What it does

Colourisation estimates plausible tones from context — skin, sky, foliage, fabric, wood — instead of saturating the frame uniformly.

Getting the best result

Historical photos colourise most convincingly when the original is sharp and evenly lit.

Common questions

What does the Image Colorizer tool do?

Colourisation estimates plausible tones from context — skin, sky, foliage, fabric, wood — instead of saturating the frame uniformly.

Any tips for getting a good result from Image Colorizer?

Historical photos colourise most convincingly when the original is sharp and evenly lit.

Will this change how I look?

No. Repair tools only reverse damage in the source photo — blur, grain, cracks and fading. They do not reshape your face, smooth your skin or change your features.

How bad can the source photo be?

Moderately bad is fine: soft focus, heavy JPEG noise, creases, faded colour. If the face is less than about 150 pixels wide, there is not enough signal left and the result will look invented rather than restored.

Is the result high resolution?

Yes. Enhancement and upscaling run at 4x, so a 1000px phone photo comes back at 4000px on the long edge — large enough for print and for LinkedIn or press use.
