vidstickerHow to turn a round video into a sticker and make round stickers
A great round video message is a shame to lose in a chat. You can turn it into a sticker: round, with transparent corners, in your sticker pack. And a round sticker can be made from any other video or photo too.
How to turn a round video into a sticker
- Find the round video in any chat — yours or one a friend sent.
- Forward it to @vidsticker_bot: press and hold the video → Forward → the chat with the bot.
- The bot makes a round sticker from the first three seconds and adds it to your pack. Need another moment? Shift it with “1 s ⏩” and “3 s ⏭” under the sticker.
- “✨ Effect” under the sticker has “↔️ Boomerang” for a nod or a laugh and “🔁 Loop” for a seamless repeat.
You can also record a round video just for a sticker — right in the chat with the bot: hold the camera button next to the message field, like for any round video.
A round sticker from any video or photo
- In the bot — the caption “circle” on a video or photo, or “◻️ Shape” → “⚪️ Circle” under a finished sticker.
- On the website — the Frame tab → Circle. A round frame appears: move it onto the face and tap “Make sticker”.
Sticker shapes
| Shape | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| Original | A rectangle in the video's proportions — the long side is 512 px |
| Square | 512×512 — handy for faces and objects |
| Rounded | A square or rectangle with rounded corners, like a card |
| Circle | A circle with transparent corners — like a round video, but a sticker |
Want no frame at all — just the person or pet? Remove the background: sticker without background.
The other way round — a round video from any video
Any video can also become a round video message itself — with sound, up to a minute, ready to forward to anyone. How to make a round video

No, Telegram stickers are silent. Round videos keep the sound.
Can I make an emoji from a round video?
Yes: the “😀 Video emoji” button under the sticker makes a round emoji from the same video.
Can I remove the background of a round video?
Yes — with the background removal button under the sticker: only the person stays.
Can I make a sticker from someone else's round video?
Only if they don't mind. Making stickers from other people's private videos without permission is against the service rules.
