Colorize
A single-purpose colorization utility that pairs an AI color pass with a detail-preserving merge: the model proposes the colors, then the result is rebuilt from the original photo's own pixels so structure, grain, and fine detail survive untouched. The output is your picture in color rather than a repainted approximation, which makes it a fit for old family photos, archive scans, and film-era shots. The two-pass pipeline is slow: most runs finish in about a minute, but a busy queue can stretch one to ten minutes.
