Count Coins in a Photo — AI Coin Counter

Slight touching is fine. Avoid full overlaps (coins on top of coins), spread them one layer deep, and review every result marker.

Upload the photo, open the Examples setting and mark one complete, clear coins — plus another example for each different-looking kind you want counted, up to three. Then choose Count: only items matching your examples are counted, so check the dashed boxes and result dots and correct the tally if anything else was picked up.

Yes. Mark one complete, clear coin of that denomination in the Examples setting, choose Count, then review the matching markers. Repeat with a new example per denomination, counting each into its own tally row, and export the CSV for your cash sheet.

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.

Counting mode picks which route runs. Auto and Similar items are example-guided: open the Examples setting and mark 1 to 3 complete, clearly visible coins before you choose Count. Distinct objects needs no examples and suits separated, fully visible coins. Neither guarantees denomination identification, so review and correct every matching marker.

Sensitivity runs from Low to High and sets how confident the AI needs to be before marking something as a coin. Raise it toward High if coins are being missed in a dim or cluttered photo; lower it toward Low if glare, shadows or reflections off the coins are being counted as extra items. Even, flat lighting on the coins usually needs only a mid-range setting.

Result overlay controls how counted coins are marked on the image: Dots + heatmap shows a dot per coin plus a density heatmap, Dots only keeps the photo clean for reports, and Heatmap only highlights dense clusters without individual markers. Ignore small detections raises the minimum size a mark needs to count, so nudge it toward Large only if stray glare, dust or coin edges are being counted as separate coins.

Yes. Open Bulk audit and every tray or jar photo is counted with the Distinct objects detector; review every result and correct the tally as needed. For a denomination-specific Auto or Similar items pass, count one photo at a time with your own marked examples, because one manual crop cannot be reused across different images.

Tap Add to tally after each count to log that photo's total into the built-in tally sheet, labelling rows like "Till 2 — pennies" or "Jar A — quarters". Export the sheet as a CSV for your cash records, generate a branded PDF stock-take report, or sign in to save the stock-take to your account and share a read-only link with your team.

Choose Auto or Similar items, open the Examples setting and mark 1 to 3 complete, clear coins of the denomination you want, then choose Count. Review every marker, correct lookalikes, and repeat with fresh examples for each denomination. Distinct objects remains useful for one combined pass over separated, fully visible coins.

Yes — the tally sheet's CSV export stays free for everyday cash or collection counts, but generating the branded PDF stock-take report and using "Copy team link" to share a saved session both require a Premium plan; trying either on the free plan shows an upgrade prompt instead of the file or link. Saving a stock-take to your account and reopening it later is free, though free accounts can only keep a limited number of saved sessions at once.

Marking examples is required before an Auto or Similar items count can run. Open Examples in settings, mark 1 to 3 complete coins of the denomination you want, then choose Count. You can remove and redraw a poor box. Similar coins or clutter can still be selected, so review every marker before repeating for another denomination.

The tool estimates a number of visible coins rather than their monetary value. For a denomination-specific pass, mark one complete, clear coin of that denomination in the Examples setting before counting, review and correct every result marker, then log the checked tally as its own row before multiplying by face value in a spreadsheet.

Not just for an AI-assisted estimate — a search for a coin counter machine near me usually ends at a supermarket kiosk that keeps a percentage of your change, and a coin sorter still means feeding coins through by hand. Spread the coins flat, photograph them, then review and correct the counted markers before using the tally. The marked image helps with that review but is not proof of a physical count by itself.

Yes — this coin counter online runs in a phone, tablet or computer browser, so there is nothing to install. Take a photo of coins spread one layer deep, upload it and review the dotted count. Download the free marked-up result without an account; the tally sheet keeps a running total.

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 11 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.

Your download never carries a watermark. This is a paid capability, and it says so before you use it rather than after you have done the work — that is the whole difference from tools that let you finish and then put the export behind a payment.

No — Coin 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.
