Ungray brings old photos and film back to full color at their original resolution, without redrawing a single face.
10 free previews a day with a free account. No card.
BeforeAfter
JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, iPhone HEIC or a ZIP of scans. Phone snaps of prints work too: Ungray straightens them and crops to the print.
Usually 10 to 20 seconds per photo, upload included. It adds color and leaves every face and detail as it was.
Colorizing…
You get your original resolution back, from a 600-pixel print scan up to a 60-megapixel TIFF.
Hover or tap a photo to ungray it. Real archival photos, colorized by Ungray with no retouching.
Public-domain photographs from the Library of Congress, the U.S. National Archives and the U.S. Navy, colorized by Ungray, unretouched. Photo credits

Upload a clip and see the first 30 seconds in color for free. Ungray keeps colors steady from frame to frame, so skies and faces don't flicker.
Grandma's dress was blue, not brown? Tap it and pick the color. Light, shadow and fabric stay exactly as photographed.
Prints from the '60s to the '80s turn orange or pink as their dyes fade. Restore corrects the whole photo at once, so skies turn blue again and nothing gets redrawn.
FadedRestored
A wallet-sized print or an old phone scan becomes sharp enough to frame. Upscale any photo, in color or black and white.
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.
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.

We never train on your photos. Your family photos are not training data, and there's no setting that makes them so.
Start to finish, upload included. The coloring itself takes about a second on our GPU servers; the rest is the upload and starting a server. Now and then a server takes a minute or two to free up.
Most colorizers stop at 4K or 5000 px. Ungray gives back every pixel you scanned.
Ungray is not an image generator. The light and shadow in your photo stay untouched.

For family historians and anyone with an attic of albums.

One credit is one full-resolution photo, whatever you did to it: colorize, restore, recolor or upscale. Not happy with a result? One click within a day gives the credit back.
Invite family and you both get 10 free full-resolution downloads. Prices in USD; local taxes are calculated at checkout. Cancel subscriptions any time.
Yes, for previews. With a free account (Google or email, no password) you can preview 10 photos and 5 enlargements a day at 1024 px, and you get 5 full-resolution downloads. Full-resolution downloads after that come from a one-time photo pack (same daily limits) or a Pro or Studio plan (no daily limit).
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.
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.
Yes. The upscaler makes a photo 2× or 4× larger, or any size in between, 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.
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.
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.
The photos and videos you upload are deleted automatically after a day. Your results stay in your library for 7 days, so you can come back for them (or close the page while a long video works); you can choose to keep them for 30 days or a year, and delete any of them yourself. We never train our models on your photos, and we never sell or share them.
You can upload JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, BMP and iPhone HEIC photos up to 50 MB each: one at a time, many at once, or a ZIP of scans. A phone snap of a print is straightened and cropped to the print. For video, you can upload MP4, MOV, MKV and WebM files up to 500 MB (2 GB with Pro, 5 GB with Studio). Photos always come back at your original resolution; full videos too, up to 1080p on Pro and 4K on Studio.
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.
No. Buy a pack today and use the rest next Christmas.
