How to Use TinyFile

Start in 5 Seconds

TinyFile works entirely inside Telegram. No downloads, no accounts, no configuration. Available in English, Russian, Ukrainian, and Spanish.

Send First, Choose Later

You never have to navigate to a menu before sending a file. The bot accepts files from any screen and figures out what to do next.

1. Send or forward any supported file to the bot — from any menu, at any point.
2. The bot recognizes the format and shows available actions: Compress or Convert.
3. Tap your choice. The bot processes the file and sends the result.

Auto-processed formats

Some file types skip the prompt entirely and are processed on the spot:

• .pdf — compressed automatically.
• .svg — compressed automatically.
• .ai — converted to SVG automatically.
• Video, GIF, video note — processed into stickers automatically using your last chosen shape and duration — no prompts, no extra taps.

Choose quality levels, conversion directions, sticker shape, or duration in the menus. Once your settings are dialed in, you can work entirely by sending files.

Creating Video Stickers

Turn videos and GIFs into animated Telegram stickers, ready to add to your sticker pack.

Send or forward any video (MP4, WebM), GIF, or video note to the bot — it is converted automatically using your saved settings. Tap Video Sticker in the main menu only to adjust shape and duration.

Sticker shape

• Rounded — rounded corners (64px radius). This is the default.
• Square — no rounding.
• Circle — circular mask.

Tap the shape button to switch. Your choice is saved for future use.

Custom duration

1. In the Video Sticker menu, tap Set duration.
2. Enter a number of seconds (3–20).
3. The bot will use this duration for future stickers.

Output specs

• Format: WebP (VP9 encoded), 512×512 px.
• File size: Under 256 KB (the bot optimizes to fit).
• Duration: 3–20 seconds (under 15 seconds works best, 6-8 second is ultimate).

Compressing Files

Reduce file size while keeping quality. Works with PNG, JPG, PDF, and SVG.

Compress PNG

Reduce the file size of PNG images with adjustable quality.

1. Tap Compress in the main menu, then tap PNG.
2. Choose a quality level: 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, or Aggressive.
3. Send your PNG file.

The currently selected quality level is marked with a checkmark. You can change it at any time — tap a different quality button and it applies to the next file.

Compress JPG

Reduce the file size of JPEG images.

1. Tap Compress in the main menu, then tap JPG.
2. Choose a quality level: 20%, 40%, 60%, or 80%.
3. Send your JPG file.

Compress PDF

Send a .pdf file to the bot — it is compressed automatically. No menu navigation and no quality selection needed.

Compress SVG

Send an .svg file to the bot — it is compressed automatically. No menu navigation needed.

Converting Image Formats

Convert images between PNG, WebP, AVIF, JPG, and HEIC. Plus AI to SVG. Twenty conversion paths in total.

1. Tap Convert in the main menu.
2. Choose the source format (the format of your file): WebP, PNG, AVIF, JPG, or HEIC.
3. Choose the target format: e.g. WebP → PNG or HEIC → JPG.
4. Send your file.

Converting WebP

Go to Convert → choose WebP → pick a target format. You can also forward a Telegram sticker — it will be treated as a regular WebP image.

Converting HEIC

HEIC is Apple's default photo format on iPhone and iPad. It saves space on your device, but many tools and platforms still don't support it. TinyFile converts HEIC to PNG, JPG, WebP, or AVIF so your iPhone photos work everywhere — and the reverse direction (PNG/JPG/WebP/AVIF → HEIC) lets you shrink non-Apple images down to HEIC's compact size when storing them on an iPhone.

Convert AI to SVG

Send an .ai file to the bot — it converts automatically. Works best with simple AI files; results are not guaranteed for complex illustrations.

Convert Office Files to PDF (DOCX, DOC, PPTX)

Turn Microsoft Word and PowerPoint files into PDF without leaving Telegram. Layout, fonts, and embedded images are preserved by a cloud-rendering pipeline.

Two ways to start

1. Send the file first. Drop a .docx, .doc, or .pptx into the chat — the pending menu shows a Convert to PDF button right under your file. Tap it.
2. Use the Convert menu. Open Convert in the main menu, pick OFFICE → PDF, then send your file.

What's preserved

• Page layout and pagination
• Fonts, including non-standard ones embedded in the document
• Embedded images (charts, screenshots, diagrams)
• Tables and basic formatting (bold, italics, lists, headings)

Free quota

5 free conversions per week. Beyond that, 5 credits each.

Limits

Telegram caps bot uploads at 20 MB per file. For very large decks or documents, slim them down before sending. Office conversion runs per file — ZIP batch is image-only.

When this is useful

• Send a résumé as .docx → return a PDF ready to share with recruiters
• Convert a .pptx deck to PDF for printing or attaching to email
• Lock down a Word doc as a non-editable PDF before posting it in a chat

Convert Video to WebM

Re-encode any video into a compact WebM file — great for use as a background video on your landing page or website.

How to use

1. Tap Convert in the main menu.
2. Tap Video → WebM.
3. Send your video.

This mode is menu-only. You need to open the Convert menu and choose Video → WebM before sending your file — if you just send a video, the bot will route it to the Video Sticker flow instead.

