Choose and clean a portrait for an obituary notice
When the family has to choose a picture within a day or two, the best likeness is often an old snapshot with a crease or a bad crop. Send it, and the bot cleans the damage and gives you a portrait suited to a small column or an online page.

Make it in TelegramA likeness the family recognizes
In a hard week, the picture should feel right to the people who loved the person. Choose a natural smile over a formal pose if that is how they were. Ask the bot to keep age marks and real features. If it smooths too much, rerun with 'keep natural skin'. Show the result to two relatives, since a quick check saves regret later.
Cutting out a group
If the best picture has other people in it, ask the bot to crop and clean the background around the one face. Make sure the others are fine with the picture staying in the family archive. The file should be sharp at the size the paper or site asks for, and publishers differ, so check their current guidance. Keep both the cropped portrait and the full photo for later use.
Tips
- Pick a photo where the person looks like themselves.
- Crop to the head and shoulders for a small column.
- Check the newspaper's current photo requirements.
- Keep an unedited copy for the family.
Questions and answers
Can the bot remove another person from the picture?
It can crop. Removing a person edits the scene, so decide with the family.
Is a phone photo of a print enough?
Yes. Use daylight and send it as a file.
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.
