How to do it
- 1
Use the button on this page to open the bot in Telegram, then press Start. Your 15 free credits appear on first launch.
- 2
Send the black-and-white photo as a file (document) so Telegram does not compress it. In the caption write what the family recalls, for example: gray-blue eyes, dark brown hair, gray cardigan.

In 1-2 minutes the colorized picture arrives in the chat. Download it, and if a color is off, run again with a hint in the caption.
Try it on your own photo: 7 images are free, no sign-up.
Make it in TelegramAsk the family
Memory is a better guide than any model. Ask an aunt or a parent what color the grandmother's coat was. Small details like eye color or a favorite brooch are possible to mention in the caption. The bot cannot read the family memory, but it can follow it. Take your time with the result and look at it at full size on a computer, because small details are easy to miss on a phone screen.
Respectful approach
A colorized portrait changes the feeling of the original. Some relatives love it and some prefer the old print. Show both and let them choose. Keep faces recognizable: if the colorized face looks different, rerun and compare with the original. A run takes 1-2 minutes and uses 2 credits, so trying a second version with a clearer caption is an easy step.
Tips
- Ask relatives about hair, eyes and favorite clothing colors.
- Eye color is often wrong on small faces, mention it if you know.
- Add hair color for older people who had gray hair, say gray.
- Show the result to a relative and rerun if they disagree.
