Our AI colorization technology analyzes the context, lighting, and subjects in your black & white photos to apply realistic, historically accurate colors.
How to colorize
- Go to Chat in Morphic
- Upload your black & white image
- Optionally add a reference image for color guidance
- Describe how you want it colorized—or let AI decide
You can be specific ("warm sepia tones, 1940s style") or keep it simple ("colorize this photo naturally").
Two ways to colorize
With a reference image: Upload both your B&W photo and a color reference. The AI will match the color palette and style from your reference.
Prompt only: Just describe the colors you want. The AI understands context—it knows skies are blue, grass is green, and can infer period-appropriate colors.
Example results
Here are some examples of what our colorization can achieve.
Results may vary based on image quality and content.
