What Is This Tool

What Is AI Image Colorizer?

Coloring a black-and-white photo by hand means selecting skin, clothing, sky and foliage one area at a time in a photo editor and picking a believable color for each. Eidora's AI Image Colorizer does it in one step: upload a black-and-white photo and the AI adds natural, realistic color, with true-to-life skin tones, plausible colors for clothing, objects and surroundings, and gentle saturation that suits an older photo. Faces, expressions, composition and background stay the same; only color is added. The colors are the AI's best guess rather than a record of the original scene, so treat the result as a believable interpretation, not historical evidence.

You can colorize a wide range of black and white photos, including old family portraits, historical landscapes, vintage architectural shots, and even old newspaper clippings. The AI works best with clear, well-preserved images, but it can also add color to faded ones.

Yes. You can try one result without signing up. A free account gets 16 credits to start and 4 free credits every day, and this tool uses 4 credits per image. Paid plans start at $9.9/month for 300 credits.

The AI adds natural, realistic colors that fit what is in the photo, such as true-to-life skin tones and plausible colors for clothing and surroundings. The results are interpretations, so the colors may differ from the original ones (if known).

No, absolutely not. Our AI Image Colorizer is a web-based tool, meaning you only need a browser and an internet connection. There's no need for complex graphic design knowledge or software installation.

The colorizer only adds color: it does not repair scratches, tears or fading, and it keeps every detail as it is. For damaged photos, run them through AI Old Photo Restoration first, then colorize the restored image.

You can upload JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF images up to 10MB. For best results, ensure your image is clear and of reasonable quality before uploading.

Results usually take 10 to 30 seconds per image.

Your original file on your device is never changed. Your upload and the colorized result are saved privately to your history so you can view and download them later, and only you can open them (if you are not signed in, they are tied to your browser session).

Permitted uses depend on your rights in the original photo, applicable law and the model provider's terms. An Eidora plan changes credits and history, not intellectual-property rights.

Our current tool provides automatic colorization without manual editing options post-process. If you require further adjustments, you can download the output and use a separate photo editor. We aim for the best possible automatic results.

Each photo uses 4 credits, so how many you can colorize depends on your credits. A free account gets 16 credits to start and 4 free credits every day. The tool colorizes one photo per run; there is no batch mode.

Eidora sends your photo to an image AI model with one instruction: add natural, realistic color, with true-to-life skin tones, plausible colors for clothing, objects and surroundings, and gentle saturation, while keeping every face, detail and the background the same. The model picks colors that fit what it sees in the photo, which is why the result is a believable interpretation rather than the true original colors.
