What I Found
Gemini 2.5 Flash Image can repair and colorize old family photos quickly, but the best results came from damaged.
Old family photos are hard to fix because they are not just damaged images. They are memories, and when a restoration makes a face look stiff or the colors feel fake, it can almost feel worse than leaving the photo alone.
Gemini 2.5 Flash Image can restore and colorize old photos directly inside Gemini at gemini.google.com. In my testing, the simple prompt "Let's repair and fix the color of this image" was enough to clean up damage and add color to black-and-white photos.
