Count Livestock in a Photo — AI Livestock Counter

Use a higher, wider view from a gate platform, slope or drone to reduce animals hiding each other. Bunching can still cause errors. Review and correct the markers, and physically confirm exceptions before using the tally for a sale, transport or welfare decision.

The counter automatically looks for animals. Review every marker and correct the tally. For mixed stock, photograph each type separately when similar-looking items are hard to distinguish.

Higher, top-down pasture or pen photos reduce overlap and can support larger visual checks. Upload the photo and review every result marker. Split very wide or crowded scenes into sections when individuals are too small.

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.

Yes — the tally sheet's CSV export is free for herd records, but generating the branded PDF stock-take report and using the link icon (Copy team link) to share a saved session with a buyer or your farm team both require a Premium plan, showing an upgrade prompt on the free plan. Saving a stock-take to your account remains free, though free accounts can only keep a limited number of saved sessions.

Yes. Name what to count, then add up to 60 photos on Premium or 200 on Pro; each photo is counted the way a single photo is. Review every photo's markers before using one tally per photo plus a grand total.

No. The counter selects a method automatically for each photo. The counting 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.

Check the input first: a sharp, well-lit original that has not been through a messaging app gives the best result. Then review the settings on the page, change one at a time and run it again — nothing is locked in until you download.

Livestock 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 — Livestock 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.

The counter works on the animals visible in one photo and does not track them over time or through a gate. Photograph the group once it is settled in a pen or paddock and count that photo.

Photograph from above or from a high point at the end of the shed, and count one section at a time. Birds that move, huddle or sit behind feeders are easy to miss, so review the dots and treat the total as an estimate.

Choose fixed section boundaries, such as fence lines, and photograph each section once. Check the edges of neighboring photos for the same animals, and take the photos in quick succession so animals have little time to move between sections.

Export the CSV and send the file. To keep the stock-take, sign in and select Save to account, then use the link icon (Copy team link), a Premium feature, for a read-only link that anyone with it can open without an account.
