Understand Telegram sticker formats before exporting: static PNG/WebP, animated TGS, video WebM VP9, 512px sizing, file limits, emoji mapping, and pack sharing.

Static stickers

Use PNG or WebP with transparency for illustrated reactions, object cutouts, food stickers, and simple pack artwork.

Animated and video stickers

TGS is best for compact vector motion. WebM VP9 is better for high-detail short motion, but it requires careful file-size control.

Emoji mapping matters

Associate each sticker with an emoji that matches its emotion. This makes the pack easier to find inside Telegram.
