Frequently Asked Questions
What types of black and white images work best with colorization?
Most black and white photographs can be colorized effectively, but images with good contrast, clear subjects, and reasonable resolution produce the best results. Historical photographs, family portraits, landscape images, and architectural photos typically colorize beautifully. Very low contrast images or heavily damaged photos may still be colorized but might require additional restoration first for optimal results.
How accurate are the colors in colorized images?
The AI applies colors based on what would be most likely and natural for the objects in the image. For example, it knows that grass is typically green and skies are blue. However, for items where color could vary (like clothing, cars, or decorative objects), the AI makes educated guesses. For historically significant images where color accuracy is crucial, you may want to provide reference materials to guide the AI's choices.
Can I colorize any black and white image?
Yes, you can colorize virtually any black and white image, including historical photographs, scanned documents, or even artistic black and white photography. The technology works on portraits, landscapes, urban scenes, and more. Even images that were intentionally created in black and white can be given new life through colorization, offering a fresh perspective on familiar visuals.
Will colorization affect the quality or details of my original image?
Our colorization process is designed to preserve all the details, textures, and sharpness of your original image while adding color. The technology doesn't blur details or reduce quality. In fact, many users find that colorization can actually make certain details more noticeable by adding the dimension of color that helps distinguish between different elements in the photograph.
How many credits does colorization cost?
Each image colorization operation costs 1 credit. You can view your remaining credits in your account dashboard. The credit cost is the same regardless of the image size or complexity.
