7 Free Online Tools to Convert Black and White Photos to Color

Quick Findings

• You may use many AI tools like Fotor and img2go to colorize a black and white image.
• Colorize Photo allows you to manually add color according to your preferences.

1. Two Way AI – Colorize With Deep Learning Technology

Two Way AI used to be ColouriseSG. It uses Deep Learning technology to turn black-and-white photos into color. It detects human figures and natural scenery to color them accurately. On this website, the only way to add photos is by inserting them from your PC. It doesn’t support pasting links.

To use this tool, you upload the photo, input your email, and hit Send. The new photo will be sent to you.

2. Colorize Photo – Manual Photo Coloration

This website differs from the ones mentioned in this guide because you must manually color your images. Here, you must add a reference image and select the color from the image. Then, you must paint that color on your black-and-white image. You have to do this for all your required colors. You can customize the brush size, hardness, and opacity.

When you open the image, you will have a portrait image on the right side for reference. If you want to color a portrait, you can use this picture only. To change the reference image, click on Open present in the right box; to change the black and white image, click Open in the left box.

Use Colourize Photo

3. LunaPic – Coloration Service With Chrome Extension

The result using LunaPic differs from the other online tools because it neither offers an automatic nor manual colorizing tool. Instead, you have to use a color gradient or two-tone filters.

Doing so will add two colors to the entire image. Of course, the colors won’t be perfect or even true to the image, but if you choose the right colors, the result is good.

We love that it has a Chrome extension, which means you can use it without always referring to the website. You should also know that this tool does more than coloration; it is a decent editing service.

4. Media IO – AI Powered Colorization

The Media.io services allow you to colorize your photos, transforming them from black-and-white to more vibrant colors. This tool leverages AI to generate the colors for your photo.

It has a downloadable desktop version, but you will do just fine with the web-based version. Once you upload an image, it takes a few seconds to analyze it and add color. The biggest downside is that you cannot use it professionally because the free version has watermarked images.

5. Cutout Pro – Quick and Reliable Coloration

Cutout Pro uses AI technology to color your black and white photos. It adds natural and realistic colors and takes just a few seconds to complete the transformation.

After colorizing the image, you have different download options, including HD PNG and JPG formats. These, however, will cost you 2 credits. You may use the free download option and get a 435 x 574 PX image.

You may also try its desktop or mobile apps and the Shopify plugin.

6. img2go – Multiple Enhancement Settings

The img2Go tool allows you to colorize an image for free using AI. It is very easy to use: upload an image, choose your preferred settings, and let the AI do its magic.

Some settings you may choose from are nature, people, and Generic. Depending on the image you have, these can improve the result. You can also set a render factor to increase the image quality.

We love that you can share your thoughts and inputs after colonizing an image, and this may be used to improve the service.

7. Fotor – Great for Restoring Old Photos

Like many services explored in this guide, Fotor uses AI to enhance photos. Once the AI has colorized an uploaded photo, you may review and adjust it. Some settings you will access will allow you to adjust saturation or apply filters.

We love that it offers extra features like photo restoration and noise reduction to enhance your photos. You will need to register an account to download your images.
