Count Bottles in a Photo — AI Bottle Counter

It can help with packed rows, but touching or partially hidden bottles remain harder than separated stock. Photograph the shelf front-on in even light and review every retained marker. In the Examples setting, mark one complete, clearly visible bottle — a whole bottle, not a label or bottle part — and add an example for each product you want counted, up to three.

Upload the photo and choose Count. Auto mode uses the selected item name; review every marker and correct the tally. For a guided recount, open Examples and mark one complete, clear bottles, with up to three examples for different-looking kinds.

Yes — add each photo's count to the tally sheet, label the rows (e.g. "Shelf 4 — cola 500ml"), and export the whole stock-take as a CSV for your records or spreadsheet.

Yes. You can count, review and download a free result without an account. Downloads are free without a watermark. No signup required. Server-processed photos are encrypted in transit and removed under our Security policy.

Auto counts bottles using the selected item name. For a guided recount in Auto or Similar items, open Examples, mark 1 to 3 complete, clear bottles (one per brand or SKU you want counted), then choose Count. Review every marker because similar labels, reflections and partial bottles can still cause mistakes. Detect objects needs no examples and is useful when bottles are separated and fully visible.

Raise the Sensitivity slider if bottles at the back of a row or in shadow are being missed, or lower it if reflections and labels are being double-counted. If small background clutter like caps or price tags is inflating the total, increase Ignore small detections to filter them out — this control only applies outside Similar items mode.

Yes — switch the Result overlay to Dots only to review each counted-bottle detection, or Heatmap only to see density concentration across a packed shelf or crate. The default Dots + heatmap view shows both at once. Check for misses and duplicates and correct the tally before using it.

Open Bulk audit and every shelf photo is counted with the Distinct objects detector. Review every shelf's markers, correct the tally where needed, then save or export the combined result. When a photo needs an example-guided SKU-specific pass, count it in Single photo mode with your own marked examples, one photo at a time.

Adding counts to the Tally sheet and exporting a CSV needs no account. The branded PDF report and Bulk audit — counting a whole batch of shelf or crate photos in one go — are Premium features.

No — Bulk audit always runs the Distinct objects detector across the queue, carrying your detector settings but never your examples. A bottle you manually mark in Single photo mode is specific to that image and is never reused in another photo, which is why example-guided Auto or Similar items counting works one photo at a time. Mark examples on an individual photo when you need a particular SKU.

Yes — sign in and open Saved stock-takes to see every count saved to your account. Tap 'Open in tally' to load one back into the Tally sheet to keep adding to it, or delete it from the list once it's no longer needed.

Yes — on the single-photo screen (not Bulk audit) a 'Take a photo' button appears next to the regular upload area on phones and tablets, opening your device's rear camera so you can photograph the shelf or crate on the spot. It's hidden in Bulk audit mode, which is built for uploading several existing photos at once instead.

Yes — every Tally sheet row has an editable Count field, not just an editable label, so you can type in the correct number after checking it against the marked-up photo. This is faster than reshooting and rerunning the AI just to correct one row before exporting the CSV or PDF.

Yes, for separate and fully visible items. Choose Distinct objects, then add up to 60 photos on Premium or 200 on Pro; review and correct every photo's detector markers before using one tally per photo plus a grand total. Guided Auto or Similar items cannot reuse one crop across unrelated photos, so process those one at a time with a new example.

No. Bulk object counting requires Distinct objects and never transfers a marked crop to another image. The detector settings apply to up to 60 photos on Premium or 200 on Pro, but every result still needs marker-by-marker review. Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.

Almost always one of three things. The file is over the 20 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking image gets refused.

It reports what is genuinely in the file, so a blank or surprising result usually means the data was never there — stripped by the app that last saved it, removed by a platform on upload, or absent from the original. Try the untouched original file straight from the camera or source rather than a copy that has been through a messaging app.

Bottle Counter supports free standard use within the published processing allowances. Free downloads are clean — no watermark. No signup is required for standard tool use. Photo effects and AI edits have a web-size limit on Free, with the original-resolution result available through Premium or one credit. Crop, resize, rotate, compress and convert stay full size. Premium supports batches of up to 60 files, with the applicable plan limits shown before processing.

No — Bottle Counter runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.
