Label Studio supports many common and standard formats for exporting completed labeling tasks. If you don't see a format that works for you, you can contribute one. For more information, see the [GitHub repository for the Label Studio Converter tool](https://github.com/HumanSignal/label-studio-converter).

### ASR_MANIFEST

Export audio transcription labels for automatic speech recognition as the JSON manifest format expected by [NVIDIA NeMo models](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/nemo/user-guide/docs/en/stable/core/core.html). Supports audio transcription labeling projects that use the `Audio` tag with the `TextArea` tag.

### Brush labels to NumPy and PNG
### BrushLabels to NumPy and PNG

Export your brush mask labels as NumPy 2d arrays and PNG images. Each label outputs as one image. Supports brush labeling image projects that use the `BrushLabels` tag.

### COCO

A popular machine learning format used by the [COCO dataset](http://cocodataset.org/#home) for object detection and image segmentation tasks. Supports bounding box and polygon image labeling projects that use the `BrushLabels`, `RectangleLabels`, `KeyPointLabels` (see note below), or `PolygonLabels` tags.

!!! note "BrushLabels"
For annotations with BrushLabels, the BrushLabels masks are automatically converted to polygons on export.
