Compress and upload
Compress lightly. Telegram re-compresses shared photos, so start clean.
- Profile photos display as a circle. Keep faces and logos centred with a little margin.
- To send a photo at full quality, attach it as a file rather than a compressed photo.
- Keep channel branding consistent with your other platforms.
