Bria Fibo Edit Colorize API

Bria Fibo Edit Colorize is a image-to-image AI model by bria. On ModelRunner it runs through a REST API or via MCP from any AI assistant, at $0.04 per image.

# Submit a request to the queue. Input fields go at the top level of the
# body. The optional reserved "metadata" object holds your own flat string
# tags — stored on the request, never sent to the model; filter later with
# GET https://queue.modelrunner.run/requests?metadata=<url-encoded JSON>.

Use Bria Fibo Edit Colorize from Claude & Cursor (MCP)

Point Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client at the ModelRunner MCP server and Bria Fibo Edit Colorize becomes a tool your assistant can call directly — it authorizes via OAuth (no API key in config) and runs this model with the run_model tool using the endpoint bria/fibo-edit/colorize.

MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "modelrunner": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.modelrunner.run/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http modelrunner https://mcp.modelrunner.run/mcp

Then ask your assistant, for example: “Run bria/fibo-edit/colorize on ModelRunner to generate image”. MCP setup guide.

Model Details

Model Details

Bria Fibo Edit Colorize turns a black-and-white or low-color photo into a believable color image, or applies a curated color treatment to a photo you already have. You supply one source image and pick a `color` style, and it returns a same-resolution image with color added consistently across the scene — skin, foliage, sky, and materials each get plausible tones rather than a flat wash. Because Bria models are trained exclusively on fully licensed data, the outputs are safe and risk-free for commercial use.

The `color` control selects the overall palette and aesthetic: `contemporary color` for natural, modern-looking color (the default and best general choice); `vivid color` for a punchier, more saturated look; `black and white colors` for a clean, restored monochrome grade; and `sepia vintage` for a warm, aged, sepia-toned finish.

## Best for - Colorizing old or archival black-and-white photographs into natural-looking color - Restoring and color-grading scanned family or historical photos - Applying a consistent vintage sepia or vivid color treatment across a set of images - Producing commercially cleared color or restored versions of existing photos

## Choose another model when - You want to fill or replace a specific masked region of an image rather than recolor the whole frame — use a generative-fill / inpainting model - You need to generate a brand-new image from a text prompt with no source photo — use a text-to-image model - You want to animate the photo or produce video — use an image-to-video model

## Tips - Provide the highest-resolution source you have; output matches the input dimensions - Start with `contemporary color` for realistic results, then try `vivid color` if you want more saturation - Use `sepia vintage` or `black and white colors` when you want a stylized period look rather than true-to-life color

To run via the ModelRunner JavaScript client: ```js import { modelrunner } from "@modelrunner/client";

const result = await modelrunner.subscribe("bria/fibo-edit/colorize", { input: { image_url: "https://media.modelrunner.ai/example-bw-photo.jpg", color: "contemporary color", }, }); ```
