FAQ
Photo colorizer questions
Is this photo colorizer free?
Yes. You can preview and download the colorized photo for free.
Do I need an account?
No. You can colorize and download instantly without signing up. Optionally, enter your email and we’ll send you a backup copy.
What photos work best?
Clear portraits and outdoor photos usually colorize well. Heavy blur, glare, or very dark scans can limit results.
Can I control the exact colors?
Not yet. This tool predicts likely colors from the image. If you need historically accurate colors (uniforms, flags, etc.), use reference photos and do manual edits after downloading.
How long do you keep my files?
We store files temporarily so you can download them. Download links expire after 14 days.
