Tips for an accurate count
• Use an even, well-lit photo with the egg cartons fully in frame
• Mark 1–3 example egg cartons when other items share the photo
• Dots and heatmap show what was counted — verify at a glance
About the Egg Cartons Counter
The egg cartons counter uses an AI similar-item engine built for dense scenes where egg cartons touch or overlap — the case where counting by hand is slow and error-prone. Mark one to three example egg cartons and it counts exactly that item, marking every counted one on the image so you can verify the total. Built for shops, distributors and FMCG stockrooms.
How It Works
1. Photograph your egg cartons
2. AI counts them — optionally mark 1–3 example egg cartons
3. Verify with the dots and heatmap on the image
4. Add to the tally sheet and export your count as CSV
Perfect For
• Shelf and back-room counts of egg cartons
• Delivery verification against the invoice
• Shrinkage spot checks in seconds
• Theft, loss and shrinkage spot checks
Frequently asked questions
- Can it count a full stack when some items are hidden?
- It counts what is visible in the photo. For regular stacks, photograph one face and multiply by the depth, or photograph each face and combine them in the tally sheet — the marked image gives you proof for every face you counted.
- What if the photo has more than just egg cartons in it?
- Mark 1–3 example egg cartons 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.
- Can I count several photos into one total?
- Yes — every count can be added to the tally sheet as a labelled row, or use Bulk audit to upload many photos at once. Export the result as a CSV, generate a PDF report, or save the stock-take to your account and share a read-only link with your team.
- Is it free and private?
- 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.

Every control in Egg Counter, explained — what it does and when to use it.
Upload
- Single photo / Bulk auditPresets
- Switches between counting one photo at a time and Bulk audit (Premium), which counts a whole queue of photos and adds every result to the tally sheet with a grand total.Options: Single photoBulk audit
Count
- Add to tallyOne-click
- Adds the current photo's count as a new row on the tally sheet so counts from several shelves, crates or batches combine into one stock-take.
- Counting modePresets
- Chooses the counting engine: Auto picks the best one for the photo, Similar items handles piles and rows of eggs, Distinct objects labels each separate item, and Max accuracy cross-checks every engine (slower).Options: AutoSimilar itemsDistinct objectsMax accuracy
- ConfidenceSliderRange: 0–1 · Default: 0.05
- Re-filters the marked detections after a count — slide toward Only confident to drop doubtful marks or toward Show more to include faint ones; the total updates instantly.
- Overlay stylePresets
- Sets how counted items appear on the live preview — dots on each item, a density heatmap, both, or a clean image — so you can verify the total visually.Options: BothDotsHeatNone
- What to countText input
- Names the item to count and comes pre-filled with eggs; clear or change it to count a different item in the photo.
- Detection sensitivitySliderRange: 0–1 · Default: 0.5
- Controls how eagerly items are marked, from Larger items to Smaller items — raise it if small or faint items are missed, lower it if specks or shadows inflate the count.
Examples
- Mark example eggsDraw on image
- Drag a box around 1–3 example eggs on the photo to teach the counter exactly which item to count in a busy or mixed scene.
Tally
- LabelText input
- Renames a tally row (e.g. Shelf 4 — 500ml) so each counted photo stays identifiable in the exported stock-take.
- CountNumber input
- Lets you hand-correct a row's counted number (minimum 0) if you spot a miscount; the running total and the CSV or PDF export update immediately.
Advanced
- Result overlayDropdown
- Chooses how the downloadable result image is annotated so the count can be verified on the saved file; not used in Distinct objects mode.Options: Dots + heatmapDots onlyHeatmap only
- Ignore small detectionsSliderRange: 0–1 · Default: 0
- Filters out detections smaller than the chosen size, from Off to Large only, so dust, specks and distant clutter stop inflating the total.

Real problems it solves every day — for businesses, creators, and everyday tasks. Find the use case that fits you and start in seconds.
Daily Hatchery Setting Sheets
Photograph trays as they go into the incubator and use Similar items mode to get an exact setting count per batch, adding each tray as its own tally row so the hatchery log matches what actually went in.
Farm Stall & Farmers' Market Stock Checks
Count the day's cartons before loading the stall so you know exactly what you're bringing to market, then recount unsold trays at the end of the day to see what sold without a manual tally sheet.
Multi-Shed Poultry Production Rollup
Use Bulk audit to photograph the collection table in every shed in one session — each photo is counted automatically and combined into a grand total for the day's production report.
Dispatch Order Verification
Count the exact number of eggs boxed for an outgoing order against the customer's purchase order before the van leaves, keeping the marked photo as proof of the count if a dispute comes up later.
Mixed Egg-Size Grading Records
Switch Counting mode to Distinct objects when a tray mixes egg sizes or colors so each grade is recognised on its own, giving you a size-by-size breakdown instead of one combined number.
Backyard Flock Egg-Laying Log
Photograph the nesting box each day to log how many eggs your backyard chickens laid without walking out to count by hand, adding each day's photo to the tally sheet to track laying trends over weeks or months.
