Upload a JPG or PNG, adjust the crop if needed, choose a color treatment, and generate a colorized PNG while keeping your original monochrome photo. Open Colorize Image.
Start with a clear monochrome image
Open Colorize Image and select Choose images, drag in a supported file, or use the sample. On a phone, open Settings to reach the same controls.
Frame the region to colorize and choose Natural colors, Vivid colors or Balanced colors.
The model estimates plausible colors; it does not recover a historical record of the original colors.
Review the generated treatment
Select Start and inspect skin, clothing, sky and small objects against the original.
A pleasing palette can still be factually wrong. Keep an untouched source when working with family or archive photographs.

Download the colorized result, or use the available image export options for a single-image result.
Keep the downloaded copy before starting a new task. Refreshing an editor or download page returns to the main tool page; normal Back navigation can restore the current workflow.

How does Colorize Image work?
Upload a JPG or PNG, adjust the crop if needed, choose a color treatment, and generate a colorized PNG while keeping your original monochrome photo.
Can it recover the exact original colors?
No. Color is estimated from the image. Use known references if the historical color of an object matters.
