Count springs in a tray from a photo
Spread the springs one layer deep on a tray or flat surface and photograph from directly above — counted detections receive dots for review. Built for factories, fastener suppliers and maintenance stores — review and correct each photo before adding it to a CSV or PDF tally.
- Review the photo, then count visible springs
- Mark an example of each different-looking kind — up to three — before you count
- Stop counting the same springs twice to be sure of the total

Works with JPG, PNG, WEBP · Free up to 11 MB, Premium 50 MB

Tips for an accurate count
• Use an even, well-lit photo with the springs fully in frame
• Check that each marked example boxes a whole springs rather than a repeated part
• Dots and heatmap show retained detections — review and correct the tally
About the Springs Counter
The springs counter works from the 1–3 example springs you mark — one per different-looking kind — filters low-confidence repeat candidates, and marks retained results for review. Distinct objects mode boxes each separated item without needing examples. Visibility and overlap still affect the total. Built for factories, fastener suppliers and maintenance stores.
How It Works
1. Photograph your springs
2. Mark an example springs for each different-looking kind — up to three — then choose Count
3. Review the dots, heatmap and your marked examples; correct the tally as needed
4. Add to the tally sheet and export your count as CSV
Perfect For
• Component counts before an assembly run
• Incoming QC checks on a bulk delivery
• Bin stock audits by size and rate
• Verifying a supplier count against the packing slip
Frequently asked questions
- Do the items need to be separated before counting?
- Slight touching can work, but full overlaps hide items and make the result less reliable. Spread them one layer deep under even light, mark a clear example, and review every result marker.
- What if the photo has more than just springs in it?
- Your marked examples tell the counter exactly what to count. Drag a tight box around one complete, clearly visible springs — up to 3 examples for different-looking kinds — and only matching items are counted. 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 with its own marked examples, and add every result to the tally sheet as a labelled row. A marked example belongs to the photo it was drawn on, so mark each photo as you go. 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.
