About this tool
How the color tint works
Colorize lays a uniform tint over the image's existing brightness: dark areas take a deep version of your chosen color, bright areas a light version, and the slider sets how strongly the wash covers the colors underneath.
When to reach for it
Give black-and-white photos a colored mood, theme a texture or background to match a campaign color, or produce a monochrome banner where pure gray would feel cold. Low strengths also work as a gentle, unified color grade.
Tips for the best result
Pair the tint with the photo's existing mood — warm ambers for interiors, cool blues for night shots. For a richer result, colorize first and then add a vignette in a complementary tone to frame the wash.
Frequently asked questions
Does colorize add realistic color to a black-and-white photo?
No — it applies one uniform tint, not per-object colors like AI colorization does. A sepia-washed or blue-toned photo is the goal here; realistic per-object color is a different, AI-driven task.
Will the original file change?
No — the colorize effect is applied to a working copy in memory. Your original file stays untouched on your device, and the download is a brand-new file.
Which formats and sizes work?
JPG, PNG, and WebP files up to 50 MB. The result downloads in the original format with dimensions unchanged.
What tint strength should I use?
Below 30 percent for a hint of mood, 40–60 for a clear thematic wash, and above 70 when you want the color to dominate. Past that, the original colors barely survive.
