Prepare old photos for a family memory book
A memory book mixes pictures from different decades and cameras. Some are yellow, some are blue, some are scratched. Place them side by side and the differences show. Send each photo and the bot repairs it so the page feels like one story.

Make it in TelegramMatching tones across a spread
A page works when the pictures talk to each other. Restore photographs of the same era with similar settings, and let a yellow print stay slightly warm if its neighbors are warm too. Keep skin natural. If one picture is far lighter than the others, send it again with a request for a softer correction. Look at the whole spread on one screen before you commit.
Resolution and print size
A tiny print blown up to a full page will look soft, whatever the software does. Decide which pictures deserve the big space and which stay small. A good size for a snapshot is a third to a half page. Ask your printer for the pixel size they want and compare it with your files. Restore early, so there is time to adjust before the deadline.
Tips
- Pick five to eight pictures per spread, not twenty.
- Keep a light caption file with names and years.
- Use a similar tone for pictures of the same decade.
- Order a test page before you print the whole book.
Questions and answers
Can the bot make all pictures look the same?
It makes each natural. Matching look across a page is your editing choice.
What file should I use for print?
The highest resolution scan you have. The bot returns an image sized for typical use.
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.

What the bot does not do
