There are many AI based tools out there these days which promise to accurately colorize a black and white photo or restore a faded photo. Some of them will even do it for free. But ask any professional, and they’ll all agree: If you want to colorize old photos the historically accurate way, nothing beats the attentive touch of a real artist. Forever Studios was the first company to colorize photos for customers like you, totally online, and according to reviews, we’re still the best.
I was very impressed with the artist who did the restoration on my photo. There was one particular edit that required a man who was partly cut off in the picture be made whole and she did it. Thank you, Rita Mathis

The photo editing method that Forever Studios uses to colorize photos draws from artists, historians and photoshop technicians with decades of experience colorizing thousands of photos. While no black and white to colorized photo project can be perfectly accurate without having the actual color representation of the photo being colorized, we use age specific references and historical factual information to draw important color based decisions.
There is a certain beauty in the simplicity of black & white photos. But life is in color. The photos of the past, although taken in black & white show a moment never before experienced after it has been colorized. There are many photo colorization websites that automatically color your black and white photo, but these almost never produce accurate results. That is why it is important to choose a professional black and white photo colorization service like Forever Studios.
If you are looking for a free online photo colorizer there are many utilities across the internet. We have found that if your photo has any damage, fading, rips, tears, or resolution issues, then getting excellent colorization results from an online utility is next to impossible. That’s why it’s always better to ask professionals to help you colorize and enhance your photo to achieve the best results.
Image creation and acquisition, image processing and enhancement, and image reproduction are all involved in the process.
There are many “AI” based photo colorization websites on the internet. We have used all or most of them. Some of them we even use as part of our process. However, we have found that getting an excellent result is simply impossible using AI software. Black and white photo colorization, especially of a photo that also needs photo restoration or photo retouching must be done by a professional artist with editing experience.
Image colorization can be used to restore old and damaged photographs, bringing them back to life and preserving them for future generations. This is especially important for historical and family photographs.
Colorized photos can be very accurate when done by experienced professionals and with the original source material. Colorization takes a great deal of skill, attention to detail and practice to get the colors just right. We discuss with the client their preferences before our professional artists start to work.
Adding color to a black and white photo can make the image more realistic and give it a sense of depth. Color can affect the contrast and brightness of an image. When adding color to a black and white photo, it's important to adjust the brightness and contrast levels to ensure that the colors are well-balanced and that they don't overpower the image.
