Pixbim ColorSurprise AI is standalone software for automatically colorizing black-and-white photos with artificial intelligence and deep learning. It runs on Windows and macOS and processes images locally on the user’s computer; the maker says photos are not uploaded to servers. There are no image size restrictions, and each colorized result keeps the input photo’s pixel height and width. Batch processing is supported, while the Color Correction tool lets users replace generated colors with their own choices. Version 3.9.0 adds a red-tones slider, drag-and-drop loading, multiple undo for brush strokes, and reopening saved colorized photos for later correction. JPG and PNG are listed as input formats, with JPG, PNG, and TIFF output. The plan costs 39.99 USD per once as a one-time fee and includes lifetime validity and free upgrades. A 30-day trial is listed, but trial results carry Pixbim watermarks.
Who it is for
