šŸ–¼ļø Logo White Background + Telegram Image Compression — Image Processing Gotcha Collection

Problem 1: The Logo White Background That Won't Leave

The design delivers a logo with a white background. Setting white pixels to transparent works about 60% of the time. The other 40%: anti-aliased edges. The pixels at the boundary blend colors, leaving a white halo after simple transparency.

The fix: use a tolerance-based transparency tool with ~30-40% fuzz. ImageMagick handles this cleanly:

convert input.png -fuzz 20% -transparent white output.png

Adjust fuzz based on how clean the background is. 20% is a good starting point.

Problem 2: Telegram Destroys Your Images

Telegram compresses photos aggressively. A sharp screenshot comes out blurry. The workaround: send as a file (document), not a photo. Files bypass compression and arrive at original quality.

In OpenClaw's message tool: use asDocument: true or forceDocument: true.

Trade-off: documents show as file attachments, not inline previews.
