Pixano

Pixano is a free, open-source tool for exploring and annotating computer-vision datasets, including collections of text, images, and video. Its annotation tools cover boxes, polygons, pixel masks, keypoints, cuboids, classification, and tracking; video labels can be propagated across time. Smart features include semantic search using models such as CLIP and segmentation using models such as SAM. Dataset formats such as COCO can be imported and exported, and Pixano uses Lance storage for dataset navigation. Its reusable Web Components can be assembled into custom apps. Pixano documents REST and Python APIs, along with Pixano Inference, a Ray Serve-based inference server with a Python client and REST API. Installation options documented by the project are pip in a Python virtual environment or an official Docker image. The supported Python range is 3.10 or later and earlier than 3.14. Pixano is licensed under CeCILL-C and is under active development, so its API may change. Three-dimensional point-cloud support is described as planned.
