What Colorize.cc is

Colorize.cc is a web and API service for adding color to black-and-white photos and restoring damaged images. It works with family collections, genealogy projects, memorial images, museum and historical archives, and film negatives or slides. Its restoration tools are designed to address scratches, stains, tears, noise, and blur while improving photo detail. Premium colorization can produce output up to 4K. For more control, V8 Studio lets users edit selected areas, reposition colors, add or remove details, and rerun an edit. The dashboard supports batch colorization and restoration, result management, and access to API documentation. Photo processing runs in the cloud. A simplified quality preview is available free without signup; the preview accepts JPG and PNG uploads up to 5 MB. The FAQ lists JPG, JPEG, and PNG as supported formats.
