Small detail for OpenCV 4.X on windows, the opencv_createsamples program was removed du to porting from C to C++. So if you download this version, you WON'T find it. However, according to this https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/13231#issuecomment-465621445 you can use these specific program from 3.4 in your 4.3 install

I don't really understand why a bounty has been added to this question, Yuu's answer is very close to being correct with a few modifications:

The executable is not called createsamples.exe in newer versions of OpenCV. With any default download and installation of a current version of OpenCV you will be able to navigate to the install folder, for me the right folder is:

C:\libraries\opencv\build\install\x86\vc15\bin

and inside this folder you will find both debug and release versions of the executable:

  • 'opencv_createsamples.exe - release
  • opencv_createsamplesd.exe - debug

Update 1.0

For completness sake I have just downloaded and installed a default version of V3.4.0 from here. All I did was download, and install and you can find opencv_createsamples.exe here:

  • {MyChosenInstallFolder}\opencv\build\x64\vc15\bin
  • {MyChosenInstallFolder}\opencv\build\x64\vc14\bin

It does not provide debug executables.

Update 2.0

I have just completed the same download and install for the most recent V2.X and you can find 'opencv_createsamples.exe' here:

  • {MyChosenInstallFolder}\opencv\build\x64\vc14\bin
  • {MyChosenInstallFolder}\opencv\build\x86\vc14\bin

You can see that only VC14 libs are created with 2.X & VC15 & VC14 X64 for V3.X

You'll have to download and install the OpenCV distribution here.
Building it from the cpp source gave me errors too.

createsamples.exe will be in the following path: \opencv\build\x64\vc14\bin

Look for the file opencv_createsamples.exe. By default it should be in

<opencv-dir>/build/bin or

<opencv-dir>/build/bin/Release.
