- 2
Send the photo as a file (document) so Telegram does not compress it. In the caption write: restore this family photo, repair damage, keep faces unchanged.

Wait 1-2 minutes for the image, then save it or try again with a different caption.
Try it on your own photo: 7 images are free, no sign-up.
Make it in TelegramCollect and label
Start a shared folder and ask relatives to add scans of their best prints. Agree on a file naming rule, for example year, place and names. Labels now save a lot of confusion later, and older relatives may still remember who is in each picture. Paid credits start from 199 Stars if you want to continue after the free start.
Share responsibly
When you send restored photos, say they were repaired by AI and the colors, if any, are interpretations. Keep the untouched scans in a separate folder. People will compare, and being open about the changes keeps trust in the family archive. Save every version in the same folder and add the year and the names to the file name so nothing gets mixed up later.
Tips
- Ask each relative for scans, not photos of screens.
- Add names and years in the file names.
- Share originals and restored versions separately.
- Ask older relatives to confirm identities.
