What Coloroid AI is

Coloroid AI is a photo restoration app for repairing damaged prints and improving older or faded images. Its Recreate mode applies a full restoration, Colorize adds color to black-and-white photos, and Descratch targets damage while leaving the rest of the image alone. It can rebuild cracks, creases, missing corners, and water stains, sharpen soft focus, and restore washed-out contrast. For portraits, its colorization aims to give skin, clothing, and scenery colors suited to the photograph’s era.

Start with a photo from your library or photograph a print with your phone; a flatbed scan is optional. You can also send images from Photos or another app through the share sheet. Compare the result with the original, then save the restored image as a new photo, print it, or share it with family. The original remains unchanged. The app is available for iOS and macOS. It requires iOS 17 or later on iPhone, iPadOS 17 or later on iPad, and macOS 14 or later on an Apple M1 chip or later.

Coloroid AI has a free plan. Its Pro plan is $49.99, paid once, with subscription options and pricing displayed in the app. Selected photos are sent to OpenAI through its API for processing only after the app requests explicit consent; the app says it deletes uploaded images after processing and does not retain them on its servers.
