Is there a way to import YOLO with Images into an existing project

Label Studio Support

I have a YOLO with Images file, is it possible to import this into an existing project?
If not possible how can I merge 2 existing projects, without having losing the names of the images?

Hello, why do you need to import yolo annotations if you want to merge two projects?
The right way is to use Label Studio JSON format: export JSON snapshot from the project A and then re-import it to the project B.

Since the JSON only includes labels, not images, when I try to export JSON and then import it to another project (the other project is on a different computer), it can not detect the images. I tried to move images from my upload folder to the other computer’s upload folder (same folder number) but it didn’t solve the error of not recognizing. Thank you for helping.
edit: I tried yolo because it had the option “yolo with images”

  1. The easiest way is to copy the entire directory with all Label Studio media files, including the SQLite database file. The path to this directory is shown at Label Studio startup.

  2. You can easily reconnect Local Storage on another machine or to other Cloud Storages, then import JSON snapshot and your images will be available again.

  3. It is highly discouraged to use direct uploads. Read the warning in our documentation: Label Studio Documentation — Import Data into Label Studio

  4. You can re-import yolo export, but it’s tricky:
