What it is
Palette is a web-based AI photo colorization service and toolset for converting grayscale or existing images to color. The service accepts single or multiple image uploads through its site and via an API, applies selectable color filters and model-driven colorization, and produces downloadable outputs. Users can preview unlimited low-resolution colorizations on a free plan and obtain watermark-free, full-resolution results by redeeming credits. Palette describes its colorization model as tuned for realistic tones and preservation of fine details; the site also lists usage metrics, testimonials, and a company address in Porto, Portugal. The product is available with both subscription plans and one-time credit purchases, and the site provides documentation, pricing, and a short instructional video demonstrating typical workflows.
Key features
Palette presents a set of features for interactive and bulk colorization. It offers over 21 preset color filters and the ability to fine-tune results using descriptive keywords and an adjust interface. Workflow features include batch upload, unlimited preview generation (preview images are resized and carry a watermark on the free plan), and options to pin, organize, and duplicate filters for iterative editing. Output options are governed by a credit system: one credit produces one watermark-free, high-resolution colorization up to 5000x5000 pixels. Purchase models include monthly/annual subscriptions with recurring credits, credit rollover (up to a defined limit), and time-limited one-time credit packs. The site also highlights an API for programmatic access and mentions speed and pro workflow conveniences.
Use cases
Palette targets photographers, creators, and production teams who need to add or restore color in photographic images. Typical uses described on the site include colorizing archival black-and-white photos, restoring family photographs, preparing colorized assets for production work, and rapid previewing of multiple styling options before final export. The credited delivery and high-resolution, logo-free outputs suit professional workflows and bulk projects under subscription plans, while casual users can experiment via free previews or purchase small credit packs for occasional high-resolution results. The API enables integration into automated or developer-led pipelines for larger-scale or repeated colorization tasks.
