How do I access MyHeritage In Color™ on the mobile app?

MyHeritage In Color™ is available on the free MyHeritage mobile app which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. If you already have the app, you’ll need to update it first to get its latest version.

We recommend using the scanner in the mobile app. This is a great way to digitize your historical photos and transfer them from their physical albums straight to MyHeritage, where they will be preserved for posterity. After scanning any photo you can colorize it in one tap. When scanning your photos, do that in the highest resolution possible for maximizing quality and obtaining the best possible results.

You can colorize photos from the Photos section or upload new black and white photos.
