Make it in TelegramIllustration over photo
Illustrated avatars hide details you may prefer to keep private while still showing personality. Ask for a limited palette and flat shapes. A thick outline survives tiny crops, and a simple plant, a cup or a cat adds charm. If the result looks glossy, rerun with 'matte flat colors, paper texture, no shine'. Mention your hair and glasses for likeness.
Fit for any server
Communities have their own themes and rules, so read the server profile guidelines before you upload. Keep the picture free of text, which the bot often spells wrong. Save a version with a transparent look by choosing a plain flat background you can recolor later. The same drawing can serve as a banner element if you request a wide variant.
Tips
- Pick three colors only.
- Ask for a thick outline.
- Add one small object that you love.
- Keep the background flat.

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.
