Zoom in on one far-away person and make the face readable
In a crowd or a landscape shot, a person may be only forty pixels tall. A plain zoom shows a smudge. Send a crop around that person and the bot enlarges and sharpens it to a believable face.

Make it in TelegramA guess with limits
With so few pixels, the face is partly built from patterns the bot has learned, so it can look like someone else. The hat, the posture and the clothes are more reliable than the eyes or the nose. Treat the result as a way to see who might be there, not as proof. If a family member recognizes the person, that is worth more than any enhancement.
Better results from better crops
Keep the crop square, include the shoulders and avoid cutting through the head. If the photo exists in several copies, scan the sharpest one at the highest setting you can, because every extra pixel helps. Save the original crop and the enhanced one together. A short note describing where in the larger photo the person stood will help others find the same figure later.
Tips
- Send the original full photo as well for context.
- Say which person you cropped, left or right.
- Expect a plausible face, not a guaranteed likeness.
- Ask a relative to confirm any identification.
Questions and answers
Can it name the person?
No. It only improves the image.
What if the face is turned away?
The bot sharpens what is visible and does not invent the hidden side.
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.
