Most cameras embed the shutter count in the MakerNote section of EXIF metadata inside RAW files. JPEG files produced by the same camera typically do not include this data — Canon, Nikon, and Sony all omit it from JPEG exports.
If your camera is JPEG-only (rare in modern ILCs), try dropping a JPEG into ShutterCount anyway — a small number of cameras do include the counter in JPEG MakerNotes. Otherwise, the shutter count is not accessible without connecting to an authorised service tool.
The CR3 format is an ISOBMFF container. ShutterCount parses the box hierarchy to locate the embedded EXIF, then reads the Canon MakerNote CameraInfo block. Different R-series models use different byte offsets; the tool auto-detects the model. Use the CR3 RAW file, not the JPEG sidecar.
Nikon cameras write the shutter count into a dedicated ShutterCount tag in the NEF MakerNote. This is the most straightforward format to read and is reliably present in NEF files from all supported models. Both Z-series mirrorless and D-series DSLR bodies are supported.
Sony ARW files store the counter in the Sony MakerNote. On most Alpha bodies the count is embedded in the primary RAW file. Note: Sony A7 III and older models may occasionally require a freshly shot file (not one transferred via Sony Imaging Edge, which can strip some MakerNote data).
Fujifilm RAF files use a proprietary dual-structure format. ShutterCount reads the Fujifilm MakerNote from the JPEG-preview section embedded in the RAF container. All X-series and GFX bodies are supported.

No. ShutterCount reads the value already embedded in the RAW file — it does not communicate with the camera in any way. The act of reading the file has zero effect on the camera's internal counter.
A zero or missing count usually means: (a) the file is a JPEG, not a RAW file; (b) you shot in silent/electronic shutter mode — try a shot in mechanical mode; or (c) the camera model is not yet supported. Check the main page for the full supported model list.
Yes. ShutterCount.app works in mobile browsers. Transfer the RAW file to your phone (via Files app, Google Drive, etc.) and open it from the browser's file picker. The parsing is done on-device — no data leaves your phone.
With ShutterCount, you don't share anything — the file never leaves your device. However, as a general rule, RAW files contain EXIF metadata including GPS coordinates (if location tagging is enabled on your camera), camera serial number, and lens information. Consider stripping sensitive metadata before sharing RAW files publicly.
