About this app

Bring old family photos back to life. DeOldify colorizes black and white photos, fixes faded colour prints, erases things that don't belong, repairs scratches and tears, and upscales small scans into sharp prints. Everything runs on your phone, so your photos are never uploaded.

★ COLORIZE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOS
Turn black and white pictures into natural color with one tap. The AI colorizer brings back skin tones, skies, clothes and faded details in vintage photos, old portraits and family archives.

★ FIX FADED PRINTS
Photos from the 1970s, 80s and 90s turn red, magenta or yellow as they age. Fix fading measures the fade in your photo and restores the contrast and the true colors in one tap, with a slider to set how strong. Sepia and yellowed black-and-white prints come back to clean gray too.

★ ERASE OBJECTS AND PEOPLE
Paint over a photobomber, a date stamp, a stain or writing and tap Erase. The gap is filled in from the surrounding photo, on your phone, with nothing sent anywhere.

★ REMOVE THE BACKGROUND
Cut a person out of the picture on your phone, refine the edge with a brush, then keep it transparent, pick a solid color, blur the original or drop in another photo.

★ TOUCH UP COLORS
Colorizer got a dress or a face wrong? Pick a color, paint over it, and the brightness and detail of your photo stay. Smart edges follow outlines for you.

★ RESTORE OLD PHOTOS
Photo restoration made simple. DeOldify finds scratches, dust spots, cracks and tears automatically, or you can paint over the damage yourself. It then fills each mark in from the surrounding photo.

★ UPSCALE AND ENHANCE
Upscale photos 2× or 4×, up to 12 MP. Small, blurry scans gain fine detail, so they're sharp enough to print and frame. A Detail slider sharpens any photo.

★ SCAN OLD PRINTS
Scan a printed photo straight from an album with your camera. Edges are detected and the perspective is corrected automatically.

★ AUTO FIRST
Open a photo and DeOldify suggests the one step it needs: Colorize for a black and white picture, Fix fading for a faded print. One tap applies it.

★ BEFORE AND AFTER
Compare the original and the restored photo with a slider, then share a before-and-after card with family and friends.

★ FINE-TUNE YOUR RESULT
Crop, rotate and straighten. Adjust exposure, contrast, warmth, color intensity and detail while you watch the photo change. Revisit everything in My Restorations.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Colorization, fading fix, erasing, repair and upscaling run entirely on your device. DeOldify never uploads your photos. The app uses the internet only to download the colorization model once, and for ads, consent and optional Google Play purchases. The print scanner is provided by Google Play services. Saved photos carry a note in their metadata that says they were edited with AI.

FREE TO USE
Colorizing, Fix fading, saving and sharing are free. Touch up colors is free. Free users get one Repair, Erase, Remove background and Upscale every day, and can watch a short ad for more. DeOldify Plus is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It removes all ads and makes Repair, Erase, Remove background and Upscale unlimited.

Great for genealogy and family history, grandparents' wedding photos, old military portraits, vintage postcards, faded holiday snapshots and any picture you want to see at its best again.

Generated colors are automated estimates and may not match the original historical colors.

Ratings and reviews

I like this app it colours black and white photos. Thats it. There is no bloat. Adverts yes but not intrusive. Best bit its free. Of all the colouring apps I have tried and paid for (silly boy) this is the best. :):):)

It is a yellowish gold and the contrast is so high yellow turns into red really sorry man I cannot find one of these programs that really works only one it actually gives you three four different colors in one image. I've tried seven different programs I was hoping this was it

Lots of ad's but it's worth it. The coloured image looks great. It's free and works better than the paid one I was considering.

What’s new

Easier to use at large text sizes: the editor header and the home tools no longer cut off or break across lines. Pressing back in the editor now asks before discarding your unsaved edits. Purchase messages are now translated, and people outside Europe see better-matched ads.
