## What is Colorize?

Brought to you by the developer who built the smartest photo scanner app, Photomyne is proud to now also offer an AI-powered B&W colorization app that will blow you away. It’s one of the most accurate old photo colorization apps - the results will amaze you.

IT’S AUTOMATIC - JUST ADD B&W PHOTOS:
1. Scan a B&W photo or upload one from your camera roll
2. Just a single tap automatically adds color to your monochromatic photo
3. All done - browse the gallery of your colorized photos

Turn monochromatic old photos into vibrant photo memories full of life and color in just seconds with accurate AI photo colorization.

OPTIONAL IN-APP UPGRADE:
The first few photos are free. For unlimited use, consider purchasing an optional paid plan (in-app purchase). 
Here are the premium features you get with a paid plan:
* Unlimited B&W colorization
* Unlimited photo saving and sharing
* Photo backup and access on other devices and online.

The app offers an optional paid plan via monthly/yearly auto-renewing subscriptions**, as well as a One-Time plan which is paid for by a single upfront payment (valid for 2 years). These offer unlimited access to the premium mentioned above.

**Payment will be charged to your App Store account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription will automatically renew itself unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal by going to your Account Settings in the App Store. If offered, if you choose to use our free trial, any unused portion of the free trial period will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription to that publication, where applicable.

### 5/5 — Irajfana

*2026-05-09, version 3.10*

Hi there please review this app for me thank you

### 5/5 — J’aime beaucoup et j’aime un peu moins…

*2026-04-17*

Dans l’ensemble toutes les fonctions sont correctes. Par contre certaines colorisations « bavent », ou sont trop inégales, trop de rouge souvent. J’adore la fonction d’amélioration des visages. Et oui, malgré cela, je recommanderais cette application/logiciel presque tout en un.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words. Please note that this is not a person, but a computer algorithm trained on millions of b&w photos. To colorize a photo, the algorithm breaks the scene down into familiar elements(sky, plants, people, etc), and assigns each element with appropriate colors. Obviously, more complex scenes increase the chance to get at least some of the elements wrong.

### 5/5 — Bring color to B&W photos

*2026-04-08, version 3.10*

Great little app.   Bring color to old B&W.  Great for Facebook.
