CVAT PLATFORM

All-in-one data annotation platform for vision AI teams

ANNOTATION EDITOR

Full-featured annotation editor for simple and complex vision tasks

Create accurate labels with dedicated shapes, modes, and editing controls for classification, segmentation, and tracking.

Multimodal data support

Annotate images, videos, 3D LiDAR point clouds, and audio directly in your browser.

Diverse labeling shapes & tools

Use the right annotation type for the task, from bounding boxes and polygons to pixel masks, skeletons, and 3D cuboids.

Multiple annotation modes

Switch between dedicated modes for standalone objects, sequences, frame-level classes, and object attributes.

Advanced shape and track editing

Refine and restructure annotations without redrawing them using snap, merge, group, split, join, and slice tools.

Video tracking and interpolation

Track objects across frames with automatic shape interpolation between keyframes.

Purpose-built tools for 3D data

Place, resize, rotate, and track cuboids in point clouds with projection views for precise positioning and orientation.

Bulk shape conversion

Convert masks, polygons, and rectangles in bulk without recreating existing annotations.

Layers, filters, and canvas controls

Organize the canvas to match your workflow with layers, object filters, visibility controls, image adjustments, and customizable shortcuts.

AI LABELING

AI-assisted labeling with built-in and custom models

Speed up annotation by pre-labeling data with native models, models from external hubs, or your own models.

Segment matching objects with SAM 3
Quickly segment all matching objects in a frame with Segment Anything 3 using a text or visual prompt.

Track objects across frames with SAM 2
Track objects across frames automatically with Segment Anything 2 instead of recreating them frame by frame.

Bring the right pretrained model for the task
Connect any compatible model from supported hubs to pre-label data for your specific use case.

Connect your own models through AI Agents
Generate first-pass annotations with models trained on your own data.

Team Collaboration

Organized annotation workflows and team collaboration

Easily organize, manage, and review annotation projects across parallel workstreams for in-house or outsourced annotators.

Structured workflows for annotation projects

Manage the full workflow of setting up projects, splitting datasets, assigning jobs, reviewing, and approving annotations.

Define labels and attributes once at the project level
and apply them across every task and job.

Automatically split large datasets into manageable jobs and distribute them for parallel annotation.

Track assignees, workflow stages, status, and completion for every project, task and job.

Team collaboration

Highlight and discuss annotation issues, share project instructions, and align on labeling decisions.

Secure role-based controls

Keep your data safe through organization and project-level roles.

Team activity audit trail

Monitor user activity and maintain a traceable record across projects, tasks, and jobs.

Advanced data annotation QA

Catch labeling errors before they reach your training set with a comprehensive set of manual and automated validation tools.

Benchmark jobs against Ground Truth.
Automatically spot missing or extra annotations and label mismatches by comparing regular jobs against validated Ground Truth jobs.

Resolve ambiguity through consensus.
Reduce individual bias in ambiguous cases by automatically comparing independent annotations and flagging disagreements for review.

Review and resolve annotation issues.
Use Review mode to open issues on specific objects or frame regions, discuss corrections, and return jobs for rework.

Immediate Job Feedback. Give job assignees an instant quality score upon completion, so below-threshold work can be corrected immediately.

Analytics

Annotation analytics and reporting

Get insights into your labeling team's performance. Spot bottlenecks and balance workloads to keep dataset delivery on track.

Measure time and annotation speed

Track total working time and average annotation speed to estimate effort and understand labeling throughput.

Find workflow bottlenecks

Break down activity by assignee, workflow stage, job status, and date to see where work slows down or waits for the next handoff.

Analyze annotation output

Review object counts by label and annotation type, along with tracks, keyframes, and interpolation rates, to understand dataset composition and labeling progress.

Export data for deeper analysis

Export annotation statistics and event data for custom reporting and analysis.

CASE STUDY

USA

“CVAT is central to our annotation pipeline for two reasons: SAM-powered labeling that saves critical time for busy surgeons, and multi-user access that enables seamless collaboration for researchers across continents.”

CANADA

“The reason I chose CVAT is because whenever I had a question or an issue, I got a quick response from the team. Unlike other tools, the team behind CVAT was always listening and willing to work with me. The labeling platform is great and user-friendly, but it's the team behind it that makes the difference.”

GERMANY

“I love CVAT because it's so hands-on, simple and straightforward. We tried other well-known tools before, but there was a lot of friction when we tried to get them up and running, and the UI was harder to work with.”

NETHERLANDS

“The biggest win for us is the model-assisted annotation loop. We run YOLO and SAM2 pre-annotation directly through CVAT Online, so the work is mostly verifying and correcting rather than labeling from scratch. For a small operation producing the computer-vision training data behind our product, that's the difference between a dataset taking weeks versus days.”

COMMUNITY VOICE

“We have a dedicated annotation team within our company, comprising over 50 annotators. For the past four years, we have been using self-hosted CVAT, which has been functioning exceptionally well. Recently, we acquired a project that requires annotating approximately 1 million images and videos monthly. We tried various tools, such as Supervisely, Label Studio etc, especially for video annotation, but CVAT remains the best option.”

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Why AI teams choose CVAT for labeling their data

4.6/5

CVAT helped me build an AI-powered inventory counting solution for warehouse operations. The annotation workflow was efficient, and it made it much easier to create high-quality training data for accurate object detection and counting.

Sukanya Suman Kalyan

Azure Data Engineer

We selected CVAT after evaluating several options and determined it was the best fit for our instance segmentation workflows. Features such as automatic bordering and bitmap visualization help us improve annotation quality while maintaining high productivity.

Jorge Rojas

Ph.D. Candidate & Research Assistant

SIYTE is an AI-powered intelligence platform connecting cameras, sensors and systems with CVAT playing an instrumental role in supporting our data annotation and model training function. CVAT is a reliable and easy to use tool that genuinely supports how our teams build and refine computer vision models.

Jamie Gale

Chief Technology Officer

At Dragonfly AI we help brands measure creative effectiveness of marketing materials e.g. packaging, advertisements etc. using patented AI. CVAT helps us efficiently track attention-critical areas in video ads and feed structured annotation data into our proprietary attention measurement algorithm. The platform is straightforward, reliable, and fits naturally into our workflow.

Will Champion

Customer Success Executive

We began our AI journey with CVAT because, at the time, it was the only solution truly bridging the gap between raw data capture and practical model training workflows. Years later, it continues to be a foundational part of our pipeline thanks to its robustness, flexibility, and deep alignment with real-world computer vision development needs.

Maikel Boerebach

Business Development Manager

We chose CVAT for its strong balance of capability and cost control. It allows us to build and manage our annotation workflows without unnecessary overhead.
