Frequently Asked Questions
How long does colorization take?
5 to 10 minutes for short clips. The AI processes each frame individually for accurate results.
How accurate are the colors?
Very accurate for common elements — skin tones, sky, vegetation. The AI uses scene context for plausible coloring.
What is the render factor?
A quality setting from 7-40. Lower is faster with vivid colors, higher is slower with more accurate tones.
What if processing fails?
Credits are automatically refunded if processing fails for any reason. You can try again at no cost.
How much does it cost?
Each colorization costs 10 credits due to the intensive frame-by-frame processing required (DeOldify analyzes every frame, ~15-20 min per clip).
Do my videos stay private?
Source videos are auto-deleted from our servers within 1 hour of upload. Results live in your gallery for 24 hours before auto-deletion. Processing happens via Replicate (US) under signed DPA + EU SCCs with model training opt-out enabled on our account.
What does a colorization cost?
Each video colorization is 10 credits regardless of clip length. New accounts get 2 welcome credits on signup; video colorize needs a credit top-up (packs from $1.49).
Do I need to do anything before colorizing?
No. Just upload your black & white clip and click colorize — no setup, no consent forms. Source videos are auto-deleted within 1 hour and processing runs on EU-compliant infrastructure.
Is the AI video colorizer free?
You can preview the AI video colorizer with our pre-rendered sample for free. Colorizing your own video costs 10 credits — packs start at $1.49 for 10 credits, one-time, no subscription.
How do I colorize a black and white video?
Upload your black and white video, click colorize, and the AI adds realistic color frame by frame — no editing skills needed. Then download the colorized video as MP4 in minutes.
What is the best free AI video colorizer online?
Pixelift's video colorizer uses the DeOldify model with temporal consistency (no flicker between frames), which makes it one of the most accurate free AI video colorizers for old footage and black-and-white film.
