Frequently Asked Questions

It counts the fruits matching your marked examples, including apples, oranges, mangoes, tomatoes, coconuts and melons. Mark one complete, clear fruit in the Examples setting — and one per fruit type, up to three — then review every marker because similar produce, leaves and overlap can still affect the result.

usage

Upload the photo, open the Examples setting and mark one complete, clear fruits — 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.

usage

Open canopies with well-lit fruit can support a sampling estimate. Hidden fruit will not be seen reliably, so use reviewed crate or tray photos at harvest when you need a stronger tally.

quality

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.

privacy

Auto and Similar items are example-guided: open the Examples setting and mark 1 to 3 complete, clearly visible fruits before the count can run. Distinct objects needs no examples and suits separated, fully visible fruit. Neither guarantees a per-variety breakdown, so review the markers and use fresh examples for each variety-specific pass.

usage

Sensitivity (Low to High) sets how sure the AI must be before marking a fruit. Glossy skins like apples or citrus can create bright highlights that read as edges, so lower Sensitivity toward Low if it's over-counting from glare; raise it toward High if fruit at the back of a crate or in shadow is being missed. Diffuse, even lighting over the crate reduces how much adjustment you need.

technical

Result overlay chooses how each counted fruit is marked — Dots + heatmap for both a per-fruit dot and a density map, Dots only for a clean annotated photo, Heatmap only to spot dense clusters. Ignore small detections raises the size cut-off so leaves, stems or small blemishes on the crate aren't mistaken for extra fruit — push it toward Large only if you're seeing an inflated count from debris.

features

Yes. Open Bulk audit and every crate photo is counted with the Distinct objects detector; review every result and correct the tally as needed. For a variety-specific Auto or Similar items pass, count one photo at a time with your own marked examples, because a manual crop belongs only to that image.

features

Add each crate's count to the tally sheet as you go, labelling rows like "Crate 12 — Gala apples", then export the whole run as a CSV for your yield records or a branded PDF report. Sign in to save the stock-take to your account and share a read-only link with the packhouse team.

features

Use Distinct objects only when fruit is separated and fully visible; it does not guarantee variety identification. For a per-variety pass, choose Auto or Similar items and mark 1 to 3 complete fruits of that variety in Examples. Review and correct each marker because glare, leaves, overlap and size filters can still add or remove detections.

tips

No — toggling from Single photo to Bulk audit so you can queue photos of every crate, tray or conveyor section at once is a Premium feature; the free plan counts one photo at a time, with each result added to the tally sheet manually. Single-photo counting, Counting mode, Sensitivity and the Examples setting all remain free.

pricing

Yes — the tally sheet's CSV export is free for yield and harvest records, but generating the branded PDF stock-take report and using "Copy team link" to share a saved session with the packhouse team both require a Premium plan, prompting an upgrade if tried on the free plan. Saving a stock-take to your account stays free, though free accounts can only keep a limited number of saved sessions.

pricing

Auto and Similar items require marked examples before counting. To target one variety, open the Examples setting, mark 1 to 3 complete fruits of that variety, then choose Count. You can remove and redraw a box; crates, leaves and similar produce can still cause mistakes, so review every result marker.

usage

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.

features

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.

usage

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.

troubleshooting

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.

troubleshooting

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.

pricing

No — Fruit 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.

How Fruit Counter helps you get it done

Real problems it solves every day — for businesses, creators, and everyday tasks. Find the use case that fits you and start.

For Business

Harvest Day Yield Tracking

Open Bulk audit to run Distinct objects mode across every crate photo, then review every result before comparing the running total with last season.

For E-commerce

Farmers' Market & Roadside Stall Stock

Run Similar items mode on one fruit type before opening and again at close, then review and correct both tallies before using their difference as a sales estimate.

Research

Orchard Sampling for Yield Estimates

Photograph a well-lit section of canopy and let the AI count visible fruit as a sampling method, using the Detection sensitivity slider to tune for partially hidden fruit when estimating a full orchard's yield.

For Business

Packhouse Grading & Crate Review

Mark 1-3 example fruit in the Examples setting — one per variety in the crate — and use the Similar items result as a draft before a crate is sealed. Then inspect the physical crate and correct misses or duplicates before packhouse sign-off.

Legal

Wholesale Delivery Count Review

Use the marked image to review an AI-assisted delivery draft, compare it with a qualified manual or physical count, and save the corrected tally with normal delivery records. The image is not proof of quantity by itself.

Personal Use

Home Garden Harvest Counting

Photograph a basket of home-grown tomatoes, apples or berries at pick time for a harvest estimate, then review and correct the markers before adding a tally row for the season.

Watch each transformation land

Every photo crosses the slash untouched and comes out the other side finished.
