📚 This guide explains how to export a trained YOLOv5 🚀 model from PyTorch to ONNX and TorchScript formats. UPDATED 8 December 2022.

Before You Start

Clone repo and install requirements.txt in a Python>=3.7.0 environment, including PyTorch>=1.7. Models and datasets download automatically from the latest YOLOv5 release.

git clone https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5  # clone
cd yolov5
pip install -r requirements.txt  # install

For TensorRT export example (requires GPU) see our Colab notebook appendix section. Open In Colab

Formats

YOLOv5 inference is officially supported in 11 formats:

💡 ProTip: Export to ONNX or OpenVINO for up to 3x CPU speedup. See CPU Benchmarks. 💡 ProTip: Export to TensorRT for up to 5x GPU speedup. See GPU Benchmarks.

Export a Trained YOLOv5 Model

This command exports a pretrained YOLOv5s model to TorchScript and ONNX formats. yolov5s.pt is the 'small' model, the second-smallest model available. Other options are yolov5n.pt, yolov5m.pt, yolov5l.pt and yolov5x.pt, along with their P6 counterparts i.e. yolov5s6.pt or you own custom training checkpoint i.e. runs/exp/weights/best.pt. For details on all available models please see our README table.

python export.py --weights yolov5s.pt --include torchscript onnx

💡 ProTip: Add --half to export models at FP16 half precision for smaller file sizes

Output:

export: data=data/coco128.yaml, weights=['yolov5s.pt'], imgsz=[640, 640], batch_size=1, device=cpu, half=False, inplace=False, train=False, keras=False, optimize=False, int8=False, dynamic=False, simplify=False, opset=12, verbose=False, workspace=4, nms=False, agnostic_nms=False, topk_per_class=100, topk_all=100, iou_thres=0.45, conf_thres=0.25, include=['torchscript', 'onnx']
