Prepare old family photos for a reunion photo wall
A reunion is when the oldest picture gets passed around and everyone tries to name the third cousin on the left. Posters make that game easy. Send each print to the bot, and you get a set of pictures with matching tone and clean surfaces.

Make it in TelegramMatching tone across the wall
Pictures from different decades never look the same. A shared caption that says 'consistent warm tone' helps the bot pull them closer. Compare all the images at the same size on a monitor and rerun the odd ones out. A wall with one family feel looks more intentional than a wall of mixed colors, and it helps visitors focus on faces.
Big print, small faces
A poster for a hall needs a big file. The bot enlarges modestly, so start with the sharpest photo you can take. Check the size and the finish with your print shop, and ask for a test print of a single face. Mount the board near the entrance and put a pen and sticky notes beside it so relatives can add names for the next generation of the family.
Tips
- Use the same caption wording for every photo.
- Choose eight to twelve pictures, not forty.
- Add a name card with a printed tree next to the board.
- Ask relatives to bring the prints they own before the date.
Questions and answers
How many photos should I restore?
Start with the ones that show people everyone knows.
Can I make a family tree poster from the results?

Yes. It picks up your Telegram language on first launch. You can switch it any time with /lang.
What the bot does not do
