Frequently asked questions

Are the colours accurate?+

The AI predicts realistic colours from what it has learned, but it can’t know the true colour of a specific shirt or car. Skin, sky, grass and natural scenes usually look very convincing.

Does it work on sepia or faded photos?+

Yes. Only the brightness of the original is used, so sepia, yellowed and faded photos are colorized just like black and white ones.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?+

No. The AI runs entirely in your browser, so your photos never leave your device.

Is it really free?+

Yes. There is no sign-up, no daily limit and no watermark on your downloads. The site is supported by ads.

Which image formats are supported?+

JPG, PNG and WebP. Results download as a high-quality PNG.

Does it work on my phone?+

Yes. It works in modern mobile browsers like Chrome and Safari. The AI can take a few seconds longer on phones than on a computer.
