Microsoft is announcing the planned retirement of the Azure Custom Vision service. Microsoft will provide full support for all existing Azure Custom Vision customers until 9/25/2028. During this support window, customers are encouraged to begin planning and executing their transition to alternative solutions. Depending on your use case, we recommend the following paths for transition:

  • For creating custom models for both image classification and object detection, Azure Machine Learning AutoML offers the ability to train both custom model types using classic machine learning techniques
  • Learn more about Azure Machine Learning AutoML and explore how it can offer support for custom model training.

Microsoft is also investing in Generative AI-based solutions that increase accuracy in custom scenarios using prompt engineering and other techniques.

  • To use generative models, you can use one of models available in the Foundry model catalog and create your own solution for customized vision.
  • For a managed generative solution for image classification, Azure Content Understanding in Foundry Tools (currently in public preview) offers the ability to create custom classification workflows. It also supports processing unstructured data of any type (image, documents, audio, video) and extract structured insights based on pre-defined or user-defined formats.
  • Learn more about Microsoft Foundry Models and Azure Content Understanding (public preview) and explore how they can offer alternative paths for your custom needs.

For more detailed guidance on migration, see the Azure Custom Vision Migration Guide.

There are two tiers of subscription to the Custom Vision service. You can sign up for an F0 (free) or S0 (standard) subscription through the Azure portal. This page outlines the limitations of each tier. See the Custom Vision pricing page for more details on pricing and transactions.
