<p>Starting today, anyone can quickly <strong>create stickers</strong> and <strong>entire sticker sets</strong> using a new <strong>powerful editor</strong> — without leaving Telegram.</p>
<h4><aclass="anchor"name="make-a-sticker"href="#make-a-sticker"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>Make a Sticker</h4>
<p>Just take <strong>any photo</strong> and <strong>add text</strong>, <strong>drawings</strong> — or countless <strong>animated stickers</strong>, <strong>emojis</strong> and <strong>GIFs</strong> that exist on the platform. Turning cats into visual art has never been easier in the history of humankind (and catkind).</p>

<p>It takes just one tap to <strong>cut out objects</strong> and remove the background. You can manually <strong>erase</strong> and <strong>restore</strong> parts of your photo – or <strong>add an outline</strong> for that classic sticker look.</p>
<!-- Or "...to give your stickers that classic sticker look" -->
<p>To start making stickers, open the sticker panel from your input field in any chat, then tap the inviting <strong>(+)</strong> button. </p>

<!-- Simply translate to "tap the **(+)** button" -->
<h4><aclass="anchor"name="add-it-to-a-set"href="#add-it-to-a-set"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>Add It to a Set</h4>
<p>When you're done, simply send the sticker – or <strong>create a sticker set</strong> so that friends can reuse your cut-out cats in their chats.</p>
<!-- Note: "cut-out cats ... chats" is important only because it's short, snappy and starts with similar sounds. If your language doesn't supply anything natural that shares similar qualitiyes, you can also translate to "so that friends can reuse your creations in their chats". -->

<p>To add a sticker to a set, <strong>choose the emojis</strong> that describe its <strong>emotion</strong>. Telegram will also use <strong>AI</strong> to suggest you emoji based on your image — like a cat, dog, or car.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>On Telegram, emojis act as shortcuts for stickers. When you type an emoji in a chat, Telegram automatically offers matching stickers you can send.</p>

<p>Since <ahref="https://telegram.org/evolution#january-2015">2015</a>, millions of artists and meme-makers have been using Telegram's open platform to share their creations.</p>
<p>You can <strong>add any existing stickers</strong> to your custom sets. For example, to bring all your favorites together in one pack — or to create themed collections.</p>

<p>We'll also announce <strong>16</strong> more new features this month, but first — don't you have some stickers to make?</p>
<!-- You can just use a neutral "We'll also announce 16 more new features this month, stay tuned." If you do use the jokingly rude tone of "don't you have some stickers to make?", make sure you strike the right balance — it shouldn't be offensive, but it also shouldn't be apologetic. In case of any doubt — do ask! -->
