Clean up the small portrait on an old driver license

Make it in TelegramTiny portraits
At thumbnail size a face holds very little detail, so enlargement must be careful. The bot upscales the portrait, clears paper grain and rebuilds eyes and lips from context. It avoids smoothing every pore, since that would give the person a plastic look. When ink from a seal overlaps the face, the lightest possible stamp removal keeps the card believable.
Sharing safely
A license carries a number, an address and a signature. Hide them before you post anything, and keep an uncropped scan in private storage. A restored portrait works well for a family tree, a memorial page or a framed print. For official use, a restored image is not a substitute for a document, and offices will still ask for the original card or a certified copy.
Tips
- Crop the portrait with a little margin around it.
- Cover personal numbers before sharing the image online.
- Send the back of the card in a separate photo.
- Mention the year of issue.
Questions and answers
Will the numbers be readable?
The bot improves text clarity, though it can misread a faded digit. Check against the original.
Can I use the file for a new document?
No. Offices accept only their own photo rules.
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.
