ShutterCount.org

The tool reads EXIF metadata from an original JPEG or RAW image taken with a camera and extracts the shutter actuation count directly in the browser. It supports common file formats such as JPEG, NEF, ARW, CR3, RAF, PEF, and DNG, and works with brands including Nikon, Canon, Sony, Fujifilm, Pentax, and Ricoh. All processing occurs locally, so no image is uploaded to a server and user privacy is maintained.

It is aimed at photographers, used‑camera buyers, and anyone needing to assess mechanical wear without installing software. By providing an instant count, the service helps users gauge a camera’s remaining shutter life, using the same wear‑band thresholds referenced in its guidance.

The application is experimental, offering a web‑based interface where users drag and drop files or browse their device. It includes troubleshooting notes for missing counts, such as using unedited files straight from the memory card, and explains brand‑specific quirks like Canon R‑series limitations or Fujifilm’s custom RAF parser.
