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: light blue blouse, dark brown hair, hazel eyes, keep the face unchanged.

Make it in TelegramA gentle process
This kind of picture can bring up feelings. There is no hurry and there is no right choice. A black-and-white photo carries its own quality, and a colorized copy may feel closer or more strange. Many families keep both. Try one run and see how it feels. If the first result is close but not right, change the caption a little and send the picture again.
Accuracy and honesty
The bot adds believable colors that were never recorded. Hair and eye colors may differ from reality unless you describe them. A damaged face can be reconstructed and may not look exactly like the person. If the picture matters for a memorial, ask someone who knew your parent to look at it with you. Treat the result as a careful interpretation of the original and share it together with the untouched scan.
Tips
- Take your time. The result is an image, it does not replace the original.
- Compare skin, hair and eyes with any color photo you have.
- If something feels wrong, rerun with a more precise caption or keep the original.
- Show it to a relative before you print or share.
