All of the sets below are delivered that way, plus COCO JSON, so they load in Ultralytics trainers, RT-DETR, D-FINE and RF-DETR without conversion. Pose datasets use the YOLO-pose layout with 17 keypoints per box. Before you buy, the free sample trains in one command; our guide walks through the full loop, from the download to a validated model.

Guide Synthetic Data for YOLO Training: A Step-by-Step Guide Train YOLOv8 or YOLOv11 on synthetic data — dataset layout, data.yaml, training commands, domain-gap fixes, and synthetic vs manual labeling results. Guide YOLO Licensing vs Dataset Licensing: What a Commercial Product Needs Ultralytics YOLO is AGPL-3.0 unless you buy an Enterprise licence, and your training data has its own licence. What a commercial vision product needs from both. Guide Training a lying-on-the-ground detector on synthetic data only: D-FINE vs RF-DETR vs YOLO on real footage D-FINE, RF-DETR and YOLO26 trained only on synthetic images, then scored on real CAUCAFall and GMDCSA-24 footage: method, full results, recipe and caveats. Questions ## YOLO-format datasets: common questions **What is the YOLO dataset format?** One text file per image, one row per object: class index, then box centre x and y, width and height, all normalised to 0–1. A data.yaml lists the class names and the train and val folders. **Which YOLO versions work with these labels?** YOLOv5, YOLOv8, YOLO11 and YOLO26 read the format directly. The COCO JSON that ships alongside works with RT-DETR, D-FINE, RF-DETR and Faster R-CNN. **Do I need an Ultralytics licence to ship a model?** Ultralytics YOLO is AGPL-3.0 unless you buy an Enterprise licence; the dataset licence is separate. Our YOLO licence guide explains both.
