In their own words
MyHeritage In Color
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.
Palette
Palette colorizes uploaded photos after a user chooses a filter. Its web app offers more than 21 color filters, with descriptions and keywords available to fine-tune colors. Palette supports batch processing, and says a simple script can colorize over 1 million images per day. Its API supports automated and custom prompts, reference images, and up to 120 prompts for one image. The documented image limit is 4K resolution and 10MB per file. A beta Video API handles video-frame colorization in SD, Full-HD, and 4K. Palette documents integrations with iPhone photos, Google Drive, Dropbox, and other photo apps, as well as a Windows desktop application from Covenant that uses its colorization engine. Its API platform has changed to RapidAPI. Uploaded files are processed securely and deleted shortly after results are provided. The terms say users retain ownership of images and videos they create and may use them commercially without restrictions. Palette has a free trial credit and plans costing $49 once or $72 per year.
