Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about colorizing black and white photos? Start here.

What kinds of black and white photos work best?
Portraits, family snapshots, wedding prints, and clean scanned photos usually produce the strongest colorization because faces and clothing are easier for the model to read.
Should I scan the print before I colorize it?
Yes if you can. A straight, clean scan usually gives better detail than a quick phone picture. If you need help first, follow our step-by-step scanned-print guide before you upload.
Can PixRestorer repair damage while adding color?
Yes. The current workflow can improve faded contrast, light scratches, and other common old-photo damage while colorizing the picture.
How does the AI turn black and white photos to color?
Our AI analyzes the content of your old photo — faces, clothing, backgrounds, and objects — and predicts natural colors based on millions of training examples. It doesn't just apply a single filter; it generates context-aware color for each part of the old photograph, so skin tones, skies, and foliage all look believable.
How many credits does it take to colorize black and white pictures?
Each colorize run uses 1 credit per photo. Optional HD upscale is separate and currently uses 1 extra credit per upscale.
Is there a limit on how many photos I can colorize?
No hard limit. You can colorize as many photos as you have credits for. Each colorize uses 1 credit, and credits never expire. Start with 2 free credits when you sign up, then buy more as needed — there is no subscription and no monthly cap.
