Live Object Counter — Count Objects with Your Camera

Open the page on your phone, allow camera access and point the rear camera at distinct, separated items. Every few seconds a detector analyzes a frame and refreshes the total and markers. Review each marker before using the total. No app install is needed.

Continuous live counting analyzes dozens of camera frames during one session, so it is included with Premium. The one-shot photo Object Counter remains free.

No. Live frames are analyzed in memory and immediately discarded — nothing is saved to your gallery or to our servers.

Distinct, separated and fully visible items with a clear background. For dense, touching or mixed piles, use the photo counter, enter the item name, and review the automatic result.

Type the item you want counted, such as bottles, pills or boxes, before you start the camera. Every frame is counted for that item. When a shelf holds several kinds of product, name the one you need. You can change the name while the camera runs, and the next frame is counted for the new item.

Every live session automatically ends after 10 minutes so an idle phone does not continue using live-processing capacity in the background. This limit is fixed and cannot be changed from any control, so when it triggers you'll see a 'session paused' notice over the viewfinder. Press Start camera again to immediately begin a fresh 10-minute session and keep counting a longer job in back-to-back stretches.

Live Object Counter does not take a file. It works from your live camera view, once you allow camera access in the browser. If nothing is generated, check that the fields on the page are filled in and, where a link is needed, that the whole link was pasted.

Check the input first: a sharp, well-lit original that has not been through a messaging app gives the best result. Then review the settings on the page, change one at a time and run it again — nothing is locked in until you download.

Live Object Counter requires paid access before a camera session starts. Counts are shown live on screen; this tool does not offer a file download.

No — desktop software is not required. Live Object Counter runs in a supported browser with camera permission and requires paid access before a camera session starts.

It asks for the rear camera, so a phone's back camera is the intended setup. If the browser has blocked access, allow the camera for this site in the browser settings and start again. If no camera can start, the page points you to the photo-based counter instead.

Each number comes from a separate camera frame taken every few seconds, so a small move, a shadow or an item sliding into view changes it. Hold the phone still for a few seconds. If the number keeps wandering, space the items out or adjust Detection sensitivity.

It gives the count of the items visible in the latest frame, not a running total: it does not track items from one frame to the next or add them up over time. For a moving line, stop it and count a still photo with the photo-based Object Counter.

Yes. While the camera runs, each count sends a reduced-size still image, not video, about every few seconds. On a long session a Wi-Fi connection keeps this off your mobile data plan.

It is built for stock, parts and boxes rather than people. For a headcount, use the People Counter on a single photo of the group, which marks each person so you can review the total.
