About Our Book Length Calculator

Our free online Book Length Calculator helps authors, publishers, and content creators estimate how many pages their PDF document would translate to in standard book formats. Simply upload your PDF file, and our tool will calculate the total word count and estimate the page length for:

• Trade Paperbacks (standard 6x9 inch books at 300 words per page)
• Mass Market Paperbacks (smaller 4x7 inch books at 400 words per page)
• Hardcover Books (typically 250 words per page with more white space)

4. Providing accurate page count estimates

Why Page Count Matters

Knowing your estimated book length helps with:
