in your browser, very large PDFs may take a moment to read depending on your device. For most standard documents the result appears almost instantly.
