FAQ
-
How do I colorize a black and white image?
To colorize a black and white image, upload your image to our Colorize Image tool, select your desired color using the color picker, adjust the intensity slider to control the strength of the effect, and download the resulting image. For best results with black and white photos, try using higher intensity values.
-
What's the difference between colorizing and color grading?
Colorizing refers to adding color to images that lack it (like black and white photos) or shifting existing colors toward a specific hue. Color grading is a more comprehensive process that involves adjusting multiple color parameters including saturation, brightness, contrast, and color balance. Our Colorize Image tool focuses specifically on shifting colors toward a selected hue.
-
Can I colorize multiple images at once?
Yes, our Colorize Image tool supports batch processing of up to 10 images at once, with each image having a maximum size of 10MB. Simply drag and drop multiple files or select them through the browse option, and the tool will process them all with the same color and intensity settings.
-
How do I choose the right intensity level for colorizing?
The ideal intensity level depends on your specific needs. Lower intensity values (10-30) create subtle color shifts that maintain most of the original image appearance. Medium values (40-60) provide a balanced effect that's clearly visible but not overwhelming. Higher values (70-100) create dramatic color shifts that strongly tint the image toward your selected color.
-
Is my image data safe when using the Colorize Image tool?
Yes, all image processing happens directly in your browser (client-side). Your images are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring complete privacy and data security.
-
How can I use colorized images for my brand?
Colorized images can help create visual consistency across your brand materials. Upload your various images and apply your brand's specific color (using the hex code for precision) at a consistent intensity level. This technique works especially well for creating cohesive social media feeds, website imagery, or marketing materials where visual brand identity is important.
