Repair crushed corners on an old print
Corners are the first part of a photograph to suffer. They bend in drawers, snag on album pages and chip in frames. When the bent part carries part of the picture, the image looks cut off. Send a photo and the bot flattens the area and fills in what is missing.

Make it in TelegramWhat gets rebuilt and what stays
If the folded part still shows the picture, the bot straightens it. If paper is missing, it extends the scene using nearby tones and shapes. Plain skies and walls fill well. Complex content, such as a window with a curtain, becomes a guess. Check any rebuilt area against the story you know and do not treat it as evidence of what was in the original.
Handling prints that bend
Old photographic paper is brittle, and a quick flatten under a book can crack the emulsion. Let a conservator handle valuable prints. For everyday family pictures, store them flat in sleeves without clips. A digital repair gives you a clean copy for sharing, and the print itself needs only a gentle home. Keep both versions named by date so the original is always easy to find.
Tips
- Name the corner you want fixed.
- Press nothing down. Photograph the corner where it stands.
- Add a second shot from the side if the fold hides detail.
- Say whether to keep the border or crop to the picture.
Questions and answers
Will the border be restored too?
Yes, if you ask for it in the caption.
Can I fix several corners in one go?
Yes. Name each one in the caption or describe the damage in general.
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.

What the bot does not do
