Coloroid AI
What it is
Coloroid AI restores damaged and faded photos, sharpens soft focus, and colorizes black-and-white images. Recreate applies a full restoration, Colorize adds color, and Descratch targets damage while leaving the rest of the image alone. The app can rebuild cracks, creases, missing corners, and water stains, while improving washed-out contrast. Users can choose a photo from their library, photograph a print with a phone, or send an image from Photos or another app through the share sheet; a flatbed scan is optional. Results can be compared with the original, then saved as a new photo, printed, or shared with family. The original remains unchanged. Coloroid AI has a free plan; its Pro plan is $49.99, paid once, with subscription options and pricing displayed in the app. It is available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with requirements of iOS 17 or later, iPadOS 17 or later, and macOS 14 or later on an Apple M1 chip or later. Selected photos are sent to OpenAI through its API for processing after explicit consent, and the app says it deletes uploaded images after processing.
