How to Colorize a Black-and-White Photo on iPhone

Steps

1. Open ReColor and pick a black-and-white photo from your library.
2. Let the on-device AI colorize it — usually in a few seconds.
3. Review the natural, realistic color it applies.
4. The result is saved to your library automatically.
5. Share it from the share sheet if you like.

Why it works this way

Adding believable color by hand takes real skill and hours per photo. ReColor’s AI does it automatically in seconds, choosing natural tones for skin, sky, and surroundings — no sliders to fiddle with. Because the model runs on-device, there’s no upload and no waiting on a server, so even a whole box of old family photos stays private.

Tips & edge cases

• A clean scan of an old print gives the AI the best base.
• No manual work — the point is one tap to color.
• Every result is auto-saved, so nothing is lost.
