FAQ
Photo colorization — common questions
Short answers before you upload a photo: quality, privacy, formats, and choosing the right model.
01 What is photo colorization?
Photo colorization adds realistic color to black-and-white (grayscale) photos. Colorize.cc uses neural networks to predict natural colors for skin, clothing, nature and objects — automatically.
02 How does AI photo colorization work?
Our neural networks are trained on millions of color photos. They analyze the content of your black-and-white image and assign historically plausible colors, with no manual painting required.
03 Which colorization version should I choose?
The free version gives a quick preview in simplified quality. Premium models such as V8 High preserve facial features and likeness better, restore more detail, follow your processing instructions and produce the highest-quality output — see the credit costs above.
04 Which photo formats are supported?
JPG, JPEG and PNG.
05 Can I also restore an old photo?
Yes. Colorization models can add color and restore the photo at the same time when needed: reduce scratches, noise and blur, and improve details. You can also choose separate models or add instructions to restore a photo without adding color.
06 Are my photos private?
Your photos are stored securely in the cloud and are accessible only to you.
