Trading card photos with sharp corners and no glare
Card buyers check corners, edges and surface scratches, and a holographic finish makes every phone photo look like a rainbow smear. A flat shot from above with the glare tamed lets the card speak for itself.

Make it in TelegramWhat to keep and what to clean
The bot should clean the backdrop and soften glare, and it should leave the card alone. Print lines, whitening on the edge and dents are what a buyer pays for. After the run, compare the corners with your original at full zoom. If anything looks improved, rerun with 'do not retouch the card surface' in the caption. Honest condition shots prevent disputes later.
Lots and singles
For one valuable card, send a single clean picture and add close-ups taken by phone. For a lot, lay the cards in a neat grid and let the bot clean the background around them. Keep every original so you can answer a buyer's question with a raw photo. Marketplaces have their own rules about altered pictures of collectibles, so read the current ones before posting.
Tips
- Never ask the bot to remove scratches or edge wear.
- Keep graded slab labels as your own untouched photos.
- Shoot a close-up of each corner separately.
- A dark backdrop makes light borders pop.
Questions and answers
Can I use it for graded cards?
Yes for a cleaner backdrop, but keep the label shot unedited.
Will it fix a bent corner?
It should not. Leave condition as it is.
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 output a transparent PNG. The result is a finished 3:4 image with a background.
- Does not write listing copy, set prices or upload anything to your seller account.
- Does not guarantee exact marketplace pixel sizes: crop or resize the 3:4 image in any editor.
- Text on infographics is drawn by AI and can have letter errors in long phrases. Keep badges short and proofread.
