Make it in TelegramWhat you need
A scan or a clear phone picture of the old photo and a Telegram account. The bot gives 15 free credits at the start, and each image costs 2 credits, so you can restore 7 images before paying. Paid credits start from 199 Stars. If the first result is close but not right, change the caption a little and send the picture again.
What to expect
The AI cleans scratches, stains and fading, and can add color or sharpen. It works from patterns, so it may not recover details that are gone. Faces that were badly damaged are reconstructed and may not match the person. Check the result against other photos. Send the scan as a file in Telegram so the picture is not compressed, and keep the untouched original in a separate folder for comparison.
Tips
- Scan the print at 600 dpi if you can, or photograph it flat in daylight.
- Send as a document to avoid compression.
- Pick the mode that matches the problem: repair, color or sharpen.
- Compare the result with the original.
