Prepare one strong picture for the cover of a family photo book

Make it in TelegramSpace for words
Covers need room for a title and often a year. If the original photo is tightly cropped, the bot can extend the sky or a wall so lettering has a quiet place to go. That extension is invented, so keep it simple and plain. A soft gradient at the top is a safe choice and never competes with the faces.
Size and resolution
A cover is printed large, so the photo needs many pixels. Ask the bot for an enlarged copy and have your printer tell you the dimensions they need. Check the face at full size to confirm that enlargement did not introduce waxy skin. A matte laminate gives a calm, classic finish. Save the layout and the picture in one folder for later editions.
Tips
- Try a vertical and a horizontal crop.
- Choose a photo with a calm area at the top.
- Ask the printer for the exact cover size.
- Order a sample page for color checks.
Questions and answers
Can the bot add the title text?
No. Add lettering in your layout program.
Is a color photo needed for a cover?
No. A clean black and white cover is a classic choice.
What does it cost?
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.
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 print photos and does not retouch passport or ID photos.
- Does not promise a fixed pixel size. Check the result at full size before printing.
- Heavily damaged faces are reconstructed by AI and may not look like the person. Compare with another photo.
- Does not make video or animate the photo.
