Frequently asked questions
How does photo colorization work?
The tool analyzes the tones and content of the black and white image and applies colors based on patterns learned from millions of color photos. It recognizes what common subjects like skin, sky, grass, and wood typically look like and applies plausible colors.
Will the colors be accurate to the original?
Not necessarily. The AI assigns plausible colors based on image content, not the actual colors of the original scene. A colorized historical photo may look convincing but the specific colors are educated guesses.
What images produce the best results?
Clear portraits, outdoor scenes with recognizable subjects like nature, streets, and buildings work well. Abstract images or close-up textures without recognizable content produce less consistent results.
Can I control which colors are applied?
The automatic colorization does not allow manual color selection. If you need specific colors, manual colorization in an image editor gives precise control.
Does colorization work on already colored images?
The tool is designed for black and white input. Processing a color image produces unpredictable results.
What resolution is supported?
Any standard resolution works. Higher resolution input generally produces more detailed and accurate colorization.
