To resize a photo, send it as a file to the free bot @BgRemoverPhotoBot, tap 📐 Size and choose 50%, 1080 px or 2048 px — the long side gets that size, the proportions stay, and the result comes back as a file. 1080 px is the usual size for social media; 50% simply halves the picture.

Tap Open in Telegram, then Start in the chat with @BgRemoverPhotoBot.
Send the picture as a file
Tap 📎 → File and pick the picture (JPG, PNG, WEBP or HEIC, up to 20 MB and 40 megapixels). A regular photo also works, but Telegram compresses it first.

Save the result
The bot sends the resized file, named like
photo_1080px.jpg.

Size options
| Option | What happens | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 50% | Both sides are halved | A smaller file for email or chats |
| 1080 px | The long side becomes 1080 px | Instagram, stories, websites |
| 2048 px | The long side becomes 2048 px | Sharp photos that still load fast |
Can a picture get bigger?
Yes, but at most twice: a 900 px picture can become 1080 px, a 600 px one won't be blown up to 2048 px. A HEIC photo comes back as a JPG.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Yes. Resizing counts towards the 30 free photo edits a day.

Yes. EXIF and XMP metadata, including GPS location, are not copied into the result.
Is my photo stored?
