Make a wallpaper from an old family photograph
A picture of a grandparent on your lock screen is a small daily pleasure. It has to be sharp enough for a screen that you look at hundreds of times a day. Send a photo of the print and the bot repairs it and makes the faces readable.

Make it in TelegramScreen versus print
A phone screen is bright and small, and flaws that vanish on paper show clearly there. A scratch on a cheek stands out. The bot cleans such marks and sharpens the face, and a modest picture can work well at this size. Portrait orientation suits phones, so a landscape photo may need a crop. Keep the faces away from the top where the clock sits.
Choosing the picture
Close portraits, couples and children work best. Group shots lose people. A picture with open space at the top, such as sky or wall, gives the clock room. Try a black and white version if the color is poor. Change the picture on anniversaries. A restored wallpaper also makes a nice gift: send it to the person in the picture or to their family.
Tips
- Pick a picture where the face sits in the middle.
- Try both the lock screen and the home screen.
- Choose a calm background so icons stay readable.
- Ask for a slightly darker tone for a lock screen.
