Overview
Colorize.cc is an online AI service that adds natural, historically plausible color to black-and-white photos. Its neural networks are trained on millions of color photographs and automatically assign realistic colors to skin, clothing, nature and objects — no manual painting or photo-editing skills required.
Several colorization models are available, from a fast free version that previews the result directly on the landing page, to premium models up to V8 High, which preserve facial features and likeness better, restore detail, follow user processing instructions, and produce full 4K colorization. Users can pick the right balance of speed and quality per photo.
Beyond colorization, the service restores old photos together with colorization: removing scratches, stains, tears and noise, sharpening faces, and enhancing resolution. It also offers photo animation, AI Portrait generation, a user dashboard with secure cloud storage, and API documentation for developers.
The free tier provides a simplified-quality colorization preview on the landing page. Full-quality colorization spends credits per photo: V2/V4/V5 cost 1 credit, V6.0/V6.1 cost 2, V6.2 costs 3, V7 costs 6, V8 Studio edits cost 2–4 credits. Supported upload formats are JPG, JPEG and PNG. AI colorization is an informed estimate of color, not a record of the original colors, so results may differ from reality.
