About

March 14, 2021

Welcome to Colorized, a brand that represents a community passionate about bringing colorful optimism to the darkest parts of humanity through unique and high-quality storytelling. Since our inception in 2016, we have dedicated ourselves to shining a nostalgic light on the past to remind our readers of the commonalities that unite us, often overshadowed by the divisive narratives in the news and social media.

Our journey began with a simple mission: to offer a fresh perspective on history by colorizing historical photos, allowing our audience to view their favorite moments from the past in a new light. Using our unique colorizer technology, we have been able to breathe new life into black-and-white photographs, revealing a side of history never seen before. Every day, we post unique stories that provide a fresh look at the past, highlighting the lessons we can learn and the inspiration we can draw from it.

In addition to our captivating content, we are committed to providing the utmost value to our readers. That’s why we offer our colorizer application for free, enabling anyone to transform old photos and experience the magic of colorization. By making these stories and images accessible, we hope to make a significant impact on our audience, helping them learn from history to ensure the best of our culture can thrive and the worst is not repeated.

History is not just about the past; it is entertaining, educational, and inspiring. By exploring historical events, we find remarkable parallels with current happenings, allowing us to understand the present better. As breaking news, politics, and current events flood the web, we saw an opportunity to apply our approach to historical content to contemporary issues. Our aim is to present news and current events in an easy-to-consume format that enlightens curiosity and sparks meaningful conversation.

Our audience’s positive feedback and increased engagement have inspired us to expand our content offerings. While staying true to our historical roots, we now share more news and current events, ensuring our content remains entertaining, thought-provoking, and inspiring.
