Frequently asked questions
Photo or file: which is better?
A photo is faster and lighter, but Telegram shrinks it. A file keeps the original but takes more space and traffic.
Is this good for channels with a large audience?
Yes. Light images load faster for subscribers, especially on mobile internet.
Can I prepare a photo for a sticker?
Stickers need a separate format and size in Telegram. This tool is for ordinary photos, not sticker packs.
How do I send a photo in Telegram without compression?
Send it as a file instead of a photo: Telegram then keeps the original, and a file can be up to 2GB. It takes longer to load for the recipient, though.
Why does Telegram make my photos smaller?
Photos sent as images are scaled down so chats load fast. If you prepare the photo here first, you see in advance how it will look.
Can I compress photos for a Telegram channel in bulk?
Yes. Choose all the photos for the post at once and download them together as a ZIP.
