What it is

MyHeritage In Color automatically colorizes black-and-white photos and restores faded colors in color images. It detects which treatment a photo needs and applies colorization or restoration accordingly. Colorization typically takes a few seconds, depending on image size and detail. The original remains intact, while the processed image is stored separately at its original resolution; either version can be downloaded. A slider or toggle lets users compare the original and processed versions. Colorized results are algorithmic simulations and may not match real-life colors. Restoration is intended for faded color photos and also sharpens the image and improves detail. Uploads are processed in the cloud, and supported formats include.jpg,.jpeg,.jpe,.gif,.png,.bmp,.psd,.tif, and.tiff. The free plan allows up to 10 photos. Complete costs $299 a year, billed at $299/year, with a first-year price of $199 and unlimited photo colorization. Non-subscribers see a MyHeritage logo watermark; Complete subscribers can create photos without it. The tool is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Photos already uploaded to a MyHeritage family site can also be processed through the mobile app.
