Private project downloads
Once you're finished processing and reviewing images, you may want to download your dataset for analysis. Wildlife Insights downloads provide a standardized template that makes it easy to compare data across several projects.
Request a download
You can request a download from your own project at any time. You must have access to the project as an Owner, Editor, or Viewer. All downloads are updated on demand so that you can access the most up-to-date information!
To request a data download from a project, navigate to the Project page, filter the data you wish to download in the Catalogued (or Identify) tab (optional), and click the green Download button on the right-hand side of the Catalogued (or Identify) tab. You will have the options to Exclude blank images, Exclude human images, Exclude images in the Identify tab, and Include Catalogued filters (or Include Identify filters). Select Request data to confirm your request.
Note: Large downloads may take several hours to process.

After you request a download, you'll receive an email from Wildlife Insights with a link to download a data package that includes:
