How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload any photo for color work. Images with varied tones give the AI more to work with for color splash adjustments. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Simple color isolation: 15-30 seconds. Complex scenes with multiple similar colors: may need 2-3 refinements.

  2. Describe what you want

    Type your instruction: 'make photo black and white except for the red roses' or 'convert to grayscale but keep the blue car in color.' Be specific about which color element to preserve. No marking needed—the AI understands color descriptions and objects.

    Tip: Mention the object AND its color for best results: 'keep the yellow umbrella' works better than just 'keep yellow'
