Shutter count (also called actuation count) is the total number of times a camera's shutter has fired since it left the factory. Like a car's odometer, it's the standard way to gauge how much a camera has been used and how much wear it may have.

When buying or selling a used camera, checking the shutter count lets you verify actual usage objectively — something a seller's stated "ownership period" alone can't tell you. Comparing it against the manufacturer's rated shutter durability also gives you a rough idea of how much life the camera has left.

An unedited original JPG straight from the camera works best (edited/re-saved photos may have lost this data)

📸 Supported Brands

Supports most DSLR and mirrorless brands, including Canon, Nikon, Sony, FUJIFILM, PENTAX, RICOH, Panasonic, Olympus/OM System, and Samsung. That said, some models and firmware versions don't record the shutter count in the file at all, in which case the result may not be found as described above.

On many mirrorless cameras, photos taken with the electronic shutter aren't counted — only mechanical shutter actuations are reflected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a high shutter count always mean a bad camera?

Not necessarily. Shutter count only reflects usage, not how well the camera was cared for or the actual condition of its parts. That said, the closer it gets to the manufacturer's rated shutter durability, the sooner a shutter unit replacement may be needed — worth factoring into price negotiations or a purchase decision.

Which photo file should I upload?

An unedited original JPG or RAW file taken straight from the camera's memory card is most accurate. Photos sent via messaging apps or uploaded to social media have often had this data stripped and likely won't work.

Is my uploaded photo stored anywhere?

No. Analysis happens entirely in your browser with nothing sent to a server — your photo and the data inside it are never stored anywhere.
