How to add your own stickers to Telegram

Open a chat with the official @Stickers bot, send /newpack, name the pack, then send each sticker as a file (PNG, longest side exactly 512 px, up to 512 KB) followed by an emoji. Send /publish, give the pack a short name, and Telegram gives you a link to add it.

The Telegram sticker format

Static Telegram stickers: PNG, longest side exactly 512 px, up to 512 KB. A transparent background is what makes them look like stickers rather than photos.

Common problems

If the bot rejects a file, check the size and that you sent it as a file, not as a compressed photo. The bot’s messages change from time to time; follow what it asks for.

Make the stickers with AI Pet Stickers

AI Pet Stickers turns one photo of your pet into 16 stickers with captions, already in the Telegram format. It does not create or publish the pack for you and does not make animated or video stickers. Pets and other animals only: photos of people, including yourself, are not accepted.

Step by step

  1. Prepare the files. Each sticker as a PNG with a transparent background: PNG, longest side exactly 512 px, up to 512 KB.
  2. Open the @Stickers bot. Search for @Stickers in Telegram, open the official bot and press Start.
  3. Start a new pack. Send /newpack and type a name for your pack.
  4. Add the stickers. Send the first sticker as a file, not as a photo, then send one emoji for it. Repeat for every sticker.
  5. Publish. Send /publish. The bot may ask for an icon, which you can skip, and then for a short name for the link.
  6. Add and share. Open the link the bot sends to add the pack to your Telegram and share it with friends.
