About the Telegram channel photo size
A Telegram channel or group photo is best at 512 by 512 pixels and is shown as a circle. It appears larger at the top of the channel and small in everyone's chat list, so a bold centred logo reads best. Telegram accepts a square and masks it to a circle, cutting the corners, so leave a little margin around your mark. 512 is a good upload size because it stays sharp when Telegram scales it up in the channel header.
