After originally being available for iOS, the company rolled it out for Android as well. With it only working on these mobile operating systems, people who use their desktops more than their smartphones will be a little disappointed not being able to use it on their machines. Fortunately, there’s now a way for you to apply Prisma filters to your photos right from your desktop. It uses the Telegram messaging service and a bot to apply the amazing Prisma effects to your photos without leaving your desktop.
Applying Prisma Effects to Your Photos from Your Desktop
To do the following task all you need to have is a Telegram account, which can be created for free if you do not already have one.
Open a web browser on your desktop and head to the Telegram Web Client page. Once there, choose your country from the drop-down menu, and then enter your cell phone number in the appropriate field. Click on “Next” on the top to sign in to your Telegram account.
Confirm your number on the following screen, and click on “OK” to move forward.
Telegram will send a code to your phone number. Enter the code into the Telegram website, and click on “Next” on the top to move forward. If you did not receive a code via SMS, Telegram will call you with your code so you can input it on the website.
You should now be logged in to your Telegram account. Head to the Prisma Bot for Telegram page to add the bot to your contacts list. Once there, click on the “Start” button to start interacting with the bot.
You can now send commands to the bot using the web messenger. First, you will want to know the list of all the filters you can apply to your photos. To get the list type in /filters as a message, and click the “Send” button.
Select a filter from the list, and then click on the image icon in the messenger to send a photo to the bot so that it can apply the Prisma effects to it.
The photo will then be sent to the bot. The bot should tell you that your photo is processing.
As soon as the photo has been processed, the bot will send it back to you in the messenger with the chosen filter applied on it.
