From the Golden Gate Bridge under construction to city streets from the early 20th century, every historical image contains a visual story that deserves to be told in color. Ideal for museum collections, educational projects, and digital heritage.

Portraits & Icons

Bring to life the faces that shaped history

The human face is the most complex element to colorize correctly. Our AI is specifically trained in facial anatomy to apply accurate skin tones, expressive eyes with coherent colors, and hair with real depth and detail.

From cinema legends to family photographs, portraits colorized with our AI convey a presence and humanity that black-and-white images cannot offer. Every gaze feels closer, more real, more alive.

Prompt Guide
Advanced Prompt Mode

You choose the colors, the AI applies them with precision

Advanced Mode introduces something unique: the ability to describe the colors you want using natural language. Write 'blue sky, brown coats, gray cobblestones' and the AI interprets your vision and applies it to the image with coherence and detail.

You no longer depend on the AI’s automatic judgment. You have full control. Specify materials, tones, moods, and concrete scene elements to get exactly the result you imagine — repeatable, adjustable, and always under your direction.

How to colorize your photo with AI

Step 1
Upload your black and white photo

Upload an old picture, a family portrait, or any black and white photo from your device. The tool accepts the most common formats and prepares the image automatically for the colorization process.

Step 2
Choose a style or guide the AI

Pick the model that best fits your image. If you want more control, use Advanced Mode and add a prompt with color hints, atmosphere, or specific tones to steer the final look.

Step 3
Download or keep refining

Compare the before and after, download the final version, or keep polishing the photo. You can regenerate colors, try another variation, or recolor just one specific area with the built-in editor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find the key answers before colorizing your photo with AI.

You can colorize black-and-white or sepia images in PNG, JPG, GIF, and WebP. The best results usually come from clear photos with visible faces, clothing, and scene details.

Yes. The maximum file size is 10 MB per image. Keeping files within that limit helps them upload faster and avoids processing issues.

Our AI analyzes the scene, identifies people, clothing, sky, vegetation, and objects, then generates a realistic color proposal. If you use the advanced mode, you can also guide the output with a prompt for more specific tones or details.

Not always. Colorization is an intelligent reconstruction based on visual and historical context, so the result should be understood as a realistic interpretation. If you need more control, you can regenerate colors or edit specific areas afterward.

It depends on your goal. Advanced Mode gives you more control with prompts and local recolorization, Legacy Pro works especially well for historic archives, and the natural or fast modes are ideal when you want an automatic improvement with minimal setup.
