How It Works

Right-click. Colorize. Done.

Revive runs as a Google Workspace add-on. From the moment you install it, it's a right-click menu item in Drive — no separate app to keep track of, no upload screen. Here's the full flow.

1

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.

2

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.

3

Right-click → Open with → Revive

Or select multiple files and pick Revive from the right-side panel. The Revive panel slides in showing exactly what you picked: file count, total size, thumbnail strip.

4

Click Colorize

Revive shows the cost (1 token per image) and your current balance, then queues the job. Tokens are reserved at job start and only debited per successful image — failed ones are auto-refunded 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.

5

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.

7

Track usage, top up tokens

The Token Usage report shows every credit, debit, reservation, and refund — with a link back to the task that consumed each token. When you run out, top up in any of five sizes (from 1,000 tokens up to 50,000) — they never expire.

That's the whole product.

No separate app, no upload step, no manual review queue. Right-click the folder, click Colorize, walk away.
