Questions about AI colorization

Are the applied colors realistic?
Yes. Our AI is trained on millions of historical images and uses period references to choose plausible colors. Skin tones, clothing and landscapes are rendered naturally.
Can colors be adjusted after colorization?
Colorization is automatic, but you can generate multiple versions to choose the one that suits you best.
Does it work with very old photos (1800-1900)?
Yes. Our AI performs particularly well on 19th and 20th century photos. The sharper the photo, the better the colorization result.
Is colorization included in the subscription?
Yes, AI colorization is included in all YourHeritage packs. You can colorize an unlimited number of photos.
