Are the colors historically accurate?

They are plausible for the era and the scene, not a record of the real colors. If you know a detail — a red dress, blue eyes — describe it in Create using the colorized result.

My photo is scratched. Should I use this?

Use Restore & Colorize: it repairs the damage and adds color in one run for the same cost.

How many photos does it cost?

One run costs 1 photo. A failed run costs nothing.

Which plan do I need?

It is one of the 4 basic tools included from the Weekly Pass up. Free accounts can use their photos on templates.

What happens to the photo I upload?

It is deleted within 24 hours and never used to train AI models, whoever is in it. The result stays private in My photos for your plan's history window.

1 colorized photo per run. Weekly Pass and up.

Before and after: a 1940s street photo in natural color. Made with this tool.

You have always seen them in black and white.

Colorize B&W adds natural, period-appropriate color to a black-and-white photo, with no settings to choose: skin tones, fabrics, sky and foliage, with the grain and detail of the original kept. For torn or scratched prints, use Restore & Colorize instead.
