Live auction thumbnails that get people into the room
A live show lives or dies on the first few viewers. The thumbnail has to say what is for sale and that the host is fun. Send photos of the star items, describe the vibe, and the bot arranges them in a punchy scene with an empty band for the show title.

Make it in TelegramSay what is for sale
People tap a thumbnail because they see something they want. Choose your two or three strongest items, show them large and keep the background simple. If the scene gets crowded, rerun with 'fewer objects, larger, centered'. Add the start time in a layout tool, since viewers decide fast whether they can join. A cover that matches the show builds trust and keeps people watching.
Stay within the rules
Live platforms limit certain items and claims, so read the current seller policy before you promote anything restricted. Do not promise grading, value or rarity unless it is true. Keep the original photos of high-value items for dispute resolution. A weekly series is easier to promote with a repeating thumbnail style, so keep the same frame and swap the items.
Tips
- Feature items you will actually sell in the show.
- Use high contrast so the thumbnail reads on a phone.
- Keep the title to a few words.
- Check the platform's current thumbnail size.
Questions and answers
Can I make a story version?
Yes. Ask for a tall vertical composition.
Does it work for sneakers?
Yes. Show the pairs on a clean shelf.
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.
