    In 1937, my grandpa went on a cycling trip through Germany, Austria, and Italy, then back to the UK.

    My mum made a photo website about it, including links to some hotels that are still operating.

    Some of these photos look amazing when colourised using DeOldify, via MyHeritage. I hope that my mum will update the page soon with the colourised versions side by side!

    Built this interface using the Gradio[1] library. Forked the DeOldify[2] model on github.

      Any chance of sorting out your landing page?

      It's still hanging 12 hours after the original comments here.

    It seems to have been met with the Hug of Death? (I'm seeing a 504 gateway timeout)

    Also, the first link on the DeOldify github page [1], runs much quicker than 30-40 seconds so something seems less than optimal about this implementation.

    It's down. Not sure if this is the same, but there's this page to try DeOldify online: https://www.myheritage.com/incolor

      oh that is so mean. They let you upload first, then they ask you to sign up to see it. There goes one more fake email in their database.

        sorry, fwiw I would not have posted it if they required you to click on a verify link in the email.

        You could sign up to Firefox Relay (Beta) for such a scenario in the future.

      This is by far the best online image colorization I’ve used; it was offered free back in the early days of the quarantine and I was impressed by the speed and quality. It’s not professional photoshopper quality, but a beginner can easily tweak the finished product into skilled amateur quality.

    I clicked the link but keep being met with a blank screen? Maybe it's not optimised for mobile?

      I'm seeing the same on a 30" desktop screen... It sounds interesting, so I'm bookmarking to look later.
