VGG Image Annotator (VIA) in AI answers

VIA is a suite of lightweight, web-based tools for annotating images, audio, and video, developed by the Visual Geometry Group (VGG) at Oxford and released under the two-clause BSD license. The tools are web applications that run from a single HTML file in a browser, work offline without installation, and support features like bounding-box annotations, timelines, and shared/collaborative projects across multiple variants. The suite includes VIA3, VIA2, LISA and other variants (VVT, SignDB Annotator, VASA, SUNO, LISA Manga), plus a Python package (python-via) and a Version File Store for sharing projects, with demonstrations and downloadable releases available.
