Restore an old, faded family photo with color.
Old family photos fade, yellow, and lose color entirely over the decades. This adds realistic color back — skin tones, sky, clothing — to bring a black-and-white or faded print closer to how the moment actually looked.
How it works
- 1Upload the old photo
A scanned print, a phone photo of a printed photo, or an already-digitized negative. Black-and-white, sepia, or faded color all work.
- 2AI fills in realistic colors
The tool reads the scene and paints in plausible tones for skin, clothing, sky, and surroundings.
- 3Download and compare
The restored photo appears next to the original. Download directly, no watermark.
What you get
- Realistic AI colorization — not a filter, not a tint
- Natural skin tones, sky blues, and landscape greens
- Works on portraits, street scenes, and historic images
- Old family photos and film scans welcome
- Free, no account required
Frequently asked questions
- Does this repair scratches, creases, or damage on the photo?
- No — this pass adds color only, it does not repair physical damage. It works best on a photo that is intact but faded, sepia-toned, or plain black-and-white.
- How is this different from the Colorize Photo tool?
- Same underlying engine — this page is tuned for old family photos specifically: faded prints, sepia tones, and black-and-white scans, rather than any general black-and-white image.
- Will it work on a phone photo of a printed photograph?
- Yes — upload a clear phone photo of the print, or a scanned digital file. Both work the same way.
- Is it free?
- Yes — completely free, no account, no watermark.
