Telegram stickers

Frequently asked questions

Is this the largest Telegram sticker catalogue?

Yes. The gramnews catalogue holds 8,785 sticker packs that Telegram channels linked to, across 25 themes. 30 were added in the last 24 hours. The largest themes: animals, reactions and emotions, cats and anime.

Which sticker packs are the most popular?

Popularity here is how many channels linked to the pack. The top five right now: Mood Pack, Timeless Book, Chill Flame, Pool Float and Clover Pin.

How do I make my own stickers?

Two ways. Inside Telegram: the sticker panel has an editor that cuts a sticker out of a photo. Or through the @Stickers bot — its mini app or the /newpack, /newanimated and /newvideo commands. A static sticker is a PNG or WEBP, 512 pixels on the long side.

How do I publish a sticker pack?

@Stickers publishes it: a finished pack gets a t.me/addstickers/<name> link that adds it in one tap — for example, t.me/addstickers/Bunnyta. Show the stickers and talk them over in the @tongentlemens chat. A pack enters the gramnews catalogue on its own once channels start linking to it.

What is .TGS and what are its requirements?

.TGS is Telegram's animated sticker format: a Lottie animation (JSON), gzipped. Canvas 512×512, up to 3 seconds, 60 frames per second, file up to 64 KB, looped. It is made in Adobe After Effects with the Bodymovin-TG plugin, and some features are forbidden: expressions, masks, layer effects, images, text, 3D layers, Merge Paths, star shapes, gradient strokes, repeaters, time stretching and time remapping. A video sticker is a VP9 WEBM with no audio, 512 pixels on a side, up to 3 seconds, up to 30 frames per second, up to 256 KB. Full documentation: core.telegram.org/stickers.

How many sticker packs does Telegram itself make?

Telegram released its first set on 2 January 2015, together with the sticker platform — 14 stickers drawn in-house. Animated stickers opened on 6 July 2019 with four sets by Telegram's artists: Bunnyta, OfficeTurkey, ResistanceDog and MelieTheCavy. For premium emoji it made 10 packs at the 2022 launch. Everything else is sets by authors, published through @Stickers.

How do I search for stickers?

The box above the board searches the pack's name, its t.me/addstickers link, words in the title, what the stickers depict, the theme and the sticker's emoji. Try «duck», «cats» or «memes». A query typed in the wrong keyboard layout is retried in the other one.
