How to do it
- 1
Tap the button on this page. Telegram opens the bot, press Start and the right mode is already selected.
- 2
Send the black-and-white photo as a file (document) so Telegram does not compress it. In the caption write what you remember, for example: red coat, yellow rain boots, blue wooden toy.

Wait 1-2 minutes for the colorized version. Check skin, clothes and sky, then rerun with a corrected caption if needed.
Try it on your own photo: 7 images are free, no sign-up.
Make it in TelegramSmall items, big memory
Children carry objects that matter in memory: a coat, a ball, a bicycle. These are small, and the AI guesses their color. If you remember it, say so. A couple of words in the caption is often enough, and the bot will apply them to the right objects. Send the scan as a file in Telegram so the picture is not compressed, and keep the untouched original in a separate folder for comparison.
Faces and age
Faces of children have soft shapes, so colorizing is gentle there. Check that the skin tone stays natural and that cheeks are not overly pink. If the child looks different from the black-and-white original, rerun and compare. Keep the original in your archive. Paid credits start from 199 Stars if you want to continue after the free start. A run takes 1-2 minutes and uses 2 credits, so trying a second version with a clearer caption is an easy step.
Tips
- Children's clothes were often bright, mention at least the main item.
- Hair color often changes with age, so ask a parent what it was.
- Check the eyes of small faces after the run.
- Use the combined mode if the print is scratched.
