![[P] Imflow - Launching a minimal image annotation tool](https://www.tweakedgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/featured-article-6365-300x171.png)
Imflow is a newly launched minimal web tool designed to streamline the image annotation process, which can often be tedious and slow. It allows users to create projects, batch upload images, and manually draw bounding boxes and polygons. The tool features a one-shot auto-annotation capability that uses OWL-ViT-Large to suggest bounding boxes across batches based on a single reference image per class. Users can review and filter these proposals by confidence, with options to export annotations in various formats like YOLO, COCO, and Pascal VOC XML. While still in its early stages with some limitations, such as no instance segmentation or video support, Imflow is currently free to use and invites feedback to improve its functionality. This matters because efficient image annotation is crucial for training accurate machine learning models, and tools like Imflow can significantly reduce the time and effort required.
