Questions and answers

Is it free?

Yes. In the bot, the mini app and on the website when you sign in with Telegram, there are no limits: stickers, emoji, round videos, background removal, Copycat and emotion packs. Without signing in, the website gives you 5 stickers a day. No ads and no forced subscriptions to other channels.

How do I convert an MP4 video to a Telegram sticker?

Upload the MP4 (or any other video) above, choose up to 3 seconds on the frame strip and press “Make sticker”. The site encodes it to WEBM/VP9 at 512 px and under 256 KB, exactly as Telegram requires. Download the .webm, or log in with Telegram and add the sticker to your pack in one tap. Prefer the command line? See MP4 to WEBM for Telegram stickers.

Do I need to install anything?

No: the editor works in the browser on your phone or computer. In Telegram there is the bot @vidsticker_bot and its mini app — the “Editor” button in the chat with the bot.

Which videos work?

MP4, MOV, WEBM, GIF, phone videos and Telegram round videos. Up to 200 MB on the site and up to 20 MB through the bot — that's Telegram's limit for bots. You can also paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or X link — or one from a few more sites: we take up to 3 minutes of the video.

Why is a sticker 3 seconds at most?

That's Telegram's rule. To fit more, speed the video up ×2 or ×3. Need it longer and with sound? Make a round video — up to a minute.

Can I make Telegram video emoji?

Yes: choose “Emoji” and you get a 100×100 video emoji in your own emoji pack. Sending custom emoji in messages requires Telegram Premium, but everyone sees them.

How do I add the sticker to Telegram?

Log in with Telegram (the button at the top): the bot @vidsticker_bot asks you to confirm, and that's it. Then press “Add to pack” — we create your personal pack and give you its link. Or just send the video to the bot, and it adds the sticker to your pack itself.

The sticker didn't show up in Telegram. What should I do?

Restart Telegram: the app shows packs from its cache, so a new sticker appears in the panel with a delay. On a phone, close Telegram completely — swipe it away from recent apps — and open it again; on a computer, quit Telegram (⌘Q on a Mac) and start it again; in a browser, reload the page. If the pack is new, open its link first and tap “Add Stickers”.

What is a round video?

A Telegram video message in a circle. The app only records them from the camera; here you can make one from any video, up to a minute and with sound. The bot sends it to your chat, and you can forward it anywhere.

Can I make a sticker from a YouTube or TikTok video?

Yes: paste the link under the upload box and set where to start in the “from 0:00” field next to it — no need to download the video. You can also send the link to the bot with a caption like “from 1:30”. We take up to 3 minutes. For personal use only — the rights stay with the video's author.

Can I make a sticker right in a conversation?

Yes: in a chat with a friend or in a group, reply to a video with “@vidsticker_bot” — the bot posts the sticker there and adds it to your pack. See the guest mode guide.

What happens to my videos?

Videos and finished stickers are kept for up to 7 days to improve the service, then deleted. To have them deleted sooner, email support@vidsticker.com. Details are in the privacy policy.
