Join a big print that was scanned in overlapping parts
A panorama or a school photo from the 1930s can be wider than a flatbed scanner. You scan it in pieces and a visible seam is left with a brightness step. Send the combined image and the bot hides the seam and evens out the light.

Make it in TelegramSeams and light
Scanner lamps are brighter in the middle than at the edge, which makes each piece darker at one side. After joining, a gradient appears, and the bot spreads brightness smoothly across the seam. Repeating patterns, such as bricks, fences and curtains, need care to line up. If someone stands on the seam, check that arms, shoulders and collars still connect across it, and send the image back with a note if one does not.
Fewer problems when you scan
A small amount of planning saves the repair. Place the print against the same corner of the glass each time and rotate it by a half turn so the bright area changes side. Tape a ruler beside the picture to see overlaps. If the print is huge, a phone photo of the whole thing with a flat lamp may be simpler, and the bot can clean the result.
Tips
- Scan with the same settings for each part.
- Overlap each piece by at least two centimeters.
- Keep the print in the same position when you rotate it.
- Turn off auto-exposure in the scanner software.
Questions and answers
Do I need special software to join the parts?
A basic photo editor or a stitching app is enough.
Will the bot fix bent edges from the scan?
It softens them. Mention the bend in the caption.
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
