Select. Colorize. Done.
Revive runs as a Google Workspace add-on. From the moment you install it, it's an icon in Drive's right-side panel — no separate app to keep track of, no upload screen. Here's the full flow.
Install once from the Workspace Marketplace
Domain admins can install Revive for the entire workspace, or any user can install it for themselves. After approving the consent screen, Revive shows up in your Drive's Open with menu and on the right-side panel.
Open a Drive folder of black-and-white photos
Any folder. Anywhere in your Drive — My Drive, Shared Drives, Shared with Me. Revive walks the folder and any sub-folders to find images.
Pick files in Drive — the panel updates live
Click a black-and-white photo. Click a folder. Or hold Cmd/Ctrl and multi-select. The Revive side panel mirrors your selection in real time: file count, total size, thumbnail strip.
Click Colorize
Revive shows the cost (1 image per photo) and your current balance, then queues the job. Images are reserved at job start and only counted when a photo successfully colorizes — failed ones don't count, so you never pay for what you don't get.
Files never leave Drive. Revive uses Google's Drive APIs to read and write files in place. There's no S3 bucket on our side, no "upload your photos to colorize" step. Your photos stay inside your Workspace.
Watch progress in the Tasks dashboard
Every job — past and present — lives in the Tasks dashboard. File count, total size, completion bar, status, and per-task details. You can leave Drive, come back tomorrow, or hand off to someone else on your team. The job keeps running.

Colorized files land back in Drive
Each colorized image is saved alongside its original, named filename-color.jpg. Sub-folder structure is preserved. Originals are never modified. If you don't like a result, delete it — the original is still right there.
Track usage, top up
The Usage report shows every job — credits, debits, reservations, and refunds — with a link back to the task that consumed each image. When you run out, top up in any of four sizes (from 100 up to 2,000 images), with custom volume pricing available — image credits never expire.

That's the whole product.
No separate app, no upload step, no manual review queue. Pick your files, click Colorize, walk away.
