Frequently asked questions

How accurate are the colors?

The AI infers plausible, realistic colors based on the scene, but it can’t know the exact original colors of an object it has never seen — for historical accuracy, treat the result as an artistic restoration rather than a factual record.

Does it work on old scanned photos?

Yes — colorization is commonly used on scanned prints, including faded or low-contrast originals, though very degraded scans may need retouching first.

Can I adjust the colors after they’re generated?

Open the result in the editor to make manual color and tone adjustments on top of the AI colorization.
