Tips for an accurate count
• Use an even, well-lit photo with the yarn cones fully in frame
• Mark 1–3 example yarn cones when other items share the photo
• Dots and heatmap show what was counted — verify at a glance
About the Yarn Cones Counter
The yarn cones counter uses an AI similar-item engine built for dense scenes where yarn cones touch or overlap — the case where counting by hand is slow and error-prone. Mark one to three example yarn cones and it counts exactly that item, marking every counted one on the image so you can verify the total. Built for garment factories, wholesalers and laundries.
How It Works
1. Photograph your yarn cones
2. AI counts them — optionally mark 1–3 example yarn cones
3. Verify with the dots and heatmap on the image
4. Add to the tally sheet and export your count as CSV
Perfect For
• Line-output and order tallies of yarn cones
• Dispatch counts against the packing list
• Stockroom audits between seasons
• Theft, loss and shrinkage spot checks
Frequently asked questions
- How do I count a whole shelf accurately?
- Shoot each shelf face straight-on in even light, count the visible front row, and multiply by the row depth if the shelf is uniformly stocked — or photograph each row. The tally sheet adds shelf-by-shelf rows into one total.
- What if the photo has more than just yarn cones in it?
- Mark 1–3 example yarn cones 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 with no signup for everyday use. Photos are uploaded only to process and are deleted automatically afterwards; we never keep or share them.

Warehouse Goods-In Receiving Audits
Warehouse staff verify pallet and crate quantities the moment a delivery arrives by photographing each pallet, marking the SKU with example items, and exporting the tally as a CSV to match against the purchase order.
Pharmacy Compliance & Controlled-Stock Audit Trails
Pharmacies count blister packs and bottles shelf by shelf, marking a single SKU on a mixed shelf with exemplar boxes, then export a branded PDF report as an auditable record for compliance checks.
Loss-Prevention & Shrinkage Spot Checks
Store managers run a quick photo recount of high-theft shelves week over week and compare saved stock-take sessions over time to spot shrinkage trends without a full manual recount.
Small Manufacturer & Workshop Parts Counting
Machine shops and small manufacturers photograph bins of screws, fasteners, gaskets or other components between production runs, marking one part with Mark example items so mixed hardware trays are counted correctly for build planning or reordering.
