Clean up a faded marriage certificate and its small portrait
A marriage certificate holds two names, a date, a parish and often a small photo of the couple. Folds, brown ink and paler seals wear it down. Send a picture of the sheet and the bot lifts the writing and revives the portrait.

Make it in TelegramWords must stay true
A restoration can sharpen faded script, though it can also misread a smudged letter. For a legal or genealogical record, always read the cleaned image against the original, especially names, dates and numbers. The bot will not rewrite missing words. Lines that are unclear in the source remain unclear, which is safer than a confident mistake in a legal record.
The portrait and the seal
A small couple portrait on the sheet is processed on its own, since a face needs different handling than ink. Embossed seals appear only as shadows in a flat photo, so shoot twice with the lamp on each side. Together with the restored text, the picture makes a presentable page for a family tree or a print for the couple's anniversary.
Tips
- Photograph in raking light to capture the embossed seal.
- Write the names and date in your notes too.
- Keep the certificate unfolded in a flat box.
- Ask a relative to double-check spellings.
Questions and answers
Does a restored copy count as legal proof?
No. Offices ask for the original or a certified copy.
Can it translate the text?
No. It only improves the image.
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.
