Tips that actually help
For Telegram users who want a personal sticker pack made from their own photos.
Size for 512 px
Telegram stickers are 512×512, so a subject that sits comfortably in a square with transparent edges works best.
Clean transparent edges
Telegram shows stickers directly on the chat background, so a crisp cutout with no leftover halo looks most professional.
Distinct expressions
Packs are more fun when each sticker has a clearly different pose or expression.
Plan the pack
Decide on 5–10 photos before you start so the pack feels intentional rather than random.
Export & format
Telegram stickers are 512×512 PNG (with one side exactly 512 px) and transparent. Export your transparent PNG here, then send it to the @Stickers bot in Telegram to create or add to your pack.
Platform format details are based on official documentation (reviewed July 2026): Telegram: Stickers documentation. Platform rules can change — check the source for the latest.
