Announcing Interactive Photo Colorizer

If you want to bring back the color of your grayscale photos automatically, but you're concerned about sending them to the cloud, you can check out Interactive Photo Colorizer: a completely offline AI-based automatic image colorizer, 

It also allows you to choose what colors to use to make your colorized photos more personalized:

There are two full binaries, one for Windows and one for native macOS ARM64. This means that any device with an Apple Silicon chip (M1, M2, etc) should also be able to run it. This includes the Mac Mini (2020), MacBook Air(2020), MacBook Pro(2020), iMac(2021), etc. Note that this version will not run on any Intel Macs, only ARM64 devices are supported in the macOS build. 

If you want to use this in Linux, you can run the Windows build through wine, and it will work. There is also a demo version for each build with some limited functionality, it shows only half of the image converted to color, and it doesn't provide the ability to pick your own colors.

Here are the highlights:

• Offline: Everything is done locally, so no internet connection is required
• AI-based: Once you load an image, the software uses AI to estimate the best colors for your image. If you like it you can stop there. If it needs some tweaking, you can click and select color seeds that the software will use to automatically colorize the entire image
• CPU: The software is optimized for CPU processing, so there's no need to have an expensive graphics card(GPU) in your computer. This means the software can run on pretty much any device
• Full resolution output: You can save the colorized image as a png file at full original resolution
• Unlimited images: There are no subscriptions or extra fees per image. You can use the software with as many images as you want
• Pay once: You only pay once and can use it forever on any number of machines you own, with free access to new versions of the software
