personRoboflow 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.

Upload your data to Roboflow by dragging and dropping your Tensorflow Object Detection CSV images and annotations into the upload space.

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 YOLO Darknet TXT 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 YOLO Darknet TXT format!
Yes! It is free to convert Tensorflow Object Detection CSV data into the YOLO Darknet TXT 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.
Our team will help you start solving business problems on the first call.
Over 16,000 organizations build with Roboflow.
