Convert annotation formats

How To Convert Supervisely JSON to Multiclass Classification CSV

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

Convert with an AI agent

Paste this prompt into your coding agent

Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any agent with the Roboflow MCP uploads your Supervisely JSON dataset to Roboflow, generates a version and downloads it as Multiclass Classification CSV.

No Roboflow MCP yet? The prompt has your agent set it up first, or connect your agent before you paste it.

Supervisely JSON

Supervise.ly offers a computer vision platform and uses a proprietary JSON-based annotation format.

Below, learn the structure of Supervisely JSON.
