Download Data

Datature Vi gives you two ways to export your data. You can download a full dataset (assets plus annotations in a structured folder) or download annotations only (lightweight files without the image or video files). Choose based on whether you need the actual media files or only the label data.

By the end of this guide

Export your dataset as a full archive with assets and annotations, or download annotation files only in Vi JSONL or TFRecord format.

Download Full Dataset

Export all assets and annotations together in a training-ready folder structure. Best for backups, local training, and data migration.

Download Annotations

Export annotation data only in Vi JSONL or TFRecord format, without asset files. Best for lightweight backups, format conversion, and analysis.
