How accurate are the colors?

The AI aims for realistic colors based on its training data, but it's an interpretation. It may not perfectly match the original scene's colors if they were unknown. Results are often impressive but can sometimes be approximate.

Does it work on sepia-toned images?

It primarily works best on true black and white (grayscale) images. Sepia tones might affect the colorization accuracy. You could try converting sepia images to grayscale first using our Grayscale Converter.

What technology is used?

This tool utilizes Google's AI models (specifically Gemini via Genkit) capable of image understanding and generation to perform the colorization.

Are there any limitations?

Very low-quality or heavily damaged images might not colorize well. The AI's interpretation might differ from historical accuracy in some cases. Processing requires a Google AI API key.
