- 2

Make it in TelegramWhat the free start includes
On the first launch the bot gives 15 credits. One image costs 2 credits, so you can colorize 7 photos for free. No sign-up and no card are needed, only Telegram. The result arrives in the chat without a watermark. More credits are sold for Stars inside the app, from 199 Stars.
What the colorizing does
The AI colors skin, clothes, sky, grass and objects in believable, moderate tones. Film grain is kept, and faces and composition do not change.
The colors are a suggestion, not a record of how things really looked. Uniforms, patterned fabric and small objects are guesses, so use the caption to correct what you know.
When to repair first
A scratched or faded print colors better after cleaning. The restore-and-colorize mode does both in one run for 2 credits. A blurry small picture may look better after the sharpen mode. Always send the file as a document so Telegram keeps full resolution.
Tips
- Use the sharpest scan you have.
- Hint only colors you remember.
- Check skin tones first.
- Save the black-and-white original next to the colorized file.
