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: red tile roof, whitewashed walls, green shutters, blue door.

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 TelegramBuildings are large, flat colors
Walls and roofs cover wide areas, so color choice stands out. If you do not give hints, the AI picks neutral or common colors. A simple caption with wall and roof colors improves results. Weathered paint is hard to guess; say faded or fresh if you remember. Save every version in the same folder and add the year and the names to the file name so nothing gets mixed up later.
Sky, trees and ground
Natural elements are less risky. Sky turns blue and trees green, and ground colors fit the season suggested by the picture. If you remember that the photo was taken in autumn, mention it so leaves turn warm tones. Details such as laundry, signs and flower pots are small and approximate. The first launch gives 15 free credits, which is enough for 7 images, so you can test the result on your own picture before buying anything.
Tips
- Mention roof, walls and door, they set the look of a house.
- Garden plants are guessed, name the main flower or tree if you remember.
- Trees and sky are reliably natural.
- For old buildings, check local reference photos of the area.
