Turn twelve old prints into a family calendar
A calendar with a grandparent for every month ends up on twenty kitchen walls and gets looked at every morning. Twelve pictures from different decades make a neat set. Send them one by one, and the bot restores each into a picture ready for a month page.

Make it in TelegramChoosing the twelve
Start with a list of birthdays and anniversaries in the family, then look for a picture that fits each. A June wedding photo goes on June. A winter coat goes on a cold month. Not every month will have a perfect match, so a few are free choices. Restore the twelve in the same way so the tones feel like a set when they sit in a row.
Printing details
Photo calendar printers ask for specific sizes and margins, and these change, so check their current guidance. Keep faces away from the binding area and from the grid of days. Ask for a matte finish if you plan to write on the pages. Order a proof of one month. A good calendar is read daily, so mistakes in a name or a date will be noticed by the whole family.
Tips
- Match a picture to the month the person was born.
- Choose wide scenes for the top half of the page.
- Mark birthdays and anniversaries of the people shown.
- Order a single test copy before printing for everyone.
Questions and answers
Do the photos need to be the same size?
No. Crop them in your layout tool.
Can I also restore a group photo for the cover?
Yes. Pick the one that has the whole family.
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
