In this guide, we show you how to convert data between the
Tensorflow CSVand
TFRecordformats for free. You can use your converted data to train
models and other models that support the
TFRecord format.
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.
Once your account has been created, click Create New Project.
Next, click "Generate New Version" to generate a new version of your dataset:
You can then apply any preprocessing or augmentation steps to your dataset:
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
Tensorflow TFRecord
when asked in what format you want to export your data. You will see a dropdown with various options like this:
Congratulations, you have successfully converted your dataset from
Tensorflow Object Detection CSV
format to
Tensorflow TFRecord
format!

and train-test-validation splits.
We take security seriously and have implemented comprehensive measures to keep your sensitive data safe
Ready to use your new
TFRecord
dataset? Great!
If you're looking for more info, we have a more detailed blog post about creating Object Detection TFRecord files.
Here are some compatible models:
Yes! It is free to convert
Tensorflow Object Detection CSV
data into the
Tensorflow TFRecord
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.
