More than color

Recolor what the AI guessed

Grandma's dress was blue, not brown? Tap it and pick the color. Light, shadow and fabric stay exactly as photographed.

Enlarge small prints 4×

A wallet-sized print or an old phone scan becomes sharp enough to frame. Upscale any photo, in color or black and white.

4× upscale

Share the moment it changes

One click makes a vertical reveal video, from black and white to color, ready for Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Or send a before/after link.

History was never black and white.

Faithful in every way

Your original detail + color = your photo, in color

It adds color and redraws nothing. Every face, crease and grain of film comes from your original. Ungray only adds color, so nobody gets a new face.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

We never train on your photos. Your family photos are not training data. We only use them to improve the model if you turn that on.

Frequently asked questions

Is Ungray free?

Yes, for previews. You can colorize 10 photos a day at 1024 px without an account, and you get 3 full-resolution downloads when you sign up. Full-resolution downloads after that come from a one-time photo pack or a Pro plan.

How does Ungray know what the colors were?

It can't know for certain, and nobody can from a black-and-white photo alone. Ungray learned from millions of color photographs what skies, skin, foliage, brick and fabric usually look like. Natural things come out very reliably. Clothing, cars and painted objects are an educated guess, so treat them as plausible rather than historical record.

Can I fix a color it got wrong?

Yes. Open Recolor, tap the area (a dress, a car, a wall) and pick the right color, or paint over it with the brush. Only the color changes; the light, shadow and texture stay exactly as photographed.

Can Ungray enlarge small photos?

Yes. The upscaler makes a photo 2× or 4× larger with sharper detail, which helps with wallet-sized prints and low-resolution scans. It works on black-and-white and color photos, and you can colorize and enlarge in one step.

What was Ungray trained on?

The colorizer learned color from about 1.4 million openly licensed photographs (the Megalith-10m collection of public-domain and CC0 photos from Flickr). Like most image models, its image-recognition backbone started from a widely used pretrained network. We never train on your photos.

Will it change faces or invent details?

No. Unlike chatbot image generators, Ungray never redraws your photo. It keeps the original lightness channel pixel for pixel and only predicts color, so faces, text and film grain stay exactly as they were.

What happens to my photos?

Uploads and results are deleted automatically after 24 hours unless you save them to your library. We don't train on your photos unless you opt in, and we never sell or share them.

What files and sizes can I upload?

You can upload JPEG, PNG, WebP and TIFF photos up to 200 MB each, or a ZIP of many at once. For video, you can upload MP4, MOV and MKV. Output is always at your original resolution.

Can I use the results commercially?

Pro and Studio include commercial use, for example in YouTube videos, books and client work. The free plan and photo packs are for personal use.

Do photo pack credits expire?

No. Buy a pack today and use the rest next Christmas.
