Colorize Black and White Photos With AI, Free and in Your Browser
Add color to old or black and white photos with an AI model that runs on your own device, without sending anything to a server.
Colorize your old photo
Upload a black and white photo and let the AI suggest the colors. The model downloads the first time and is then kept in your browser.
Go to AI ColorizationHow AI colorizes a photo
The model (a quantized version of DeOldify) has learned what color things usually are: sky, vegetation, skin or clothes. From the brightness of your photo it proposes plausible colors for each area.
Keep in mind the result is an interpretation, not an exact historical color. It tends to work very well for family or creative photos; for rigorous historical restoration, check it against real color sources.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I colorize an old photo for free?
Upload the black and white photo to OmniPixy's AI Colorization, wait for the processing and download the result. No account or install needed.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The AI model downloads once into your browser and all the processing happens on your device, so your family photos stay on it.
Are the colors the real ones from the time?
Not necessarily. The AI generates plausible colors from what it has learned, not historically exact ones.
Why does it take so long the first time?
Because the model is about 62 MB and downloads only once. After that it stays in the browser and later photos process without downloading it again.
