# The AI colorization engine

We believe Palette is unique because:

* It is trusted by professional colorists at many of the largest production companies
* It offers simple and deep customization options
* It takes a fraction of a second to colorize each image (100-300ms)
* It uses a proprietary algorithm developed by a former Google resident
* It is known for producing dynamic skin tones, vibrant colors, and accurately handling details

But don't take our word for it, [read what people are saying](https://testimonial.to/palette/all) or watch Unmesh Dinda who run's one of the world's most popular Photoshop YouTube channels. Below is a comparison of the best AI colorizers.
