Bring old black & white photos to life with DeOldify-style AI colorization
Drag & drop or click to select an image
Our colorization tool uses a neural network (ECCV16) based on the research paper "Colorful Image Colorization" by Zhang et al. This deep learning model was trained on millions of images to understand how to add realistic colors to black and white photographs.
How to get started: Upload your black & white photo and click "Colorize"! Processing takes 15-60 seconds depending on image size.
Add realistic, natural colors to black and white photographs using AI. Perfect for restoring old family photos, historical images, and vintage photography.
Our AI colorization technology has been trained on millions of color photographs to understand how different objects, skin tones, fabrics, and environments should be colored. When processing a black and white image, the AI analyzes the grayscale tones, identifies objects and contexts, and applies appropriate colors based on its training. Skin tones are rendered naturally, skies get appropriate blue gradients, and foliage receives realistic greens. The AI even understands historical context, applying era-appropriate colors to clothing and objects.
