A closer look

New color, original light and detail

Colorize proposes plausible hues, then combines that color with the working original’s luminance. This keeps photographic structure and texture instead of accepting a fully redrawn image.

Check color boundaries, not just saturation

Colors are estimates. A shirt, eye, wall or historical uniform may be colored incorrectly even when the result looks natural. Small color bleeds can still occur.

Preserve what is visible

All editing uses an orientation-normalized working copy up to 1024 pixels on the longest edge. Keep the uploaded file for full-resolution reference.

No forced transformation

Uncertain analysis asks for a mode. A no-op or failed result does not consume a free credit.
