A modal will appear giving you options for formats to download your data as. Roboflow supports [over 50 different annotation formats](https://roboflow.com/formats).

You can also choose to either download your dataset directly as a zip file or be provided with a code snippet to download the data locally.

If you choose the code option, you will be able to choose from a Python code snippet, a curl command, or a direct download link to your dataset.

## FAQs

<details>

<summary>Why don't my zipped image counts match the UI?</summary>

There are two possibilities for this:

* An image randomly failed to download in the respective cloudly service.
* The image is corrupt or too large, leading to some errors.

Our application only generates the export zip once and then re-downloads the same export if the same format (e.g. COCO) is selected. If you ever notice that the image count is off in the download, you can always create a new version and re-download.

<summary>Are the downloaded images the original quality?</summary>

No. To prevent training slowdowns, we compress images at a level that maintains a balance between training speed and resolution needed for sufficient model performance.

If you're looking to download a single original quality image, you can do so by clicking on a image on your dataset and selecting "Download Image".

If you're looking to download multiple original quality images, we recommend using our [CLI](https://docs.roboflow.com/developer/command-line-interface/download-a-dataset) or our [Image Search API](https://docs.roboflow.com/developer/search-images-in-a-dataset).
