Telegram Theme Generator

Set 6 colors — get a matching theme for iOS, Android, Desktop, and macOS.

Pick your colors

Six colors decide how a Telegram chat looks: the wallpaper behind the messages, the two bubble colors, the two text colors, and the color of links. Change any one of them and the preview beside these fields redraws right away. If you'd rather not start from a blank slate, take the light or dark preset as a base and edit from there.

Install it on your device

Telegram uses a different file format on every platform, so the generator writes four of them from the same palette: an .attheme file for Android, .tgios-theme for iPhone and iPad, .tdesktop-theme for Windows and Linux, and .palette for macOS. Pick your platform below — there aren't many steps, but they are not the same on all four.

Android

Download the theme — you'll get a .attheme file.
Open it from the download notification or your file manager.
Telegram will show a preview — tap "Install".

iPhone and iPad

Download the theme — you'll get a .tgios-theme file.
In Telegram, open Saved Messages and send yourself this file (via the system Share sheet → Telegram → Saved Messages).
Tap the file inside the chat and tap "Apply This Theme".

Telegram Desktop (Windows, Linux)

Download the theme — you'll get a .tdesktop-theme file.
Open it while Telegram Desktop is running (or Settings → Chat background → "Choose from file" and select it).
In the Theme Preview window, click "Apply This Theme", then "Keep Changes".

macOS

Download the theme — you'll get a .palette file.
In Telegram, send yourself this file (e.g. to Saved Messages).
Tap the file in the chat and click "Apply Theme".

What you get

Pick 6 colors and watch them land in a live chat preview.
One palette, 4 theme files: iOS, Android, Desktop, macOS.
Nothing is uploaded — the file is built in your browser and saved straight to your device.
Free, and you don't need an account to make a theme.

How it works

Set your colors — the preview updates instantly. When you're happy with it, download the file and install it on your device (steps above). Want to share your theme publicly with a link others can tap to install instantly? That's a separate, official Telegram feature — see the FAQ below for how.

Questions

Is this free?

Yes. The generator is free and there is no limit on how many themes you make. No signup, no payment, no upsell attached. Mira the bot is a separate paid product, but this page asks you for neither money nor an account.

Do I need a Telegram account to use this?

Not to make a theme. The colors and the files are handled by the page itself, so you can build and download a theme without ever opening Telegram. You need Telegram installed and signed in only to put the file on your device.

Will this work with my existing chat wallpaper?

Partly. A theme carries a plain background color. If you have set your own wallpaper picture, Telegram keeps showing that picture, and only the bubbles, text, and links change. To see the exact background color you picked, reset the wallpaper in Telegram's chat settings first.

How is this different from a public t.me/addtheme link?

Here you get a personal theme file for your own device. A t.me/addtheme link points at a cloud theme published through Telegram's own theme editor, which is a separate step you do inside Telegram. If you want a public link other people can tap, start from Telegram's own documentation at core.telegram.org/themes.

Is anything I type here uploaded?

No. The colors are turned into a theme file by code running in your browser, and the file is saved straight to your device. Nothing is sent to a server. The share link keeps the colors after the # sign, and browsers never send that part of an address to a server either.

Don't want to pick colors yourself? We also keep 12 ready-made Telegram themes you can install with one tap.
