JPG, PNG or WebP. Photos over 1440px on the long side are reduced first. Colors are a guess — skin, clothes, and cars can be wrong, and color can spill past an edge.
How to Turn a Black and White Photo into Color
Upload one photo
JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 25MB. No account, and no prompt to write.
Wait for the preview
Most photos finish in a few seconds. If the model is waking up, this page keeps checking. Keep the tab open.
Compare the colors
Look at skin, clothing, and large objects. If a color is wrong or spills, don't pay for that file.

Add Color to a Black-and-White Photo
Colorize a black and white photo by uploading it. An AI photo colorizer fills in colors it thinks fit the scene: sky, clothing, skin, foliage, a car. You do not write a prompt. The free preview is watermarked, needs no account, and is limited per device each day.
The colors are a guess. The model did not see the original scene, so a dress, a face, or a vehicle can come back the wrong color. Color can also spill past an edge onto the background. Compare the preview with the black-and-white photo before you pay. $1.99, or 1 HD credit, unlocks the colorized file that was already made. It does not run the model again.
A sentence that changes the setting, season, or style belongs on image to image AI. This page only adds color.
Photos People Colorize
Family scans
A black-and-white portrait or group, when you want a color version to look at.
Old prints
A scanned print that is already grayscale. The scan's detail stays the source of the color guess.
Already in color
A color photo can be recolored. That is still a guess, not a correction of the original colors.
A different edit
To change the scene with a sentence, use [image to image AI](/image-to-image-ai) instead.
What the Colors Are — and Are Not
The preview is free and watermarked, up to 1024px on the long side. The paid file is the full image the model returned for this one photo, with no ZeroBG watermark.
- Colors are guessed. Clothing, skin, hair, and vehicles may not match real life. Nothing here claims the colors match the day the photo was taken.
- Color can spill past an edge, or leave a flat patch where the model was unsure.
- Faces and small details can shift a little. A dedicated color model is used so the photo is not redrawn from a sentence, but it is still not a pixel-perfect copy.
- Photos are sent in at up to 1440px on the long side. The HD download is the colorized file's real width and height, which the result page shows. It is not a promise of your original pixel size.
- $1.99, or 1 HD credit, unlocks that stored file. It does not buy another color pass. Each new upload is a new preview.
- Free previews are limited per device and per network, and they also count toward the site-wide daily preview limit. A failed run does not use a free preview. A run that reached the model still counts as one try. Repeated failures pause colorizing until 00:00 UTC.
- A blurry photo is a different tool: unblur an image. A small photo that needs more pixels is the image upscaler. Scratches, tears, and fading belong on old photo restoration. This page only adds color.
Colorize Black and White Photo FAQ
How do I colorize a black and white photo online?
Upload the photo on this page. You do not write a prompt. A watermarked color preview appears here. If you want the full file without the watermark, it is $1.99 with no account, or 1 HD credit.
Is the AI photo colorizer free?
The watermarked preview is free, with no sign-up, and limited per device each day. $1.99 with no account downloads the full colorized file for that one result. A free account includes 1 HD credit. Packs are $4.99 for 20 credits or $9 for 100.
Can I turn a black and white photo into color without an account?
Yes. Upload and download the preview without signing up. The $1.99 HD download also works without an account. It unlocks the file already generated.
Will the colors match the original scene?
Not necessarily. The model guesses. A coat, a face, or a car can be the wrong color, and color can spill past an edge. Look at the preview before you pay.
What does the $1.99 download include?
One colorized file: the full image the model returned, without the ZeroBG watermark. The page shows its pixel size. It is not a second run of the model, and it is not a promise of your original resolution.
Does this fix blur or make the photo larger?
No. This page only adds color. Light camera shake belongs on the unblur tool. A small file that needs more pixels belongs on the image upscaler. A sentence that changes the scene belongs on image to image AI.
