What it is

LabelME is a web-based tool that allows users to annotate images with object labels and segmentation masks, facilitating the creation of labeled datasets for machine learning tasks.

LabelME stands out as a flexible, open-source tool specifically designed for creating labeled datasets with object labels and segmentation masks, making it ideal for research and educational projects.

When it fits — and when it doesn’t

A good fit for

  • Research teams needing a flexible tool to annotate image datasets with object labels and segmentation masks

  • Educational projects that require hands-on experience in creating labeled datasets

Look elsewhere if

  • Teams requiring real-time annotation capabilities or integration into existing cloud services

  • Projects that need high-throughput data labeling for large-scale production environments

Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

  1. 01

    Limited documentation and support resources

    Primary documentation is limited to basic usage examples; extensive troubleshooting information is scarce.

  2. 02

    Performance issues with large datasets

    Web-based interface can become unresponsive or slow when handling a high volume of images or annotations.

  3. 03

    Limited integration options beyond Python ecosystem

    Primary support and development focus is on Python, with limited official SDKs for other languages.

What it does well

  • Web-based interface for image annotation

  • Supports object labels and segmentation masks

  • Flexible data export formats
