Make it in TelegramSilt and color together
Mud does two things at once: it adds a brown layer and it eats the dyes in a color print. The bot first evens out the brown haze, then pulls the colors back by comparing skin, sky and fabric against what usually looks natural. Where the emulsion washed away completely, a patch is invented from its surroundings. Treat those parts as a careful guess rather than a record.
Save the most important first
After a disaster you may have hundreds of prints and little time. Sort them into those that are still clear and those that are failing, and start with the second group. Let each print dry flat, then photograph it. The restored files give you something to share with family while you decide which originals deserve a professional lab visit and which can rest in a dry box.
Tips
- Freeze wet prints in separate sheets of wax paper until you can handle them.
- Photograph before cleaning anything off.
- Send the best prints first, one per image.
- Write down which prints came from which box.
Questions and answers
Can it clean prints still stuck together?
Photograph them separately after you freeze and part them, then send each one.
Is a smell on the paper a problem for the file?
No. The file only holds 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.