Sound on or off

Inside the Video → WebM menu, tap the Sound button to keep or drop the audio track. Your choice is saved for future videos, and the default is off — turn it on before sending if you want audio in the output.

Quality

Quality is automatically tuned to your video's resolution — higher resolutions get a proportionally higher bitrate, so the output stays sharp while still shrinking in size. The original duration and dimensions are preserved.

Accepted formats

Common video formats work — MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV. Output is always WebM.

Working with ZIP Archives

TinyFile uses ZIP in two distinct ways: as an output wrapper and as a batch input. Auto-ZIP output is free; for batch input, each file inside counts as one operation against your weekly free pool.

Auto-ZIP output Free

When you process multiple files at once — or when a conversion targets WebP — TinyFile bundles the results into a single ZIP for easy download. No manual download one by one.

1. In any compression or conversion mode, tap ZIP: OFF to collect results.
2. Send your files — each result is added to the archive instead of being sent individually.
3. When ready, tap Download (N) to receive the ZIP.

ZIP batch input Free

Upload an archive of files and TinyFile processes everything at once — true batch mode.

1. Choose a mode (e.g. Compress → PNG, or Convert → PNG → WebP).
2. Send a .zip file containing the files you want to process.
3. The bot processes every matching file and sends the results back as a ZIP.

Generate Image

Generate Image lets you create new images from a text prompt or edit existing images by describing what to change — all inside Telegram. Each generation uses image credits (see Plans & Limits below).

Open the menu

From the main menu, tap Generate Image. A control panel appears with four rows:

• Model: Nano Banana 2 (default), Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2, Flux 2 Pro, Grok Imagine — each model has its own tier set and credit cost (see the table below).
• Tier: Nano Banana 2 — Fast, 1K, 2K, 4K; Nano Banana Pro — 1K, 2K, 4K; GPT Image 2 — Low, Medium, High; Flux 2 Pro — 1K, 2K; Grok Imagine — Standard, Quality (T2I), single mode for I2I.
• Aspect ratio: 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 9:16. Flux 2 Pro additionally supports an Auto aspect ratio that mirrors the input image in I2I mode. Grok Imagine supports 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, 16:9, 9:16 (no 4:3 / 3:4). Prompt is best in English; up to 5000 characters.
• Actions: ⭐ Buy Credits, Main Menu.

Tap a model, tier, and ratio — the active selection is marked with a checkbox (✅). Defaults are Nano Banana 2 / 1K / 1:1. Your choice is remembered until you change it, so the next prompt reuses the same model, tier, and ratio.

Iterative editing

Reply to any of the bot's image outputs with a new text prompt — the bot will edit that exact image again. You can chain edits without going back to the menu. Each iteration uses credits at the currently selected model and tier.

Animate after generation

Every AI image result has a 🎬 Animate button on the last row, with its credit cost shown right on it. Tap it, then send a short prompt describing what should move — the bot gives you a copyable example (animate this image) and a ❌ Cancel button. The still becomes a short video, keeping the original aspect ratio.

Animate uses whichever video model you toggle Use for animate in AI images in that model's settings (one at a time) — the default is Veo 3.1 at 720p. Duration and other parameters follow that model's settings. Animate always runs on paid credits; see Generate Videos for per-model pricing.

Models, tiers and credit cost

Cost depends on model and tier. Higher tiers run at higher resolution and quality.

Limits and refusals

• Up to 10 reference images per generation when editing or composing — same limit across all models (Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 2).
• Generation only counts a credit on success. Safety refusals or service errors don't charge.
• 10 free credits / week, reset Monday 00:00 UTC. Buy more in-bot via Telegram Stars (see Plans & Limits).

Free credits cover image entry tiers. Fast / 1K / Low / Medium, Flux 2 Pro 1K, and Grok Imagine (Standard, Quality, I2I) are unlocked on the weekly free pool. 2K, 4K, Nano Banana Pro 2K+, GPT Image 2 High, and Flux 2 Pro 2K require a purchased credit pack. AI video (Kling, Veo, Seedance) always runs on paid credits.

Upscale Images (Topaz 2K / 4K / 8K)

Sharpen and enlarge images with Topaz inside Telegram. Two entry points — a dedicated Upscale menu item, and an inline button row right under any AI-generated image.

Open the menu

From the main menu, tap Image → Upscale, then send your picture as a document (so Telegram doesn't recompress it). Pick a tier — 2K, 4K, or 8K. The bot offers only tiers that exceed your source resolution.

Inline upscale after generation

Every AI image result has an extra button row: Upscale → 2K / 4K / 8K. Tap any tier — the bot reuses the original (not the preview) and runs upscale immediately. No re-upload, no menu hop.

Tiers and credit cost

Source size gating

If your source already meets or exceeds a tier's resolution, that tier is hidden — Topaz won't add detail beyond the source.

Free credits and gating

Upscale needs a purchased credit pack. The 10-credits-on-Monday free pool covers image generation entry tiers only.

