Prepare old kitchen and table photos for a recipe book
A family recipe book works best with faces next to the dishes. A picture of a grandmother at the stove or a long table at Easter says more than a caption. Send the prints one by one and the bot readies them for the page with clean tones and clear faces.

Make it in TelegramPictures as chapter openers
A good book opens each chapter with a face. Choose a picture of the person whose recipes follow and restore it with extra care. Kitchen shots often have grease and steam marks, and the bot lifts them while keeping pots, aprons and tiles recognizable. If a picture will sit under text, ask for a light, even tone so the words stay readable.
Words beside images
Add a short line for each picture, such as who stands where and what was cooked. Those lines will be treasured by readers who never met the cook. Scan any handwritten recipe cards as well and keep them with the pictures in one folder. When the book is ready, order a single proof copy. Food on paper looks different from food on a screen.
Tips
- Pick one portrait per recipe chapter.
- Add the cook's name and the year in a caption file.
- Choose a calm background for pictures that will sit behind text.
- Print one test page on the paper you plan to use.
Questions and answers
Can the bot restore a stained recipe card?
It can clean a photo of the card. Handwriting stays as written.
Should the pictures be in color?
Either works. A restored black and white photo suits an heirloom feel.
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.
