MyHeritage In Color is a photo tool that automatically colorizes black-and-white pictures and restores faded color images. It detects whether an image is black-and-white or color, then applies the relevant process. Colorization typically takes a few seconds, depending on the image’s size and detail. Restoration is intended for faded color photos; it revives colors, sharpens the image and improves detail. The original remains intact, and the processed version is stored separately at the original resolution. Users can download either version and compare them with a slider or by toggling between images. The generated colors are algorithmic simulations and may not match the colors in real life. The service is available on Android, iOS and the web, with photos processed in the cloud. Supported upload formats include JPG, JPEG, JPE, GIF, PNG, BMP, PSD, TIF and TIFF. Photos already uploaded to a MyHeritage family site can also be colorized or restored in the mobile app. The free plan allows up to 10 photos. Complete costs 299.00 USD per year, billed at $299/year, with a first-year price of $199 and unlimited photo colorization. Non-subscribers see a MyHeritage logo watermark; Complete subscribers can create photos without the logo. MyHeritage directs users to its Help Center or a representative for questions, and its access instructions encourage sharing colorized pictures on social media.
