## What is PhotosRevive Lite?

Take your breath away with a colored look of your old black-and-white shots. Colorize old photos with the help of artificial intelligence in PhotosRevive. Just drag and drop your image and click Colorize. Adjust your results if needed, and save your new image.

- COLORIZE AUTOMATICALLY

Want to view how an old black-and-white photo would look like in color? Got old family photos you’d like to colorize? No need to call for an expert — PhotosRevive got the tech to help you out! Just add your photo in the app and click Colorize.

- ADJUST COLOR MANUALLY  (FOR MAC ONLY)

If you want to get creative with your old photos, achieve a specific look, or simply know what your subjects looked like in real life when the images were taken, you can provide points of colors to help the artificial intelligence be more accurate, as well as adjust image brightness, contrast, and more.

- IMPORT PHOTOS OR SCAN

Import photos you want to colorize from your on-device library (you can add files from Photos or Finder) or use the app’s built-in scanner to scan the image directly into PhotosRevive. You can also explore the app’s sample library while you are getting started with the tool.

- USE ON MAC OR IOS

PhotosRevive is available both on your Mac and iOS devices (iPhone or iPad). This way, you can colorize your black-and-white images even when you aren’t in front of your Mac. No fancy equipment, only fancy artificial inteligence!

- USE THE PHOTOS EXTENSION

And if you get nostalgic when viewing your photos in the Photos app, you don’t even need to exit to colorize the images. Use the Photos extension to colorize your black-and-white shots directly in the Photos app.

- GET HELP WITHIN THE APP

PhotosRevive is designed so that just anyone can pick it up and use it, particularly if you have even a rudimentary knowledge of photography. However, if something isn’t clear, you can submit feedback or ask questions within the app itself.

### 4/5 — PhotosRevive review

*2025-07-08*

Really enjoy the program. It’s not perfect, but it is acceptable and I do some touch up later, but it pics colors very well and covers thing almost perfectly (it missed an ear).  Worth the purchase price.

### 5/5 — So far working great

*2025-06-19*

So far every photo that I have colorized has turned out great.  Very happy so far!

### 5/5 — Great Job

*2024-09-09*

I have a 125 year old picture and this app made it look so much better. I like what it is doing with some of my other pictures as well.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

### 2/5 — IPhone 15 ios17 Blues

*2024-07-12*

There is no way to send Photos to the Photos app. You can only send it to a Shared album In ICloud. And you have to create it,first. I should have given it 2 stars but I was feeling nice.  Was it too much to ask to put a warning, for destops only????

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! The app uses the default share sheet. The save options in the menu should save the image directly to Photos?

### 5/5 — EXCELLENT AND AFFORDABLE

*2023-12-28*

It’s a very simple application to use, and I love the results.   Bring life to old photos..

**Developer response:** Thank you for your wonderful review! I’m so glad to hear that you’re enjoying PhotosRevive and that it’s bringing life to your old photos. Your feedback means a lot!

### 4/5 — saturation and hue control

*2023-08-06*

I like that I can control the saturation and hues by clicking the color palette and moving indicator points. I'm able to avoid grey zombie ears and hands, something I dread in colorizing photos.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your experience!

### 1/5 — Even for a LITE version, don't put the watermark in the center of the image!

*2023-08-01*

What's the point of having a LITE version is your watermark screws up the overall image?

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry for the frustration caused by the watermark. The purpose of the LITE version is to allow users to try the app before deciding to upgrade. The watermark is a limitation of the free version, but upgrading removes it and offers additional features. I appreciate your comments.

### 5/5 — It's Amazing! Now do movies...

*2023-05-10*

I'd love to use this on B&W video - very efficient for a starting point / you can always easily enhance it how you desire with additional / preferred software.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! and Thank you for using the app!!

### 1/5 — Gratuit ou Payant

*2022-12-27, version 2.0.8*

Annocé gratuit et sappercevoir que l'on a perdu son temps à télécharger une app payante. J'ÉSPÈRE NE PAS LE PERDRE EN PRÈVENANT LES FUTURS VISITEURS

### 2/5 — Naja

*2022-09-18, version 2.0.7*

Die Qualität ist jetzt nicht ganz so toll, ist farbig, aber nicht, dass es bei mir für Begeisterung reichen würde …
