Frequently Asked Questions

This tool uses DDColor, a neural network trained on millions of color images. It analyzes the content of your black and white photo and predicts realistic colors based on learned patterns for objects, skin tones, landscapes, and more.

No. All AI processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your photos never leave your device - complete privacy guaranteed.

The AI model (980MB) downloads on first use and caches in your browser. After that initial download, subsequent uses are much faster since the model loads from cache.

Photos with clear subjects work best: portraits, landscapes, buildings, vintage family photos. The AI handles skin tones, nature, and common objects well. Abstract or unusual content may have less accurate colors.

Yes. Use the intensity slider to blend between the original black and white and the fully colorized version. This lets you achieve subtle or vibrant results.

AI colorization predicts likely colors based on context. Unusual objects, rare color combinations, or ambiguous content (like a car that could be any color) may not match the original. The AI makes educated guesses.

JPG, PNG, WebP, and most common image formats. Any resolution works, but very large images may be slow to process.

Yes. The AI will process any photo, though results are best on true black and white or sepia images. On color photos, it may alter the existing colors.

DDColor produces natural, realistic colors for most subjects. Skin tones, sky, grass, and common objects are typically accurate. Historical accuracy depends on context clues in the image.

Absolutely! This is perfect for restoring old family photos, historical images, and vintage photographs. Download the result as PNG for best quality preservation.
