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 β 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)

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 β only mechanical shutter actuations are reflected.
Shutter count is the most objective indicator of a used camera's condition, but it doesn't tell the whole story. Check these too before you buy.
How shutter count gets written into the photo file differs by manufacturer, which is why results can vary.
These are general tendencies β exceptions exist even within the same brand depending on model and firmware version.
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 β worth factoring into price negotiations or a purchase decision.
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.
No. Analysis happens entirely in your browser with nothing sent to a server β your photo and the data inside it are never stored anywhere.
A routine sensor cleaning does not reset it. However, if the shutter unit itself is replaced during a repair, the count may restart from zero or begin a new value.
Mirrorless bodies that rely heavily on the electronic shutter often only count mechanical shutter actuations, so the number can read lower than actual shots taken β or show nothing at all if electronic shutter was used exclusively.
This tool simply reads the value the camera manufacturer wrote into the photo file, which generally matches what manufacturer software reports. Refurbished or modified units are a rare exception where the value may not reflect actual usage.
