Make a Telegram round video (video message)
Crop any video to a square 640 px clip up to 60 seconds — the format of Telegram’s round video messages.
Your files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed automatically and permanently deleted after 1 hour. Nobody looks at them. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.
How to use
- Choose a video.
- Set the start time and length (up to 60 s), optionally remove the sound.
- Press Start and download the MP4.
- Send it to our Telegram bot to get it back as a real round video message.
Telegram apps do not let you send an existing video as a round message — only bots can do it. That is why the last step uses a bot.
Frequently asked questions
Why can’t I just send the MP4 as a circle?
The Telegram app records round messages only from the camera. Bots can send any square video as a round message, so we use a bot for that.
What is the maximum length?
60 seconds, the Telegram limit for video messages.
Which part of the video is used?
The centre of the frame is cropped to a square. Choose the start time to pick the moment.
