about the ai photo colorizer

The AI photo colorizer adds realistic, natural color to black-and-white or sepia photographs: believable skin tones, correct colors for clothing, foliage, sky and materials, and soft, even color across the whole image. Unlike restoration, it does one thing and does it well — it colorizes without repairing, sharpening, or changing the composition, so every person and detail stays exactly as it was. Upload a monochrome scan or a photo of an old print to see it in color in seconds.

questions, answered

is it just a sepia filter?+

no — the ai reconstructs plausible real color for skin, clothing, foliage, sky and materials across the whole image, not a single tint.

does it change the photo?+

only the color. it keeps every person, detail and the composition exactly as they are — it doesn't repair damage or restyle. for scratches and tears use photo restoration.

can i colorize a phone photo of an old print?+

yes. take a straight-on, well-lit photo of the print (avoid glare) and upload it — a scan works even better.

do i need an account?+

no. you can buy a one-time pass with just a card — the pass lives in your browser. if you later create a free selfielab account, any unused conversions convert into studio credits.

is this a subscription?+

no. passes are a single one-time payment. your conversions never expire and there is nothing to cancel.

what happens to my photo?+

your photo is uploaded securely, used for this conversion, and isn't shared or used to train models. you own the result.

what resolution do i get?+

full-resolution output, no watermark. every conversion is yours to download and post anywhere.
