Drop a photo into the black to colour converter
One clear photo. Faces, clothing, and the room around them take on colour. The original crop stays put.
Colour is estimated from the scene. Skin, fabric, sky, and metal are guided, not guaranteed. Review the full frame before you share it.

Colour returns in the same frame
Drag the split. The left side is the black-and-white plate. The right side is the colour already in the photograph — a preview of the frame, not a generated result.
Studio portrait
Skin and clothing come back. The face stays the same person.
City daylight
Sky, cloth, and the street pick up colour without restaging the shot.

Let the model read the scene
It reads faces, fabric, sky, and light, then lays colour back on the same pixels.

A black-and-white photo. A full-colour frame.
The photograph stays. The pigment comes back.
Black to Colour keeps the photograph and puts the pigment back: skin, cloth, sky, and the room around it. It does not redraw the person, change the crop, or invent a new scene.
Better photos. Better colour.

Black to colour questions
Is black to colour free?
Yes — you can try black to colour online free. Two photos are free when you sign up, no card needed. After that each photo costs one credit, and credits are a one-time purchase rather than a subscription.
Can I use the black to colour converter online?
Yes. The converter runs in any modern browser on phone or desktop, so there is nothing to install. You may also see it written as black to color — same tool, American spelling.
What do I upload?
One black-and-white or faded photo: JPG, PNG, or WebP, up to 8 MB. A clear scan beats a photo of a screen.
Will the face stay the same?
The frame stays. Colour is added on top. Identity, expression, and crop are not meant to change. Review the result before you share it.
What kind of colour should I expect?
Natural skin, cloth, sky, and surroundings. Exact historical colours are an estimate when the original pigments were never recorded.
Which photos should I avoid?
Use photos you have the right to colourise. Do not upload someone else's private pictures, or images of minors you are not authorised to process.
