Market and trust evidence
Edition not yet matchedNo exact skills.sh identity match is available for this repository. Repository adoption and freshness remain visible above; install momentum is not inferred.
Trust analysis is a screening signal, not a security warranty. Read the ranking and trust methodology.
In practice
Written by AI from this repository’s README · high confidenceVision models guess at coordinates because a raw screenshot gives them no grounded, labelled interface regions.
Use it when
When building a computer use agent that needs interactable region detection and icon descriptions from screenshots.
Not the right pick when
Setup means cloning the repo, creating a conda environment and downloading weights, so it is not a packaged library.
Capabilities
- Parses user interface screenshots into structured elements
- Interactive region detection with a YOLOv9-E detector
- Icon functional description captioning
- Prediction of whether each screen element is interactable
- Gradio demo and example notebook
- OmniTool for controlling a Windows 11 VM
Requirements
- A clone of the repository
- A conda environment with Python 3.12
- Detector and caption weights downloaded from Hugging Face
Cost: Free and open source

📢 [Project Page] [V2 Blog Post] [Models V2] [Models V1.5] [HuggingFace Space Demo]
OmniParser is a comprehensive method for parsing user interface screenshots into structured and easy-to-understand elements, which significantly enhances the ability of GPT-4V to generate actions that can be accurately grounded in the corresponding regions of the interface.
News
- [2026/7] We add a YOLOv9-E interactive region detector. Its inference-only weight is available in Hugging Face PR #37.
- [2025/3] We support local logging of trajecotry so that you can use OmniParser+OmniTool to build training data pipeline for your favorate agent in your domain. [Documentation WIP]
- [2025/3] We are gradually adding multi agents orchstration and improving user interface in OmniTool for better experience.
- [2025/2] We release OmniParser V2 checkpoints. Watch Video
- [2025/2] We introduce OmniTool: Control a Windows 11 VM with OmniParser + your vision model of choice. OmniTool supports out of the box the following large language models - OpenAI (4o/o1/o3-mini), DeepSeek (R1), Qwen (2.5VL) or Anthropic Computer Use. Watch Video
- [2025/1] V2 is coming. We achieve new state of the art results 39.5% on the new grounding benchmark Screen Spot Pro with OmniParser v2 (will be released soon)! Read more details here.
- [2024/11] We release an updated version, OmniParser V1.5 which features 1) more fine grained/small icon detection, 2) prediction of whether each screen element is interactable or not. Examples in the demo.ipynb.
- [2024/10] OmniParser was the #1 trending model on huggingface model hub (starting 10/29/2024).
- [2024/10] Feel free to checkout our demo on huggingface space! (stay tuned for OmniParser + Claude Computer Use)
- [2024/10] Both Interactive Region Detection Model and Icon functional description model are released! Hugginface models
- [2024/09] OmniParser achieves the best performance on Windows Agent Arena!
Install
First clone the repo, and then install environment:
cd OmniParser
conda create -n "omni" python==3.12
conda activate omni
pip install -r requirements.txt
Until Hugging Face PR #37 is merged, download the latest YOLOv9-E detector from the PR:
huggingface-cli download microsoft/OmniParser-v2.0 icon_detect_v3/model.pt \
--revision refs/pr/37 --local-dir weights
OmniParser prefers this local weight. After the PR is merged, it will download the same weight automatically on first use. Download the caption weights into the weights folder:
for f in icon_caption/{config.json,generation_config.json,model.safetensors}; do huggingface-cli download microsoft/OmniParser-v2.0 "$f" --local-dir weights; done
mv weights/icon_caption weights/icon_caption_florence
<!-- ## [deprecated]
Then download the model ckpts files in: https://huggingface.co/microsoft/OmniParser, and put them under weights/, default folder structure is: weights/icon_detect, weights/icon_caption_florence, weights/icon_caption_blip2.
For v1:
convert the safetensor to .pt file.
python weights/convert_safetensor_to_pt.py
For v1.5:
download 'model_v1_5.pt' from https://huggingface.co/microsoft/OmniParser/tree/main/icon_detect_v1_5, make a new dir: weights/icon_detect_v1_5, and put it inside the folder. No weight conversion is needed.
Examples:
We put together a few simple examples in the demo.ipynb.
Gradio Demo
To run gradio demo, simply run:
python gradio_demo.py
Model Weights License
icon_detect_v3 is based on the MIT-licensed YOLOv9 implementation. Earlier Ultralytics-based icon detectors retain their original AGPL license. The caption models are under the MIT license.
