description: Use Roboflow to organize, label, prepare, version & host datasets for training YOLOv5 models. Upload via UI, API, or Python, making versions with custom preprocessing and offline augmentation. Export in YOLOv5 format and access custom training tutorials. Use active learning to improve model deployments.
You can now use Roboflow to organize, label, prepare, version, and host your datasets for training YOLOv5 🚀 models. Roboflow is free to use with YOLOv5 if you make your workspace public.
Roboflow users can use Ultralytics under the [AGPL license](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/LICENSE) or procure an [Enterprise license](https://ultralytics.com/license) directly from Ultralytics. Be aware that Roboflow does **not** provide Ultralytics licenses, and it is the responsibility of the user to ensure appropriate licensing.
You can upload your data to Roboflow via [web UI](https://docs.roboflow.com/adding-data), [rest API](https://docs.roboflow.com/adding-data/upload-api), or [python](https://docs.roboflow.com/python).
You can make versions of your dataset with different preprocessing and offline augmentation options. YOLOv5 does online augmentations natively, so be intentional when layering Roboflow's offline augs on top.
We have released a custom training tutorial demonstrating all of the above capabilities. You can access the code here:

The real world is messy and your model will invariably encounter situations your dataset didn't anticipate. Using [active learning](https://blog.roboflow.com/what-is-active-learning/) is an important strategy to iteratively improve your dataset and model. With the Roboflow and YOLOv5 integration, you can quickly make improvements on your model deployments by using a battle tested machine learning pipeline.
