Make it in TelegramChoosing the picture
Bereaved families usually remember a particular expression, a laugh or a way of sitting. Ask a mutual friend which snapshot feels right if you are unsure. Picking a moment of ease over a formal pose often moves people more than a stiff studio portrait. The bot keeps the expression exactly as shot and only cleans damage, blur and a distracting background around the person.
Small gesture, careful finish
A card insert is small, so the face should be well lit and slightly larger than in the original. Keep the tone warm and the contrast soft. Write a short note on the back, with the place and the year of the photograph if you know them. Offer to send the digital file too, because the family may want to make their own copies for relatives far away.
Tips
- Pick a photo that shows the person at ease.
- Check the family is comfortable with the choice.
- Leave an empty margin for a handwritten line.
- Choose matte paper over gloss.
Questions and answers
Should I mention the photo was restored?
A short line helps. Families often like knowing a picture was cleaned up with care.
Can it use a group photo?
Yes. Name the person and the side of the frame.
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.

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.
