What is AI Color?

AI Color is an online tool that automatically colourises black and white photographs using artificial intelligence. You upload a monochrome image, and the algorithm applies realistic colour based on patterns it has learned from coloured photographs. The tool is designed for anyone with old family photos, historical images, or archived pictures they want to see in colour. It works directly in your browser without requiring software installation. The service operates on a freemium model, allowing basic colourisation for free with options for higher-quality outputs or batch processing available to paid users.
