Count germinated sprouts in a tray from a photo
Photograph along the rows from above or a high angle so each of the sprouts is distinct; count bed by bed and combine in the tally sheet. Built for seed labs, agronomists and crop researchers — review and correct each photo before adding it to a CSV or PDF tally.
- Review the photo, then count visible sprouts
- Mark an example of each different-looking kind — up to three — before you count
- Stop counting the same sprouts twice to be sure of the total
- Free to use · No signup required · Without watermark
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 sprouts fully in frame
• Check that each marked example boxes a whole sprouts rather than a repeated part
• Dots and heatmap show retained detections — review and correct the tally
About the Sprouts Counter
The sprouts counter works from the 1–3 example sprouts 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 seed labs, agronomists and crop researchers.
How It Works
1. Photograph your sprouts
2. Mark an example sprouts 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
• Germination counts on day 4 and day 7 of the same tray
• Working out a germination rate against the seeds sown
• Trial-plot emergence records across several varieties
• Nursery propagation checks before pricking out
Frequently asked questions
- How do I count long rows or beds?
- Photograph one bed or section at a time from as high an angle as practical, keep rows in focus, then review and correct each result before adding it to the tally sheet. Marked photos support review but are not proof of physical quantity.
- Can I work out a germination rate from this?
- Count the emerged sprouts, review and correct the markers, then divide by the number of seeds you sowed. The tally sheet keeps each tray as its own labelled row so the arithmetic stays traceable. The result is a reviewed draft, not a certified germination test.
- What if the photo has more than just sprouts in it?
- Your marked examples tell the counter exactly what to count. Drag a tight box around one complete, clearly visible sprouts — 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.
