In their own words
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.
