A YouTube channel avatar that reads at tiny size
On YouTube your avatar sits next to comments and in the subscription list, often smaller than a coin. A big face or a single bold shape works best. Send a photo or describe a mark, and the bot makes a simple, high contrast picture with room around it.

Make it in TelegramThink in circles
YouTube crops the avatar to a circle, so the corners are lost. Keep the face or the mark large and centered, with a margin of plain color around it. If the first run shows too many details, ask for 'thicker lines, fewer shapes'. A two or three color picture is much easier to recognize at small size than a photo with soft shading.
Face or mascot
Channels about advice, travel or reviews usually do better with a real face. Channels about gaming, animation or anonymous topics can use a mascot. Pick one and keep it for years, because subscribers recognize the picture before the name. Make the banner next in the same palette so the whole channel page feels like one project. Whichever you choose, test the avatar in the comment section of a real video before you commit.
Tips
- One strong background color helps viewers spot you in a list.
- Skip letters and slogans, which turn unreadable when small.
- Keep the subject in the middle of a square image.
- Match the avatar to your channel art colors.
Questions and answers
What size should it be?
A square image is fine. YouTube crops it to a circle.
Can I add my channel name?
AI letters are unreliable. Skip text in the avatar.
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.
