What it does

Stickers is the official Telegram bot used to create, edit, and publish sticker packs. Users upload images that the bot crops to Telegram's standard sticker size, then assign one or more emoji to each sticker. Once published, a pack gets a public link that anyone can use to add it to their Telegram account.

The bot supports static stickers, animated stickers (TGS format), and video stickers (WEBM format). It also handles custom emoji packs, which were added in 2022 and let Telegram Premium users replace any standard emoji with a custom design across all their chats.

Stickers is operated directly by Telegram and is the canonical way to publish sticker content on the platform.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free?
