Simple to learn, simple to plan and implement. I needed it for a computer vision project — hand-annotating thousands of dental X-rays with polygon masks across multiple classes — and CVAT's annotation tools made that workflow manageable even as a new developer to the space. Strong value for money. Given the annotation and export flexibility — multi-format support, reliable segmentation tools, and responsive support when I've needed it — the subscription cost is easily justified for a solo developer building a real dataset. I haven't found a comparable tool at this price point that covers the same ground.

I use CVAT to extract data in COCO01 for creating my AI. What I love most about CVAT is its simplicity and formatting. I particularly appreciate the ability to easily draw each contour of the image I want to digitize with the 'polygon' tool, as well as the ability to create as many attributes as I want. Initializing CVAT was quite simple and quick for me.

I find CVAT easy to use, cloud-based, and cost-effective for our data annotation needs. The software is straightforward to teach to others, which is crucial for maintaining a standard operating procedure. Additionally, I appreciate that the initial setup was very easy.
