Count bricks and blocks from a photo in seconds

It counts every brick visible in the photo. For a rectangular stack, photograph one face, count it, and multiply by the depth — or photograph each face and combine them in the tally sheet.

Mark 1–3 example bricks by dragging a box around them and the AI counts exactly that item, ignoring everything else in the frame. Every counted item gets a dot on the image so you can verify the total at a glance.

Yes, within reason — shoot front-on in daylight and fill the frame with the stack. Dust, mixed rubble or extreme angles reduce accuracy; the dot on every counted brick lets you spot and correct any misses immediately.

Yes — counting photos is free to preview; create a free account to download for everyday use. Free downloads of the marked-up image carry a small “Counted with Pixoate” badge; with Premium that same download is watermark-free. Photos are uploaded only to process and are deleted automatically afterwards; we never keep or share them.

For a tightly packed pallet or stack, Auto or Similar items works best — mark 1-3 example bricks if the photo also shows other materials so it counts only bricks. If blocks are laid out individually with visible gaps between them, switch to Detect objects, which draws a box around each separated item instead of density-counting a packed mass.

Raise the Sensitivity slider so bricks in shadow or partially covered in dust or rubble still get picked up on a rough site photo. If loose debris or broken half-bricks are inflating the count, raise Ignore small detections to drop specks below a certain size — this slider only applies outside Similar items mode.

Set the Result overlay to Dots only and every brick the AI counted gets an individual marker you can compare against the stack, which is the fastest way to catch a miscount on rough or uneven site photos. Heatmap only is more useful for spotting where a dense area of the stack was undercounted.

Photograph each visible face of the stack, count it, and add every face's result to the Tally sheet with a label so the running total combines them into one delivery figure — or multiply a single face's count by the known depth for a fast estimate. For counting several pallets in one yard audit, switch to Bulk audit mode to process every photo in one batch and export the combined total as a CSV or PDF report.

Adding a count to the Tally sheet and exporting it as a CSV is free to preview; create a free account to download. The branded PDF report button is a Premium feature, and Bulk audit — counting every pallet photo from a delivery in one go — also needs Premium, shown with a lock icon until you upgrade.

No — Bulk audit always runs the Auto engine with only your Sensitivity value; it doesn't use a Similar items/Detect objects mode choice or example bricks marked in the single-photo view. Count a stack in the single-photo view instead if it needs a specific mode or exemplars.

Yes — sign in and check Saved stock-takes to see every count you've saved. Tap 'Open in tally' to load one back into the Tally sheet, or delete it from the list once the delivery is checked off.

Yes — on the single-photo screen (not Bulk audit) a 'Take a photo' button opens your phone's rear camera directly so you can shoot the stack or pallet on site. It only appears in single-photo mode; Bulk audit expects you to upload several existing photos instead.

Yes — every row of the Tally sheet has an editable Count field as well as an editable label, so you can override the number by hand after checking the marked-up photo against the physical stack. This saves reshooting and rerunning the AI just to correct one row before exporting.

Yes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 100 photos, set your options once, and every photo is processed with the same settings before you download one tally per photo plus a grand total. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.

Yes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch, up to 100 photos. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.
