A playlist cover that matches the mood of the songs

A playlist cover is a tiny square seen next to a dozen others. A single image with one color and one mood stands out in a list. Describe the music and the time of day, and the bot paints a square cover with a quiet corner for a short title.

Make it in Telegram

Show the feeling

A good cover answers the question 'what is this for?' before the title does. Rainy window, kitchen morning, running track, quiet library. Describe one scene and one light. The bot paints it in a square format. Genre labels and artist faces rarely help. If the title is hard to read at thumbnail size, ask for 'large calm area, high contrast' and set the text in a bold font.

A series with one look

If you run several playlists, keep the style words identical and change only the scene. Your profile then looks curated, and followers can tell your lists apart from a distance. Add the title in your editor, and use the same font on every cover. Check the current upload rules in the app, since size and file limits change from time to time.

Tips

Describe the mood, with no genre names.
Keep the main subject in the middle, since corners get rounded.
Use one palette for a series of playlists.
Check the cover at thumbnail size before you upload.

Questions and answers

What size is a playlist cover?

Ask for a square image. Check the app for its current size and file limits.

Can I use album art in it?

Only if you hold the rights. Describe your own scene instead.

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

Does not place a logo exactly. You can send it as a reference, the result is approximate.
Long text on the image can come out with misspellings. Short captions work better, proofread before publishing.
Does not make video or animated stories.
Does not output a transparent PNG or a layered file.
