Make a phone wallpaper from one of your own photos
Your lock screen shows time and notifications over the image, so a busy photo gets lost. The bot restyles your picture into a calm illustration with open space at the top and a focal point lower down, in a tall format that fits modern phones.

Make it in TelegramLeaving room for the clock
The top third of a lock screen holds the time. A good wallpaper puts sky, wall or water there and keeps the subject lower. Tell the bot to leave that area open. The caption does most of the work, and a quick check against your own clock tells you whether another run is needed before you settle on the final image.
Ideas that work
A beach photo as a flat poster, a pet in watercolor, a favorite trail redrawn in muted ink, your sketchbook page cleaned up. Skip anything with tiny text. Sets also work well, such as one calm version for the lock screen and a darker twin for the home screen, made from the same photo with two different captions. Save each caption with the image so you can rerun it when you change phones.
Tips
- Ask for 'vertical 9:19' to match modern phones.
- Request 'low contrast, muted tones' for a background that icons sit well on.
- Keep faces below the clock area.
- Use a darker version for the home screen and a lighter one for the lock screen.
Questions and answers
What aspect ratio do I get?
Tall, close to a modern phone. Ask for the exact ratio in the caption if your device is unusual.
Can I make a desktop version?
Yes, ask for a wide 16:9 version of the same photo.
What does it cost?
2 credits per image. New users get 15 free credits, so 7 images cost nothing. After that packs start at 49 Telegram Stars 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
- Works from one photo. Likeness depends on the photo you send, and some styles change features more than others.
- Does not make video or animation.
- Does not output a transparent PNG.
- Does not retouch passport or ID photos.
