How to Make Circle Video Stickers for Telegram

Circle video stickers are one of Telegram's coolest features — short looping video clips in a round format that stand out in any chat. With Sticked, you can turn any video into a circle video sticker in seconds.

What Are Circle Video Stickers?

Unlike regular image stickers, circle video stickers are animated clips that play on loop. They appear as round videos in Telegram chats, similar to video messages but as stickers you can reuse. Think of them as GIFs, but smoother, higher quality, and in a fun circular shape.

How to Create Them

1. Open Sticked and create or open a pack

Open the Sticked app and either create a new sticker pack or open an existing one where you want to add your video sticker.

2. Tap the + button and select Video

When adding a new sticker, choose Video as the source. You can:

Record a new video using your camera
Pick from gallery — select any video from your phone

3. Trim and edit

The video editor opens with your clip. Here you can:

Trim the video to the perfect length (Telegram supports up to 3 seconds for video stickers)
Preview the loop to make sure it looks good
Adjust the framing — the circle crop is shown as an overlay so you can see exactly what will be included

4. Export and add to your pack

Tap Export and Sticked will convert your video to Telegram's WebM format with the right codec, bitrate, and dimensions. The circle crop is applied automatically. Your video sticker is added to your pack and uploaded to Telegram.

5. Use it in chats

Open Telegram, go to your sticker collection, and find your pack. Your circle video sticker is ready to send!

Tips for Great Circle Video Stickers

Keep it short — 1-2 seconds loops are the most satisfying
Face-centered clips work great — reactions, expressions, nods
Avoid too much motion — the circle crop cuts the edges, so keep the action centered
Memes and reactions — turn viral video moments into reusable stickers
Pet videos — short clips of your cat or dog make the best stickers
