Photo restoration

Restore an old motorcycle or bicycle photo

Someone stood next to that bike on purpose, and the picture says so. They wanted the headlamp, the tank and the handlebars to show. Send a scan, and the bot restores chrome highlights, spokes and the grin of the owner.

Spokes and chrome

Spokes are a pattern of thin lines that either look wonderfully crisp or turn into a moire mess. Check wheels first. If they look wrong, rerun with 'simple natural spokes, do not add extra'. Chrome parts reflect the sky and the owner, and the bot can overdo the shine. Ask for 'soft metal highlights' when the first pass looks like plastic. A wheel that is slightly soft is better than one that is wrong.

Identify the machine

Badges, tank shape and headlight style help identify the model. Compare the restored picture with catalog photos to learn what bike it was. Enthusiast forums love this kind of puzzle and often answer in a day. The registration plate, if visible, is another lead, though you should be careful about sharing it online. A name and a year in the file title turns a pretty picture into a useful record.

Tips

Name the make and model if you know it.
Crop the bike for a second detail pass.
Keep number plates unchanged.
Look for the same model in old catalogs.

Questions and answers

Can the bot tell the model?

No. It restores the picture. Identification comes from you or from hobby forums.

What about a car?

Cars have a separate page with the same approach.

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.
