Colorize

Colorize, at colorize.cc, is an online service for colorizing and restoring photographs using neural networks. A visitor drops in a JPG or PNG up to 5 MB and receives a colorized version, starting from a fast free preview and extending to a premium model called V8 High that produces colorization up to 4K with identity preserving face handling. The platform offers several tools in one dashboard. Colorization comes in two types, restoration models remove scratches, tears, stains and noise and sharpen faces, and resolution upscaling enhances detail. Photo animation creates moving portraits, and an AI Portrait feature is also part of the paid plans. V8 Studio is an interactive editor that lets users move colors, adjust specific areas, add or remove details and rerun until satisfied. The vendor says it has operated since 2018 and offers more than ten models. It suits family archivists, genealogists and small studios handling many old photos. Pricing is a one time purchase rather than a subscription, with credits valid for a year. Basic costs $12 for 50 photo processings, Standard costs $49 for 250, and the For studios plan costs $199 for 1,250. Each plan includes two restoration algorithms, two resolution enhancement algorithms, colorization up to 4K, photo animation and AI Portrait.
