Overview#

The Explore page features two tabs:

• Public Datasets: Community training data with image previews
• Public Projects: Complete experiments containing trained models

Official Ultralytics content (e.g., @ultralytics projects and datasets) is pinned to the top of results.

Tabs#

The Explore page uses a tabbed interface with Datasets and Projects tabs. Each tab has its own search, sort, and view mode controls.

Search and Sort#

Each tab provides a search bar and sort options:

View Modes#

Toggle between three view modes for browsing:

Cards and compact views support infinite scroll for loading more results.

Content Cards#

Each item displays:

Clone Dataset#

Use a public dataset for your training:

1. Click on the dataset to open its detail page
2. Click Clone Dataset
3. Review the destination workspace, name, visibility, and license
4. Click Clone Dataset to confirm

See Datasets for managing and annotating your cloned dataset.

Download Model#

Download a public model:

1. Click on the model within a project
2. Click the download icon to download its PyTorch .pt weights
3. Open the Export tab to download any completed exports that are available

You can also use the model for inference or as a starting point for fine-tuning:

# Use a downloaded model for inference
yolo predict model=path/to/downloaded-model.pt source=image.jpg

# Fine-tune on your own dataset
yolo train model=path/to/downloaded-model.pt data=my-dataset.yaml epochs=50

Clone Model#

Clone a public model to one of your projects:

1. Click on the model within a project
2. Click Clone Model
3. Select a target project or create a new one
4. Optionally, rename the model
5. Click Clone Model to confirm

Clone Project#

Copy a public project to your workspace:

1. Click on the project to open its detail page
2. Click Clone Project
3. Review the destination, name, visibility, and license, then click Clone Project

The cloned project includes completed models that have model files. Deployments and exports are not copied. Its default visibility follows the same workspace rules as dataset cloning.

See Projects for organizing models in your project.

Official Ultralytics Content#

Official @ultralytics content is pinned to the top of Explore results. It includes projects for YOLO26, YOLO11, and earlier model generations. Open a project to see its current models and supported tasks.

Official datasets include benchmark datasets like coco8 (8-image COCO subset), VOC, african-wildlife, dota8, and other commonly used computer vision datasets.

User Profiles#

Click on a creator's username to view their public profile at platform.ultralytics.com/{username}. Public profiles show:

Follow Users#

Click the Follow button on any user's profile to follow or unfollow them. Follower counts are displayed on public profiles.

Guidelines#

When contributing public content:

Do#

• Provide useful, high-quality content
• Write clear descriptions
• Include relevant metadata
• Respond to questions
• Credit data sources

Don't#

• Upload sensitive/private data
• Violate copyrights
• Upload inappropriate content
• Spam low-quality content
• Misrepresent performance

Share Content#

Click the Share button on any public project, model, or dataset to share it. The share dialog provides pre-filled text for social platforms and a direct copy link.

Embed Widgets#

Public content can be embedded in external websites using embed URLs:

Use these URLs in an <iframe> to embed public preview cards for projects, models, or datasets. Each card links to the full resource on Platform.

Public Content URLs#

Public content on the platform uses clean, shareable URLs:

FAQ#

Can I use public content commercially?#

Check the license shown on the individual project, model, or dataset. Usage rights depend on that resource's license; contact the creator when the license does not grant the rights you need.

How do I report inappropriate content?#

To report inappropriate content:

1. Navigate to the public page containing the content (project or dataset), if accessible
2. Open the Help page from the sidebar
3. Select General as the feedback type
4. Describe the content and the issue, including a link to the page
5. Submit the report

If the content is no longer accessible, use the Help page from any page and include as much detail as possible (URL, username, or description).

Can I make public content private again?#

Yes, you can change visibility anytime:

1. Open the project or dataset
2. Click the Public visibility badge in the top navigation bar
3. The resource changes to private immediately

Existing clones are not affected.
