Frequently Asked Questions
Is my image data safe and secure?
Yes, absolutely! All image processing happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere. The colorize effect is applied locally on your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
How does the intensity slider work?
The intensity slider controls how strong the color tint effect is applied to your image. At 0%, you see the original image with no tint. At 100%, the tint color is applied at maximum strength. Most users find that 30-70% works best for natural-looking effects.
Will the output image quality be reduced?
The output image maintains the same resolution and format as your original image. For JPEG images, we use high quality settings (80% quality) to preserve image detail. PNG images maintain lossless quality. Only HEIC and GIF files are converted to more compatible formats.
Can I apply multiple colors to different parts of an image?
This tool applies a single color tint uniformly across the entire image. For selective colorization of specific areas or multiple colors, you would need specialized photo editing software. However, you can always process the same image multiple times with different crops and colors, then combine them.
Why do HEIC files take longer to process?
HEIC files (common on iPhones) need to be converted to JPEG format first since web browsers don't natively support HEIC. This conversion process takes a few extra seconds but ensures compatibility and allows you to work with iPhone photos seamlessly.
What are some popular color combinations?
Popular color tints include: Sepia (#D2B48C) for vintage looks, Blue (#4A90E2) for cool/calm moods, Orange (#FF8C42) for warm/energetic feels, Purple (#8E44AD) for creative/mystical effects, and Green (#2ECC71) for natural/fresh vibes. Experiment with different colors to find your perfect style!
Does this work on mobile devices?
Yes! The colorize tool is fully responsive and works perfectly on smartphones and tablets. The interface automatically adapts to smaller screens, and you can easily upload photos directly from your device's camera or photo library. The color picker also works great on touch devices.
