IMG Converter: images to PDF and stickers

The picture came in one format and you need another: PDF for a form, a sticker for a chat, a GIF for a reply. IMG Converter handles it inside Telegram, with no desktop software or ad-packed websites. 🖼️

The bot advertises conversion to jpg, png, sticker, gif and PDF. Send an image, pick the result, get the file back.

Five formats and what each is for

• JPG. A light file for photos. Good for email and for sites with a weight limit.
• PNG. No quality loss and it keeps transparent backgrounds. Choose it for logos, screenshots and graphics with text.
• Sticker. Turns a picture into a chat sticker. Telegram expects a specific size, and the converter fits the image to it.
• GIF. A format for short looping pictures and reactions.
• PDF. Handy when a photo has to be attached to an application or sent as a document.

From picture to result in a minute

1. Open the bot and press Start.
2. Send the image as a photo or as a file.
3. Choose the format from the options.
4. Download the result and forward it where it is needed.

If quality matters, send the original as a file. When Telegram receives a "photo", it compresses the picture first, and the converter then works on a reduced version.

What gets lost along the way

Formats are not equal, and it helps to know that. Going from PNG to JPG removes transparency: a solid background, usually white, takes its place.

JPG compresses with loss. If you convert a file back and forth several times, halos appear around edges. Keep the original separately. 📌

GIF is limited to 256 colors, so smooth gradients look stepped. It is a poor choice for a regular photo, and works for simple graphics and animation.

Jobs people open it for

Most of the time it covers small everyday tasks:

• making a PDF from a photographed document for a portal with format rules;
• turning your own picture or meme into a sticker;
• shrinking a shot by saving it as JPG;
• getting a PNG from a screenshot for a presentation.

Privacy and caution

The bot comes from a third-party team that signs as Delta group. Your file goes to its server during conversion, so passports, bank cards and private photos should not pass through such a service. 🔒

For those, use built-in tools on your phone or computer, which work without sending the file anywhere.

If a conversion fails, check the file size and resend it as a document. For a rare format, first save the shot as a regular JPG with your phone's own tools.
