How to Create Telegram Stickers

Want to make your own Telegram sticker pack? Forget the old way of using Telegram's bot — with Sticked, you can create a full sticker pack from your phone in minutes. No need to resize images manually or deal with @Stickers bot commands.

The Old Way vs Sticked

Traditionally, creating Telegram stickers requires chatting with Telegram's @Stickers bot, sending images in the exact right format (512x512 PNG with transparency), and following a tedious step-by-step process. Sticked skips all of that.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Create a new pack

Open Sticked and tap Create Pack. Name your pack — this is what it'll be called in Telegram.

2. Add stickers from any source

Tap + to add stickers. Choose from:

  • Gallery — any photo from your phone
  • Camera — snap a photo on the spot
  • Text — create stickers with custom text, fonts, and colors
  • Video — short video clips become animated video stickers

3. Edit and polish

Each sticker can be edited:

  • Auto background removal — Sticked cuts out the subject automatically
  • Border tool — add a white or colored outline
  • Crop — adjust the framing
  • Emoji assignment — pick the emoji that matches each sticker (used for Telegram's sticker suggestions)

4. Upload to Telegram

Sticked uploads your stickers to Telegram automatically. No bot commands, no manual resizing. Your pack appears in your Telegram sticker collection ready to use.

5. Share with friends

Tap Export → Telegram to open your pack in Telegram. From there you can share the pack link with anyone — they can add it to their collection with one tap.

What Makes Sticked Better

  • No bot interaction — everything happens in the app
  • Batch upload — add multiple stickers at once, not one by one
  • Auto-formatting — images are automatically resized and optimized
  • Video stickers — create animated stickers from video clips, including circle video stickers
  • Multi-platform — the same pack can be exported to WhatsApp too

Tips for Great Sticker Packs

  • 10-20 stickers is the sweet spot — enough variety without bloat
  • Consistent style — stickers from the same source or art style look better together
  • Clear at small size — stickers appear small in chat, avoid tiny details
  • Good emojis — choosing the right emoji for each sticker makes Telegram's suggestions work better
