Remove a thumb or a strap that crept into the frame
A thumb over the lens or a strap hanging in front of it is the oldest mistake of the snapshot. It shows as a pink or dark blur along one edge, sometimes over part of a face. Send a photo of the print and the bot rebuilds the covered area from the scene.

Make it in TelegramFill or crop
There are two honest ways to deal with a blocked corner. One is to crop it away, which loses a bit of the picture. The other is to let the bot fill it with sky, wall or ground that fits the scene. Fills work best on plain areas. If the blur reaches a face, cropping and a gentle repair together usually give the safest result.
A piece of everyday history
A finger in the frame is a small sign that the photographer was a child, a relative or a stranger asked for a favor. Some families like to keep the flaw because it tells a story. Save an untouched scan for that reason and make a clean copy for the wall and the album. Name both files so that the two are easy to tell apart later.
Tips
- Tell the bot which corner is covered.
- Say what you think was behind the blur.
- Use the scan, not a copy of a copy.
- Crop slightly if you prefer a smaller edit.
Questions and answers
Can the bot remove a whole strap?
Yes, if it crosses plain areas. Detailed scenes may need a second pass.
Will it change the people?
It should not. Say in the caption that the people stay as they are.
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.
