Colorize a photo
Sign in, upload one black-and-white photo, and keep the color frame in your Files.
Black to Colour takes one still photograph and lays natural color back on it. The crop stays. You review the result, then download it or leave it in Files.
Choose the photo
Use a photo you have the right to colorize. Do not upload someone else's private pictures, or images of minors you are not authorized to process.
A clear scan is better than a photo of a screen. One readable subject, or a group you can still make out, gives the model something to hold onto. Even light and a visible face help. JPG, PNG, or WebP, up to 8 MB.
Sign in first
Colorizing starts after you sign in and verify your email. Each photo uses 1 credit. A new account begins with 2 credits. More credits are on the pricing page.
If the task fails, that credit comes back. The color frame is what you keep when it succeeds.
On the page
- Open the home page and choose one photo.
- Add a color note if you want one. This is optional. A short line such as "soft skin, muted navy robes, low saturation" steers the palette. Leave it empty when you want the model to read the scene on its own.
- Start colorizing. The button stays off until a photo is chosen and you have a credit.
- Download the result from the page. The same picture is saved under Files, where you can open it again or delete it.
The address you see while the result is loading is temporary. The copy in Files is the one that stays on your account.
Before you share it
Look at the whole frame. Skin, cloth, sky, and metal are estimates. The person, the expression, and the crop are meant to stay, but color is not a record of a dye that was never photographed. If the frame is wrong, delete it from Files and try another scan.
