Frequently Asked Questions

Are these the real colours?

No. The AI estimates likely colours from what it sees. Clothes, cars and painted walls may have been a different colour in real life.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The AI model downloads to your browser the first time (about 135 MB, from Hugging Face), then runs on your own device, so family photos stay private.

Which AI model does it use?

DDColor (tiny version), an open-source photo colorization model.

Will the sharpness of my photo change?

No. The original light and dark detail is kept at full size. Only the colour comes from the model.
