Telegram sticker maker: 512×512, transparent, bot-ready

Telegram's @stickers bot is picky in exactly two ways: the canvas must be 512×512 and a static WebP must land under 512KB. This exporter renders both, with transparency preserved, so the bot accepts the file on the first /newpack attempt.

For animated packs it records your motion preset as a real 512×512 WebM video sticker — the format Telegram added in 2022 — instead of a GIF the bot would reject.

How to publish on Telegram

  1. Design the sticker. AI-generate, upload, or pick a template. Keep the subject big — Telegram renders stickers small in chat.
  2. Pick static or video. Static exports a 512×512 WebP. Any motion preset exports a WebM video sticker of three seconds or less.
  3. Send it to @stickers. Open Telegram, message @stickers, /newpack, send the file, assign an emoji. Done.

Questions

What size are Telegram stickers?

512×512 pixels, one side must be exactly 512. Static stickers are WebP under 512KB; video stickers are WebM (VP9), 512×512, three seconds maximum, under 256KB.

Why won't the @stickers bot take my GIF?

Telegram animated stickers are not GIFs — they are either TGS (Lottie) or WebM video stickers. Export the WebM here and the bot accepts it.

Do I need Photoshop or After Effects?

No. The whole pipeline runs in your browser; the export is already in spec for the bot.
