What Colorize Images is
Colorize Images uses AI to turn black-and-white photographs into color images. It supports JPEG, PNG, and HEIC uploads processed in the cloud, and the maker says results arrive in seconds. The Android and iOS apps can be used free with ads and without an account. The browser app requires a subscription, supports drag-and-drop uploads, and provides full-resolution output. Paid options include $0.25, paid once for eight hours of access, $1.50 a month, $10 a year, and $30, paid once for unlimited access. Subscribers receive priority processing, and the monthly and yearly options also include ad-free, unlimited colorizations. The maker says one subscription can be used on Android, iOS, and web by signing in with the same Google Account. Mobile users can select images from their gallery or share them from apps such as Twitter, Facebook, Chrome, and Google Photos. With Quick Removal enabled, uploaded photos are removed immediately; otherwise, unshared images are removed after 24 hours. The privacy policy says the app may collect uploaded photos, device identifiers, usage data, and information through advertising and analytics SDKs.
