About this

Colorizing a Civil War photograph adds researched, period-plausible color to an 1860s black & white image — wool uniforms, leather, skin and landscape. These are among the oldest photographs most people handle, often wet-plate collodion with heavy contrast and silvering, so a faithful colorizer that recolors real pixels rather than redrawing them matters more here than anywhere else. If the photo is also scratched or damaged, Museum-Grade Restoration restores, colorizes and upscales it in one pass.

Upload the black & white photo and Stork adds realistic, natural color in about a minute — add natural color to 1860s wartime photographs. Preview free, then pay $3.99 once to download the full-resolution color file.
Will it change the faces?
No — Stork uses a non-generative colorizer that adds color to the real pixels rather than redrawing the image, so faces and detail stay exactly as they were. That's the opposite of generative AI like Gemini, which can invent features.
