Image Colorization API Information

How does it work?

This image colorization API is a deep learning model that has been trained on pairs of color images with their grayscale counterpart. After hours of training, the models learns how to add color back to black and white images.

Is there a size limit on file uploads?

Yes, the max file upload size is 1200px for any dimension. That being said, If you upload an image with a dimension larger than 1200px, we shrink the image so no dimension is large than that.
