Compare the colorized photo
Color makes an old photograph feel closer. AI estimates the palette; it cannot know the exact original colors of clothes, skin, or surroundings.
Enhance.cam Photo tools
Add color to black-and-white photos.
Colorize black-and-white photos with AI. Upload a portrait or scan and compare the colorized result.
Your photo, in three moves.
Start with your original. Keep the result when it feels right.
-
Upload a photo or scan
JPEG, PNG, and HEIC work. A clear scan gives the model more detail.
-
Let AI add color
The model chooses the colors automatically. They are an interpretation of the scene.
-
Keep both versions
Review the colors and download the edit. Keep your original scan for the archive.
Good to know.
A little more detail before you edit.
Can I control which colors it picks?
No. The tool sends the image to the model and you get back one colorized version. There is no way to say "the dress should be red" or "the sky should be bluer." If the result is off, you can try again, but there is no manual color picker.
Does it work on sepia or faded color photos, or only true black and white?
Both. Sepia prints and faded color photos work. The model strips the existing tint and adds color from scratch, so the starting tone does not matter much.
I scanned an old photo with creases and dust. Will that cause problems?
The colorization itself still works, but the AI may color the creases or dust spots in odd ways. Cleaning up damage before colorizing gives a better result.
What formats can I upload?
JPEG, PNG, and HEIC all work. If you are scanning old photos, save the scan at a decent resolution. A flatbed scan at 300 DPI gives the model more to work with than a phone photo of a print.
Will the grain and texture of the original photo change?
The tool adds color but does not remove grain or reshape the image. The original texture stays, which is why old photos still look like old photos after colorization, just with color.