Upscale Videos (Topaz 2x / 4x)

Sharpen and enlarge any video clip to 2x or 4x of its source resolution with Topaz Video AI inside Telegram. One entry point — a dedicated Video Upscale menu item under the new 🔍 Upscale group.

Open the menu

From the main menu, tap 🔍 Upscale → 🎬 Video Upscale. Pick a factor (2x or 4x), then send your video — either as video or as document (MP4, up to 20 MB, the Telegram Bot API cap).

Confirm before charging

The bot reads the actual duration of your file and shows a confirm prompt with the exact credit cost. No credits are spent until you tap Confirm. Tap Cancel to back out — nothing is debited.

Factors and credit cost

Worked examples: 10 s @ 2x = 40 credits · 10 s @ 4x = 70 credits · 30 s @ 4x = 210 credits.

Output and delivery

Results return as video in chat with a 💾 Get Original button that re-sends the unrecompressed MP4 as a document. If the upscaled file exceeds Telegram's 50 MB send limit (long clips at 4x can), the bot replies with a direct download link instead.

Limits and tips

20 MB Telegram Bot API input cap. The longer your clip, the larger the credit charge — the confirm prompt always shows the final number for your actual duration, so there are no surprises. Pick 2x for moderate sharpening on social-media clips; pick 4x when you need a real resolution jump.

Paid pack required

Video upscale runs on paid credits only. The 10-credits-on-Monday free pool covers image generation entry tiers only — video generation and video upscale require a purchased pack.

Generate Videos (Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, Seedance 2, Grok Imagine, Gemini Omni)

Generate videos from a text prompt (text-to-video) or animate your own image (image-to-video). Five models inside the bot.

• Kling 3.0 — flexible duration (5s or 10s), optional audio, 720p / 1080p / 4K.
• Veo 3.1 — three quality tiers (Lite / Fast / Quality), 8-second clips, audio always on, 4K post-gen upscale and clip extend.
• Seedance 2 — versatile model with text-to-video, image-to-video, and video-to-video editing.
• Grok Imagine — 6–30s any duration, Fun/Normal/Spicy modes, up to 7-photo i2v album, 480p/720p, extend (6s/10s).
• Gemini Omni — text-to-video, image-to-video, and video-to-video; 720p / 1080p / 4K; 4–10s clips; 16:9 & 9:16 only; audio always on.

Open Generate Video in the menu, pick a model, configure resolution / aspect / duration, then send a text prompt or send your image as a document with a caption describing the motion. Reply to any output to extend or regenerate.

Kling 3.0 — credits per second

Example: 5-second 1080p clip with audio → 65 credits.

Veo 3.1 — credits per 8-second clip

Veo 3.1 post-generation

Seedance 2 — credits per second

Seedance 2 is billed per second; longer clips and longer input video scale linearly. Video-to-video is billed on input + output combined. The bot displays the exact cost before you confirm.

Grok Imagine — credits per second

• Resolutions: 480p, 720p
• Aspect ratios: 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16 (default 9:16)
• Duration: 6–30s (any integer)
• Modes: Fun, Normal, Spicy
• i2v album: up to 7 reference photos per generation
• Extend: 6s or 10s of an existing Grok video
• English-only prompt (non-English may degrade silently)

Grok Imagine extend — fixed price per generation

Strength: granular duration control (any integer 6–30s) plus up to 7 reference photos in i2v — useful for character/style continuity across album-driven generation.

Gemini Omni — credits per clip (text-to-video)

720p and 1080p cost the same (1080p is delivered as a free upscale of 720p). 4K is not offered at 6s. Audio is always on; aspect ratios 16:9 and 9:16 only.

Gemini Omni — credits (video-to-video)

Strength: cheaper than Veo for comparable output — 10s 1080p text-to-video is 85 credits vs Veo Quality 1080p at 120 — and the only model offering native 4K text-to-video without a separate upscale step.

Video generation runs on paid credits only. Free weekly credits cover AI image generation; Kling, Veo, Seedance, Grok Imagine, and Gemini Omni all require a purchased credit pack.

Plans & Limits

Compress, convert and make stickers — 50 free operations a week (a 40-op pool plus your 10 weekly credits). AI image generation runs on those same credits — paid packs available in-bot.

Free

Compression, conversion and video stickers draw from one shared pool of 40 operations per week (reset Monday 00:00 UTC). Each file in a ZIP batch counts as one operation. Beyond the pool, each operation costs 1 credit from your balance — with your 10 free weekly credits that's 50 free operations a week before you need a top-up. Office → PDF has its own separate free quota and isn't part of this pool.

AI Image credits

10 free credits per week, reset every Monday 00:00 UTC. Free pool does not roll over.

Paid packs (purchased in-bot via Telegram Stars) stack on top and do not expire. While paid credits are available, the weekly free grant is paused; once paid balance hits zero, the next Monday brings free credits back.

Image Upscale credits

Image upscale tiers spend credits from the same pool as image generation, but require a purchased credit pack — the free weekly pool does not apply.

Credit packs

USD shown is the minimum (Telegram desktop / Fragment); actual price varies by platform — iOS / Google Play take store fees on top.
