Convert annotation formats

How To Convert SuperAnnotate JSON to Sagemaker GroundTruth Manifest

In this guide, we show you how to convert data between the Superannotate and GroundTruth formats for free. You can use your converted data to train models and other models that support the GroundTruth format.

SuperAnnotate JSON

SuperAnnotate (formerly annotate.online) is a self-service labeling tool and outsourced annotation provider.

Below, learn the structure of SuperAnnotate JSON.

Step 1: Create a free Roboflow public workspace

Roboflow is a universal conversion tool for computer vision annotation formats. The Public plan is the best way for those exploring personal projects, class assignments, and other experiments to try Roboflow. To convert your dataset, start by creating a free workspace on the Public plan.

Create Roboflow Workspace

Step 2: Upload your data into Roboflow

Once your account has been created, click Create New Project.

Roboflow's create project form, with Object Detection selected as the project type

Upload your data to Roboflow by dragging and dropping your SuperAnnotate JSON images and annotations into the upload space.

Roboflow's upload page, with a drag-and-drop area for images, annotations, videos and PDFs

Step 3: Generate Dataset Version

Next, click "Generate New Version" to generate a new version of your dataset:

Roboflow's Generate a Dataset Version page, showing the source images and train/test split for a new version

You can then apply any preprocessing or augmentation steps to your dataset:

Step 4: Export Dataset Version

After generating, you will be prompted to Export your dataset. You can choose to receive your dataset as a .zip file or a curl download link. Choose Sagemaker GroundTruth Manifest when asked in what format you want to export your data. You will see a dropdown with various options like this:

Roboflow's Download dialog, with the export format list open and COCO highlighted

Congratulations, you have successfully converted your dataset from SuperAnnotate JSON format to Sagemaker GroundTruth Manifest format!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! It is free to convert SuperAnnotate JSON data into the Sagemaker GroundTruth Manifest format on the Roboflow platform.

If you have between a few and a few thousand images, converting data between these formats will be quick. But, the time it takes to convert between data formats increases with the more images you have.
