Tips for an accurate count
• Use an even, well-lit photo with the plywood sheets fully in frame
• Check that each marked example boxes a whole plywood sheets rather than a repeated part
• Dots and heatmap show retained detections — review and correct the tally
About the Plywood Sheets Counter
The plywood sheets counter counts visible plywood sheets from your photo and marks detections for review. Auto mode uses the selected item name. For a guided recount, mark up to three examples of what you want counted. Visibility, overlap and similar-looking items can affect the total. Built for builders, site managers and building-material suppliers.
How It Works
1. Photograph your plywood sheets
2. Check that plywood sheets is selected, then choose Count
3. Review the markers and correct the tally; add example boxes for a guided recount if needed
4. Add to the tally sheet and export your count as CSV
Perfect For
• Confirming sheet counts on a delivered pack before signing
• Tracking board usage across a fit-out
• Counting remaining sheets before reordering
• Sheet-material stock takes in a joinery workshop
Counting plywood and board sheets by their stacked edges
Fit-out contractors, cabinet shops and sheet-material suppliers count plywood to confirm a delivered pack and to track how quickly boards are used on a job. A stack only reveals its sheets along the edge, where each board is a thin band. Photograph that edge face straight-on, with light skimming across it from one side so every glue line and gap throws a small shadow.
Thin boards make tight bands, and a tall pack can squeeze too many lines into one frame. Split the stack with a strip of tape on one chosen sheet, photograph the upper and lower parts separately and add each as a tally row, counting the taped sheet in only one of them. Protective top and bottom boards, bearers under the pack and offcuts lying on top are not stock, so check whether they picked up dots. For mixed thicknesses in one pack, mark a single edge of each thickness as an example.
On the free plan the counter analyzes a web-size copy of the photo, so tight framing helps fine edges; Premium analyzes the full-resolution file. Corrugated metal follows a similar edge method on the roofing sheet page, and timber boards counted from their ends are covered by the plank counter.
Setting up an edge photo
- Light from one side, low and close to the stack face
- Camera square to the edge, not looking down at the top sheet
- Tape marks any split point so no sheet is counted twice
- Packing boards and bearers excluded from the total
Frequently asked questions
- Can it count a full stack when some items are hidden?
- It can only estimate the visible photo content. For regular stacks, photograph and review each accessible face, correct the tally, and treat any multiplication by depth as an estimate. A marked image supports review but does not prove the physical quantity.
- How do I count sheets in a tight stack?
- Photograph the stack edge straight-on with raking light so each sheet edge shows as a line — the counter reads the visible edges. For very tight stacks, a slight angle that shadows each edge improves separation.
- What if the photo has more than just plywood sheets in it?
- Auto mode uses the selected item name to find what to count. For a guided recount, mark one complete, clearly visible plywood sheets — up to 3 examples for different-looking kinds. Similar-looking distractors can still affect the result, so review every marker before using the total.
- Can I count several photos into one total?
- Yes — count each photo and add every reviewed result to the tally sheet as a labelled row. If you use example boxes, mark them separately on each photo. Export the tally as CSV or a PDF report, or save it to your account.
- Is it free and private?
- 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.
