What Colourise is
Colourise is a browser-based AI photo studio for adding colour to monochrome images and removing backgrounds. Its neural networks analyze black-and-white photos and apply historically accurate, lifelike colours with one click. The background tool isolates subjects for product shots, profile pictures, and composites. Batch processing can apply enhancements, colourization, or background removal to whole folders. JPG and PNG uploads can be up to 10MB; TIFF and HEIC are also listed as supported formats. A free tier provides occasional personal use with a daily quota, and a free trial is available. Paid plans provide unlimited processing, all AI tools, high-resolution output, and lifetime free updates: $39.99 a month, $59.99 a year, or $74.99, paid once. Colourise says uploads use encrypted connections, are not used to train AI, and are deleted after processing, with terms describing deletion within 24 hours. The Lifetime plan includes commercial licensing.
