The browser uploader works from any computer without installing anything. It is slower than the Compressor app for a full SD card, but for a smaller set, or on a computer you cannot install software on, it does the job.
Keep this tab open until the upload finishes. Unlike the desktop app, a browser upload cannot carry on in the background if you close the tab.
Step 1: Add your photos
Drag the folder onto the drop area, or use the two buttons:
- Select Folders — pick the whole camera folder at once. This is what you usually want.
- Select Individual Images — pick specific files.
The drop area tells you what it takes:
Drag & drop files or folders here, or click to browse files Allowed filetypes: JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF
Anything else is rejected with a message naming the file. Video files are not accepted here — if your camera records video, use the Compressor app, which pulls the frames out for you.
Step 2: Check the summary
Once the files are read you get Selected Files (12,345) with a Clear All button, and a summary strip showing total files, total size, file types, and average file size.
Below that, Upload Details repeats your farm, site, and barn, and shows the analysis:
Processing Configuration: 12,345 images spanning 7 days (7/1/2026 to 7/8/2026)
That date range is read from the photos themselves. Check it looks right. If it says two days when you left the camera out for two weeks, something went wrong in the barn and it is better to find out now.
You may see one of these notes:
- We couldn’t read capture times from these photos. We’ve estimated the date range below — please verify it before uploading. — worth taking seriously. It usually means the timestamp information is missing from the files. The printed timestamp on the image is our backstop, but check your camera’s clock settings before the next run.
- No need to be exact — we read the actual timestamps directly from your images, so these dates are just for reference. — this shows when the range looks unusual (under a day, or over a month). It is only a note, not a problem.
Step 3: Pay or confirm
Click Create Project & Upload. A payment window appears with your order summary and the total to be pre-authorized — or, on a beta account, a confirmation screen with nothing to pay.
See Pay for an upload.
Step 4: Outline your bunk while it uploads
The moment payment clears, a window opens asking you to mark the four corners of your feed bunk, using the photos already loaded in your browser. The upload carries on behind it.
Do it now — it takes a minute and it is what makes your report accurate. See Outline your feed bunk.
Step 5: Watch it go
You will see, in order:
- Preparing files for upload: 500 / 10,000 — the files are being staged in batches.
- Live progress — 4,900 of 10,000 uploaded, 12 failed, with elapsed time and an estimate of how long is left.
- Finalizing upload…
- All files uploaded successfully! Your project is being processed.
If you have uploaded some of these files before, you will see a green line telling you how many were skipped as already uploaded. That is normal and it is how re-uploads avoid doing the same work twice.
There is a Cancel Upload button throughout. Cancelling is safe — you can resume the batch later from your Projects page.
If you try to close the tab mid-upload, your browser will warn you first.
