What the tool can do, what it cannot know, and how your photo is handled.
Colorize adds AI-estimated colors to a black-and-white or faded photo. Restore improves clarity and resolution. For an old, soft black-and-white scan, restoring first and then colorizing often gives the best result.
The colors are an AI interpretation based on visual patterns, not verified historical facts. Clothing, walls, and other details may differ from the original scene, so keep the unedited scan as your source of truth.
No. You can use the current colorize and restore tools without creating an account or entering payment details.
The tool accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP images up to 10MB. A clean, high-resolution scan usually produces a better result than a screenshot or compressed copy.
Your image is sent to our third-party AI processing provider only after you start a transformation. This site does not create a personal photo library or require an account. See the privacy page for more detail.
Restore is designed to improve clarity and upscale an image. It may soften small blemishes, but it cannot reliably reconstruct every tear, scratch, or missing section of a severely damaged photograph.
