AI Colorizer vs Manual Colorization
AI colorization offers a starting interpretation. Manual colorization gives you control over individual regions. For a black-and-white family photo, start with the photo colorizer; use the advanced workspace below for manga, line art, palettes and color references.

Manual colorization
In an editing app, paint colors on separate layers and refine masks yourself. This gives region-by-region control and takes time to check edges and skin tones.
A combined workflow
Use an AI result as a separate starting copy, then adjust individual colors by hand. Keep the monochrome original and label historical images as colorized.

Answers before your first edit
How is this different from Photo Colorizer?
Photo Colorizer is a simpler workflow for black and white photographs. This tool also offers artwork and product modes, palettes, written guidance and reference colors. Estimated colors are not historical facts.
Can I colorize manga without redrawing the line art?
Manga and line art presets ask the model to retain the drawing structure. Check fine contours and text because generative processing can still alter them.
Can I choose exact colors with a reference?
A reference guides the main subject’s palette, but does not guarantee exact measured color values. Compare product color with the original item before commercial use.
Should I use a palette and reference together?
Reference mode uses the reference as the color authority. For written color directions, choose text mode instead of giving conflicting reference colors.
Which images can I upload?
Upload a static JPG, PNG or WebP up to 20 MB and 16 megapixels. References have the same limits. Use the best original available.
When are credits used?
The server checks the cost before processing. If the quote changes, you must confirm it. Uploading, choosing presets and viewing existing results do not start a paid generation.
Can I process several images?
Batch access follows your current membership, with up to 20 source images. Every masked edit needs its own saved selection. Failed items can be retried with a new quote.
Where can I find my result?
Download the original result here. Signed in accounts can use history according to their retention policy. Temporary guest results need the active session and expire.
Will AI keep every detail unchanged?
AI can estimate or redraw details. Compare faces, text, product labels and fine texture with your original. Keep the original and review the result before publishing.
