<divid="dev_page_content"><p>The easiest way to create stickers on Telegram is to simply upload them using the <ahref="https://t.me/stickers">@stickers</a> bot. This bot can help you <strong>upload new stickers</strong>, <strong>create sticker packs</strong> and get <strong>usage stats</strong> for your stickers and packs.</p>
<p>Telegram also offers a platform for developers of apps that <strong>help</strong> users <strong>make their own stickers</strong>. For example, apps that allow people to upload pictures of themselves and turn them into stickers.</p>
<h3><aclass="anchor"name="who-is-this-for"href="#who-is-this-for"><iclass="anchor-icon"></i></a>Who is this for?</h3>
<p><strong>USE this:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>To help people <strong>make</strong> their own <strong>unique custom stickers</strong>.</li>
<li>To help people <strong>migrate</strong> their unique custom stickers they created <strong>from another platform</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>DON'T use this:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>To share stickers you uploaded with other Telegram users.</li>
<li>Instead, just upload your stickers using the <ahref="https://t.me/stickers">@stickers</a> bot and <strong>share the link</strong> of your pack (e.g. <ahref="https://t.me/addstickers/UtyaDuck"><ahref="https://t.me/addstickers/UtyaDuck">https://t.me/addstickers/UtyaDuck</a></a>).</li>
</ul>
<p>In short, if a set of stickers is <strong>already available on Telegram</strong>– there's <strong>no need</strong> to import it!</p>
<p>As of <ahref="https://telegram.org/blog/animated-backgrounds#importing-stickers">version 7.8</a>, Telegram apps support a simple API for importing stickers.</p>

<p><strong>WARNING:</strong> Each time a user imports stickers, a <strong>new sticker pack</strong> is created on Telegram. <strong>Do not use</strong> the importing feature to share stickers you made with <em>other</em> users. If you want to share your stickers, simply upload them using <ahref="https://t.me/stickers">@stickers</a> and share the <strong>link</strong> of your pack. For example, here's a link to install some <ahref="https://t.me/addstickers/UtyaDuck">Duck Stickers</a>.</p>
<p>We have created libraries and sample apps for <ahref="https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/TelegramStickersImport">iOS</a> and <ahref="https://github.com/DrKLO/TelegramStickersImport">Android</a> which you can use to implement importing stickers to Telegram from your app.</p>
<p>Telegram apps support two sticker types. Regardless of the type, each sticker must be associated with <strong>at least one emoji</strong> that expresses the emotion corresponding to the sticker.</p>
<p>Must be in <strong>TGS</strong> format, created using the <ahref="https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/bodymovin-extension">Bodymovin-TG plugin for Adobe After Effects</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Animated webp is <strong>NOT</strong> supported, only static webp is supported for <ahref="#static-stickers">static stickers</a>. Animated stickers must be in <strong>TGS</strong> format.</p>
<p>Must be in <strong>PNG</strong> or <strong>WEBP</strong> format with a <strong>transparent layer</strong>. All static stickers should use <strong>white stroke</strong> and <strong>shadow</strong>, exactly like in this example: <ahref="https://telegram.org/img/StickerExample.psd">StickerExample.psd</a></p>
<p>Max. size: <strong>512 KB</strong><br>Max. dimensions: <strong>512x512 px</strong>, at least one side of the image must be 512px.</p>
