So how do you make a sticker on Telegram? There are several things that need to be considered before making this sticker. This article will review these things in depth, so that they can help you make stickers with your own designs.
Make Sticker in Telegram Application from Desktop
- Make sure the Telegram file or image format is appropriate
If you want to make a sticker with your own image design, make sure the desired image format is correct, which is PNG. You can edit images with the Photoshop application. Use a transparent background and make sure it’s 512px resolution with a file size of 350kb. Why do you have to be small? So it’s easy when changed by Telegram. It is highly recommended to have an outline that is white and has a shadow.
- Upload Sticker to Telegram Application
After you prepare an image / photo that will be converted into a sticker, the next step is to upload the image to the telegram application. Use Telegram for Web when uploading images. Then follow the following steps:
- Type in the contact search for the sticker username, namely @Stickers
If you have found it, then please continue by sending the command / newpack message to create a new set of stickers. Where the sticker bot will reply with a message instructing you to type a name on the Telegram sticker you want to create.
Give a name to the image that will be converted into the sticker, for example “stickerminime”. Here the sticker bot will again provide instructions for you to send an emoji that can represent your sticker later. Please select an emoticon that is next to the mic icon.
Upload the image file that will be converted into a sticker. The trick is to click the attachment icon to add files. Then the bot will reply back and notify you that the image has been converted into a sticker.
Next you have to send the command “/ publish”. Then the bot will ask you to rename the sticker again. Where this name will later be used as a link that can be used when you want to add / create the next sticker. Your sticker can be used and shared with others.
Make Telegram Sticker from Android
If earlier the tutorial for making Telegram stickers was made via PC / desktop, now is the time to review how to make Telegram stickers using cellphones only. Come on, see the full review!
To make stickers via Android is actually not much different, it’s just that you no longer use Photoshop to edit photos but android applications such as PicsArt or StickIt !.
StickIt!
The function of this application is to cut photos or images that will be converted into stickers. As for how to crop photos / images using StickIt as follows:
The first step, please choose a photo / image from your cellphone gallery. After that, the smart cut or manual cut menu options will appear.
To be more practical and fast, you can choose the smart cut menu, then there are several photo editing menus. Select the FG button and mark the part of the image you want to cut.
If the cropped image is not neat, then edit it manually using the yellow brush icon button on the top row.
Select the selected menu then save. The saved photos will be saved automatically on your cellphone gallery. Images that have been edited using this application are in PNG format. Because to make a telegram sticker there are image requirements that must be met. Such size should not be more than 350kb with 512x512px pixels. Therefore, images that have been saved should be edited again using the PicsArt application.
PicsArt
The PicsArt application can actually be used to cut images or edit the background to be transparent. Unfortunately there is no automatic editing option and it’s a bit difficult, so this application should only be used to convert sizes.
You do this by taking an image that has been edited using StickIt earlier. Then select tool mode and select resize. There are several size options, please choose 512 × 512 pixels. Your edited photo is ready to be turned into a sticker.
Inserting Images / Photos into the Telegram Application
Open the telegram application, then look for the @Stickers contact. You can start a conversation with a sticker bot. No need for further ado, just go ahead and get to the point of why you contacted a sticker bot.
Send message / newpack. Wait for a reply from the sticker bot which will ask you to send a name for the sticker that you want to make. If the name you mentioned has been used by someone else, usually the sticker bot will give a failure warning. You can use this name later to group the stickers according to their categories. For example, “anti-upset”, so later the stickers that fall into that category will only be about anti-upset stickers.
Enter the image that you prepared beforehand and the next step is to send emoticons that can represent your sticker later. For example, if your sticker is identical to a photo of a smiling person. Finally, you click / publish with the aim that the stickers can be used immediately and distributed to others.
Some of the command messages contained in the sticker bot
- / newpack: this message can be used when you want to create or add a new sticker pack
- / addsticker: this message is an automatic message to instruct the sticker bot to add stickers to the previously created package.
