The bot handles files. The mini app creates them.
TinyFile has two entrances. The chat works with files you send it; the app is where you make something new.
| @tinyfile_bot – the chat | Mini app – the studio |
|---|---|
| Compress PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG and video up to 2 GB | Generate images from a prompt, or edit your own |
| Convert 20 image directions, Office → PDF, video to MP4, GIF or WebM | Generate and animate video |
| ZIP batch processing | Build sticker packs from your photos |
| Turn a sticker or GIF from a chat into a video sticker | Keep every result in a 30-day gallery |
| Tools: remove GPS and metadata, reduce photo resolution | Upscale photos and video with Topaz |
How to open the TinyFile mini app
Three taps, right inside Telegram.
Open the bot
Open @tinyfile_bot in Telegram, or tap Open Mini App on this page.
Tap Generate
One Generate button sits at the bottom of the chat. Tap it, then pick Photo or Video.
Start creating
The app signs you in with your Telegram account. Balance in the header, four tabs at the bottom.
Four tabs
Image, Video, Packs and Gallery. Everything you make lands in the Gallery, and any result there can be edited, animated, upscaled or sent to a pack.
Image
Text-to-image and image-to-image on one screen – there is no mode switch. A prompt on its own is drawn from scratch; attach a photo and it becomes the reference. Remove background and upscale to 2K / 4K / 8K sit in the same composer.
Video
The same composer, for video. Duration and resolution follow the model you pick. Attach a photo to animate it, a video to edit it, or send a prompt on its own. Boomerang, remove background, upscale 2× or 4×, extend.
Packs
One photo of your character plus a list of emotions becomes a sticker pack – the walkthrough is below. My packs holds everything you have made: rename, reorder, swap emoji, delete.
Gallery
Every result is kept for 30 days. Copy a prompt, re-run it, edit a result, animate a still, upscale it, send it to a pack, share it to a chat, or download it – nothing is uploaded twice.
How to build a sticker pack
Two modes: Generate makes the still stickers, Animate brings them to life.
Generate – still stickers from one photo
- Open the Packs tab, stay on Generate and attach a photo of your character – a face, a pet, a drawing.
- Add a row per sticker. One row, one sticker. Tap an emotion from the strip – joy, sad, love, facepalm, fire and a few dozen more – or type your own.
- Generate all works through the rows. Any single row can be redone on its own.
- Send them to a pack. A new one is created on the spot, with a link like
t.me/addstickers/cats_by_tinyfile_bot.
Animate – turn the stills into video stickers
- Switch to Animate. Use the stills you already made, or upload new ones.
- Pick a video model – the available durations follow it. Boomerang plays the first half of the clip forward and back, silent, for 1 credit.
- Shape is up to you – square, rounded or circle. The same setting applies in the bot.
What's free and what costs credits
Generation runs on credits, and the exact total sits on the Generate button before you tap it. Images start at 1 credit, and a sticker in a pack is the same image – so from 1 credit per sticker. Video starts at 4 credits for a short Seedance 1.5 Pro clip, and Grok Imagine costs 1 credit per second at 480p, 2 at 720p. Heavier models and higher resolutions cost more.
- 10 welcome credits when you start – enough for the entry quality levels of image generation.
- A Boomerang loop costs 1 credit – made on our own server, not by a paid model.
- Credits are bought inside the app with Telegram Stars. The 1000-credit pack is 5% off, and purchased credits never expire.
- A failed or refused generation is refunded straight away.
- Generating stickers doesn't touch the weekly free pool – that pool is for compression, conversion and chat video stickers; in the app you only spend credits.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install anything?
You only need Telegram. The mini app runs inside it and signs you in with your Telegram profile the moment it opens.
How is this different from the bot?
The bot works with files you send it: compressing, converting, turning a chat sticker into a video sticker. The app is where you generate – images, video and sticker packs, all kept in a gallery. Image and video generation live in the app, not in the chat.
Can I add stickers to a pack I already have?
No. Telegram only lets a bot add stickers to packs that same bot created, so an existing pack cannot be extended from here. The app creates a new one instead – rename it, reorder it and delete stickers from it like any other.
How long are my results kept?
30 days in the gallery, images and video alike. Download anything you want to keep longer. Stickers already sent to a pack live in the pack and are not affected.
Is any of it free?
You get 10 welcome credits when you start, and they cover the entry quality levels of image generation. A Boomerang loop costs 1 credit. Beyond that, credits are bought inside the app with Telegram Stars and never expire.
What languages does it speak?
English, Русский, Українська, Español, العربية, فارسی. The interface follows your Telegram language. For prompts, English gives the most accurate results across every model.
Can I use it on a computer?
Yes – Telegram Desktop and Telegram Web both run it, with a two-column layout on a wide screen. Files can be dragged straight onto the composer there.
What happens to the photos I upload?
They are used for what you asked for and stay in your gallery for 30 days so you can reuse them. Nothing is shared with anyone else. Delete anything whenever you like.
