Colorize Photo
What it is
Colorize Photo is a free web tool for adding color to black-and-white pictures. Its Auto mode uses an on-device neural network based on the ECCV 2016 “Colorful Image Colorization” model; the model downloads once at about 39 MB. You can choose among eight tonal palettes and use a manual brush for touch-ups. The tool accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, and other formats your browser can open, and it can process multiple photos in a batch for a combined download. Exports are available as JPEG, PNG, or WebP, with adjustable quality and size. The longest side can be up to 4096 px, and each photo has 15 undo steps. Clipboard paste and copying the result as a PNG are also supported. Processing runs locally in the browser using Canvas API and WebAssembly. The maker says photos are not uploaded, stored, or tracked. The free plan requires no signup or installation, adds no watermark, and has no photo-count limit.
