Interesting. I tried it with a recent photo I converted to B&W. A sunrise scene over a river.

It coloured the sky bright blue with clouds and kept most of the buildings b&w.

The image looked nice, but not accurate - but I guess that doesn't really matter?

Not awful: https://imgur.com/a/OUOflZY

Artists often leave to much black in the skin. The result here is nice but it seems to have the same problem

Much lower resolution, what was the source of this limitation?

That's the resolution offered for downloads in the free tier. Downloading a higher resolution image would have cost one credit.

For an open source alternative you can use the official recolor Lora from stability in your favorite Stable Diffusion GUI.

Looks pretty great. I also love when I see these kind of businesses. Very discrete problem, pricing that is easy to understand. No other fluff, just the service itself.

Pretty cool -- I wish it was OS so I could do a little weekend project to go scrape wikipedia for b&w images and recolor them. Is this a controlnet stable diffusion recolor primarily or something else? Thanks for sharing

Looks like all the CSS and part of the JS are broken?

Not having that issue here, seems to work fine in Chrome.

Similar for me. Page loads but nothing works.

Not poster/related at all, but loads fine for me in Vivaldi ("6.5.3206.53 (Stable channel) (64-bit) "). uBlock Origin only plugin installed that should impact anything.

For helping the poster - what browser/version and installed plugins were you using when the page failed to load? Does it fail to load now as well?

Will you delete the uploaded images if the user decides to discard them?

Works well with the one pic I had to hand!

I tried it… amazing!
