Colorize Black and White Photos FAQ
How do I colorize a black and white photo?
Open it here and AI adds color automatically. Adjust the intensity if you like, then download. No editing skills needed.
Does it work on sepia and faded photos?
Yes. Sepia, faded and slightly yellowed prints work just as well as pure black and white pictures.
Will my photo lose detail?
No. The colors are laid over your original, so every detail and the full resolution stay as they were.
Can I restore the faces too?
Yes. For soft or damaged faces, run the photo through the free face enhancer first, then colorize the result.
