Restore the small face in an old passport
Passports hold the only portrait many ancestors ever had, and the photo is tiny, stamped and creased. Photograph the page flat with the stamp visible and send it. The bot cleans the marks, enlarges the face and keeps the likeness.

Make it in TelegramA small face
A passport photo may be only a few hundred pixels wide in a phone picture. Get close, hold the phone parallel to the page and shoot in daylight. The bot rebuilds detail from what is there, so treat the result as a careful reconstruction. Compare it with other photos of the same person if you have any. A magnifying glass next to the phone helps you frame the shot more precisely.
Records and privacy
Passport pages carry numbers and personal data. Crop them out before you share the restored picture. Keep the full original page in a private folder, and use only the portrait for family trees, books or a memorial page. Rules for handling old identity documents differ by country, so check them if the document belongs to someone other than you. Store the file in a folder that only relatives can open.
Tips
- Do not peel or press an old passport open.
- Photograph the full page too, for the dates and names.
- Avoid flash, since laminate reflects it.
- Note the country and year in the file name.
