Straighten the leaning walls in an old building photo
A camera tilted upward makes tall walls lean toward each other, which gives an old house or church a toppling look. Send the photo of the print and the bot straightens the verticals and keeps the people and details in proportion.

Make it in TelegramA correction with a cost
To straighten the walls, the picture has to be stretched at the top, and the corners need filling or cropping. The bot fills small gaps from the nearby sky and ground. A tall building might lose a little at the sides. If the edge of the roof is close to the frame, tell the bot to keep it, even at the price of a narrower crop.
Why old pictures lean
A photographer standing near a tall building had to tilt the camera up to fit the top. The film plane then leaned back, and the walls converged. Professionals used special cameras and lenses to avoid this, yet most snapshots did not. Correcting the lines makes the architecture easier to study, and it helps if you plan to compare the building with its present state or add it to a local history page.
Tips
- Pick one wall that you know was straight.
- Avoid cropping the roof before you send.
- Mention if there are people in the front.
- Expect a small crop at the edges after straightening.
Questions and answers
Will people be stretched?
People near the building may stretch slightly. The bot keeps this small.
Does it fix a tilted horizon too?
A separate page covers that. Mention both in the caption if both apply.
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.
