Photo Colorizer adds conservative, plausible color to black-and-white photos. The colors are estimates — the tool discloses that, and so should you when sharing the result. It works best on well-scanned photos with clear detail, and it will not invent people or objects that are not in the original.
A shoebox of family memories in gray?
See old photos in plausible color while staying honest about what's estimated — the original stays untouched in your library.

FAQ
Are the colors historically accurate?
They are conservative estimates from visual context, not records. A dress that renders blue may have been green — the result says so, and captions should too.
Can I provide known color clues?
Yes. Mention documented clothing, vehicle, building, or material colors, while treating everything else as estimated.
Does colorization replace the original photo?
No. The service saves a new private PNG and leaves the selected source image unchanged.
What does Photo Colorizer preserve?
The service is instructed to preserve the original region and unrelated scene content.
Can edit details replace the service rules?
No. User-supplied details remain subordinate to fixed safety and preservation rules.
Where is the edited image stored?
A successful image is stored privately in My Media for the signed-in account.
What happens when editing fails?
Reserved Credits are released when no usable image is saved.
