Photo restoration

Open the eyes of someone who blinked in an old photo

Sometimes the one surviving picture of a person caught a blink or a squint into the sun. Send a photo of the print, and the bot can draw open eyes that match the face. It is a reconstruction, so treat the result as a respectful portrait and not as evidence of how the eyes looked.

An honest edit

The bot draws eyes from the rest of the face, and it cannot know the true shape of the lids or the look of the person. The result may be close or slightly off. For a memorial or a family book, many people accept a gentle edit and add a note that the eyes were reconstructed. Never present the edited file as the original in an archive or a legal setting.

Better sources first

Before you edit, check the family for another picture of the same person with open eyes. A second image gives you a reference, and the bot can use your description of it. Squinting is often easier to fix than a full blink because the eyes are partly visible. A mild request such as 'relax the squint' keeps more of the real face than a full change.

Tips

Name the person whose eyes should change.
Mention eye color if you know it from the family.
Keep an unedited copy for the archive.
Say so if you plan to publish the picture with a note that it was edited.

Questions and answers

Does the bot keep the likeness?

It tries to. Always check the result with someone who knew the person.

Should I label the edited picture?

Yes. A short note such as 'eyes reconstructed' keeps the record honest.

What does it cost?

2 credits per image. New users get 15 free credits, so 7 images cost nothing. After that packs start at 129 Telegram Stars, about $2.6 and credits do not expire.

Does the bot work in English?

Yes. It picks up your Telegram language on first launch. You can switch it any time with /lang.

What the bot does not do

Does not print photos and does not retouch passport or ID photos.
Does not promise a fixed pixel size. Check the result at full size before printing.
Heavily damaged faces are reconstructed by AI and may not look like the person. Compare with another photo.
Does not make video or animate the photo.
