One of the best things that Telegram offers is the possibility of customization and creation that users have. You can change just about anything in the app, besides creating stickers of whatever you want. This process is very simple to do, and can be performed on the mobile or desktop version of Telegram. With these stickers created, you can add them to your library, send them to your friends and allow them to add them too. If you are curious and want to create stickers for Telegram, just follow our tutorial. Check out more below!

Creating stickers on Telegram

While you need external apps to create stickers for other apps like WhatsApp, Telegram has a simpler method. It uses bots that do pretty much all the work for you.

To get started, open Telegram and click on the three vertical bars on the left side.

This will show you some basic options for your profile in the app. Click the “Saved Messages” option.

This will open a special chat that only you can see. It is in this chat that you can send links or messages with something to remember later, for example.

This chat is also useful for starting chats with Telegram bots, which is what we're going to do now.

To create stickers we will rely on the help of the bots @stickers (which creates the packages of stickers) and @@sticker_convert_bot (which resize your images to the size required by Telegram for the stickers).

You just need to write these two names and send them as a message in the chat “saved messages”. When you do this, they will appear as links in the chat, just click on each of them to start the chat.

The first one we're going to use is @stickers. Open the conversation with him and click "Start".

Right away, it will show you all the commands you can use. Including creating a new sticker pack, adding sticker, deleting existing packs and much more.

Click on the “/newpack” option and it will direct you to create your first sticker pack. Start by giving it a name.

With that done, it will ask you to send the first Sticker, in addition to informing you that the mandatory file size is 512×512.

Resizing stickers

To do this without a lot of work, let's chat with @sticker_convert_bot. Just send the image you want to turn into a sticker for him.

It will resize it and send you the finished image. Download it and then press your finger on the image and choose the “Forward” option.

Now choose to forward the image to chat with @stickers. It's important to do it this way, as this will send the photo as a file rather than an image, another requirement of Telegram.

The bot will recognize that everything is fine and will ask you to associate the sticker with an emoji. Choose the emojis you want and send them in the chat.

Okay, your first sticker will be created and added to the package. You can repeat this procedure with as many images as you like.

publishing stickers

When finished, just click on the “/Publish” link to publish the package.

Now click on the “/skip” link so you don't have to create a special icon for the package. In this case, the first sticker in the pack will be used as your icon, which is much more practical.

The next step is to give the package a shorter name, which will appear when you share it with others. This will end the process and publish your sticker pack.

You can click on the link the bot will send to add the package or to send it to your friends.

With that done, just start using the stickers from the package you created.

To add new stickers to the same package, the process is identical. The only difference is that instead of selecting the “/newpack” command, you should choose “/addsticker.

Otherwise, just keep using the bots and they will help you with everything. The process will only take time if you have a lot of stickers to be added.

Pretty simple, isn't it? Now just start creating stickers and stickers of your favorite themes on Telegram.
