UniFab Video Colorizer AI uses deep learning to convert black-and-white video to color automatically, without manual grading. The AI analyzes objects, faces, skin tones, and lighting in each frame to apply natural, historically plausible colors.
A temporal-consistency engine maintains color between frames for flicker-free results. Colorize 8mm family memories, classic 16mm films, or archival footage on your PC while retaining the original resolution, grain, and texture.

Four color styles and multi-scene video colorization
Choose from four built-in color styles: vivid cinema, muted documentary, warm nostalgia, or a customizable look. Preview each style on a reference frame before choosing the color direction for your video.
Multi-scene video colorization detects scene cuts and rebalances the color map for each segment. This keeps transitions between indoor and outdoor shots, close-ups, and landscapes consistent without frame-by-frame manual grading.
Free trial with no watermarks or compression.
UniFab goes beyond black-and-white video colorization by applying AI color correction in the same process. It revives faded pigments, adjusts white balance, and rebalances hues in degraded footage. It can also restore natural skin tones and lighting in faded color films.
For a full cinematic restoration, pair the video colorizer with UniFab HDR Upconverter AI: colorize video first, then upgrade your restored footage to HDR10 or Dolby Vision for the depth and contrast required by modern 4K displays.

Video Colorizer AI (Local) runs video colorization right on your computer. Switch on Scene Detection and it uses a Local + Cloud hybrid model that spends a small amount of FabCloud credits for sharper, scene-aware results.
Video Colorizer AI - FabCloud runs entirely in the cloud, so you can colorize black-and-white video on a supported laptop without a local GPU. It uses more credits than the hybrid model but does not depend on local GPU performance.
