Natural colors, automatically
The AI recognises skin, clothing, plants, sky and buildings and colors each one realistically. There’s nothing to paint or pick.
Damaged as well as faded?
If the print is scratched, creased or torn, the old photo restorer repairs the damage and colorizes in one go.

How does photo colorization work?
A colorization model has learned from millions of color photos what things usually look like: skin tones, grass, sky, brick, wood. Given a black-and-white image, it recognises each region and predicts natural colors for it, keeping the original light and shadow.
It’s a fast way to bring family albums, archive pictures and historical photos to life.
