Send a clip to the bot and press the “⭕ Video note” button — a real Telegram video message comes back. Flowmark doesn't choose the crop blindly through the center: faces and important objects stay visible in every scene. And the circle itself can be styled from a whole set of looks — from a colour frame with your own label to Matrix, VHS or a snow globe that slowly buries the frame in snow.
Promo access opens every Flowmark tool for 30 days — circles with all effects, auto-cropping, branding, transcription and more. Right in Telegram.
Play with the effects right here — in the chat the circle comes out exactly the same. This is only part of the showcase: the bot has twice as many effects, and each of them offers not three colours but more than twenty.
Telegram only lets you record a video message “live”, with the camera. An edited clip, a good take, a podcast fragment or an announcement shot on a proper camera simply cannot be sent as a circle.
Flowmark closes that gap with one button: any clip becomes a real video message you can send to a private chat, a group or a channel. Circles feel more alive than ordinary video in the feed and open instantly.
A circle is a short, personal message, and it can look very different. Some effects work with the edge of the circle: fire, an electric arc, a plasma shell, a glow along the rim. Some live on top of the frame — hearts, glitter, snow that really piles up at the bottom of the globe over a minute. And some rewrite the picture itself: Matrix drops a rain of katakana glyphs over the frame, VHS dropout tears the image apart in bands, the old terminal sits you in front of a monochrome monitor with a sweeping scanline.
Colour changes an effect more than you would expect. The same snow globe on a different palette pours candy floss or grey ash instead of snow; the terminal turns from green to amber, like the monitors it borrows from. Every effect has three strength steps, each named after what actually changes: density for hearts, glow for fire, distortion for VHS.
Five effects listen to the sound: plasma, the electric arc, the spark circuit, hearts and glitter read the loudness of the track and move along with the speech — the arc swings wider, sparks run faster, more particles appear. For a video message that is a noticeable difference: the effect stops being a sticker over the frame and becomes part of the remark itself.
Send a video, press “⭕ Video note”, get a circle in the same chat. No settings to touch: whatever styling you picked last time in the mini app is applied.
A gallery of effects, colours, strength, ribbon text. The preview animates live, and you can load your own frame into it — then you see exactly how the effect sits on your video.
Forward a finished video message to the bot and any effect will land on it. The frame is already square, so there is nothing to crop: the picture stays exactly as you recorded it.
The square window is picked by Flowmark's automatic cropping: it finds faces and important objects in every scene and follows them, so people don't drift past the edge.
Each effect exists in a single implementation: what draws the preview in the mini app and what is applied to the finished video is literally the same code. So the result matches the picture you chose — on this page as well.
The bot sends back not a file but a finished video message: forward it to any chat or channel straight away. Technically it is a square 640×640 video whose corners Telegram hides behind a round mask. Flowmark hands that area to you: a blurred backdrop from the frame, your own icon and an arc label.
Inside the Telegram feed they stay out of sight — the message is always shown as a circle. But when a circle is saved and passed on as ordinary video — and that is the most common way it travels — the styling shows in full, along with whose message it is. A personal video message gets a look of its own that doesn't disappear outside the chat.
The icon doesn't have to be our paper plane: any image or short clip of yours takes its place, and the size is adjustable too. You upload it once in the mini app, and from there it lives as an ordinary Flowmark asset — the same file also serves for logos on video and watermarks.
The dashed line is where Telegram cuts the picture. Everything beyond it is that very area — try changing the icon and the label.
The same bot can recut a clip for Reels, compress it under a platform limit or put a logo on it — the whole media workflow in one place:
In two ways. The frame is chosen by automatic cropping: the bot finds faces and important objects in every scene and keeps them inside the circle instead of cutting blindly through the center. And the finished circle can be styled — nineteen effects, each with its own colours and settings.
Yes. Forward the finished video message to the bot and press “⭕ Video note” — the frame is already square, so nothing gets cropped and the effect simply goes on top.
Nine effects are open to everyone, ten advanced ones come with upgraded plans. Any of them can be tried in the mini app: only saving an advanced styling requires a plan.
A regular circle costs 1 credit per minute of video, a circle with an advanced effect costs 2. The free plan covers dozens of circles, and the promo link opens 30 days of extended access with every effect included.
Plasma, the electric arc, the spark circuit, hearts and glitter read the loudness of the audio track and move along with the speech: the arc swings wider, sparks run faster, more particles appear. The loudness comes from the file itself, so the effect matches what the listener hears.
Telegram limits video messages to 60 seconds, so the first minute of the clip becomes the circle. Trim a different fragment in advance if you need one.
Yes, the audio track is kept — just like in a regular video message recorded with the camera.
A circle is a square 640×640 file whose corners Telegram hides behind a round mask. They stay out of sight in the feed, but as soon as someone saves the file and forwards it as ordinary video, the styling shows in full. That is exactly why it is worth putting your own icon and label there: the message stays recognisable outside the chat too.
Yes: your own arc label (up to 24 characters) and your own icon instead of the default paper plane — any image or short clip, with an adjustable size. The icon is uploaded once in the mini app and from there lives as an ordinary Flowmark asset.
