Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about colorizing black and white photos? Start here.

What kinds of black and white photos work best?

Portraits, family snapshots, wedding prints, and clean scanned photos usually produce the strongest colorization because faces and clothing are easier for the model to read.

Should I scan the print before I colorize it?

Yes if you can. A straight, clean scan usually gives better detail than a quick phone picture. If you need help first, follow our step-by-step scanned-print guide before you upload.

Can PixRestorer repair damage while adding color?

Yes. The current workflow can improve faded contrast, light scratches, and other common old-photo damage while colorizing the picture.

How many credits does it take to colorize black and white pictures?

Each colorize run uses 0.5 credit per photo. Optional HD upscale is separate and currently uses 1 extra credit per upscale.
