What is MyHeritage In Color™?



MyHeritage In Color™ is a technology for automatically colorizing photos that was licensed by MyHeritage from DeOldify, created by Jason Antic and Dana Kelley who are deep learning experts and enhanced by them over a period of two years. They invented an original approach of colorizing black and white photos automatically using machine learning algorithms that have exceptional attention to small details. The model was trained using millions of real photos and has developed an understanding of our world and its colors.​​


When you colorize a photo, the original black and white photo remains intact and you get a new, colorized photo that is stored separately, in the same resolution as your original photo. You can then share the colorized photo on social media with your friends and family if you wish, or download it to your computer and use it any way you like.
​​​​​​​​​​​​

The photos are colorized automatically using specialized technology. And it typically takes between 5 to 30 seconds depending on its size and level of detail.
​​​​​​​​​​​​

You can colorize any photo that is already on MyHeritage by selecting "My Photos" from the Family Tree tab and clicking on any black and white photo. You can also upload new photos to MyHeritage and colorize them on myheritage.com/incolor.
​​​​​​​​​​​​

The colorization algorithms work on all photos (even faded photos that still have some color in them). Please note that colorization currently does not use any color information in colored input photos.
​​​​​​​​​​​​

Anyone can colorize several photos for free. Afterward, a subscription is required. Users who have a Complete subscription with MyHeritage can colorize an unlimited number of photos. Non-subscribers will notice a watermark of the MyHeritage logo on the bottom right of their colorized photos, whereas Complete subscribers are able to produce colorized photos that are logo-free.
