Count bottles from a photo in seconds

Yes — the counter uses a density-based AI engine built for packed rows where bottles touch or partially hide each other, the exact case where counting by hand goes wrong. Photograph the shelf front-on with even light for the best result.

Mark 1–3 example bottles 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.

Yes — add each photo's count to the tally sheet, label the rows (e.g. "Shelf 4 — cola 500ml"), and export the whole stock-take as a CSV for your records or spreadsheet.

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.

Leave the counting mode on Auto for a single-product shelf and it picks the right engine automatically. If the shelf mixes several bottle types and the total looks off, switch to Similar items and mark 1-3 example bottles of just the one you want counted — the AI then ignores every other product in the frame. Use Detect objects instead when bottles are clearly spaced apart rather than packed together.

Raise the Sensitivity slider if bottles at the back of a row or in shadow are being missed, or lower it if reflections and labels are being double-counted. If small background clutter like caps or price tags is inflating the total, increase Ignore small detections to filter them out — this control only applies outside Similar items mode.

Yes — switch the Result overlay to Dots only to see a marker on every bottle the AI counted, or Heatmap only to see density concentration across a packed shelf or crate. The default Dots + heatmap view shows both at once, which is the fastest way to spot-check a stock-take before trusting the total.

Count each shelf photo, add its result to the Tally sheet with a label like 'Shelf 4 — cola 500ml', and repeat for every shelf or crate — the tally keeps a running grand total. For a large stockroom, switch to Bulk audit mode instead, upload every photo at once, and it counts each one and feeds the tally automatically. Sign in to save the finished stock-take to your account and share a read-only link with your team.

Adding counts to the Tally sheet and exporting a CSV is completely free with no signup. The branded PDF report button next to it is a Premium feature, and so is Bulk audit — counting a whole batch of shelf or crate photos in one go — which shows a small lock icon until you upgrade.

No — Bulk audit always runs the Auto engine using only your Sensitivity value; it ignores any Similar items/Detect objects mode choice or example bottles marked on the single-photo view. If a shelf needs a specific mode or exemplars to count accurately, run it through the single-photo view instead of Bulk audit.

Yes — sign in and open Saved stock-takes to see every count saved to your account. Tap 'Open in tally' to load one back into the Tally sheet to keep adding to it, or delete it from the list once it's no longer needed.

Yes — on the single-photo screen (not Bulk audit) a 'Take a photo' button appears next to the regular upload area on phones and tablets, opening your device's rear camera so you can photograph the shelf or crate on the spot. It's hidden in Bulk audit mode, which is built for uploading several existing photos at once instead.

Yes — every Tally sheet row has an editable Count field, not just an editable label, so you can type in the correct number after checking it against the marked-up photo. This is faster than reshooting and rerunning the AI just to correct one row before exporting the CSV or PDF.
