- Send a video, photo, GIF, round video or Live Photo — with the paperclip 📎, as a regular message. Or a link to a YouTube, TikTok, X or Vimeo video.
- In 10–30 seconds the bot sends the sticker and a link to your pack. Open the link and tap “Add Stickers” — once.
- Tweak the sticker with the buttons under it — it gets replaced in your pack.
What to write in the caption
You can put wishes right into the caption of a video or photo — the bot understands the words in any order:
| Caption | What the bot does |
|---|---|
| “from 0:05”, “5–8” | Takes the clip from second 5, or exactly seconds 5–8 |
| “no bg” | Removes the background and keeps the subject; “cat” or “dog” — for animals, “anime” — for drawings |
| “circle”, “square”, “rounded” | The sticker's shape |
| “boomerang”, “loop”, “reverse” | Effect: forward and back, a seamless loop, backwards |
| “x2”, “x3”, “slow” | Speed: more video fits into the sticker — or the opposite |
| “emoji” | A 100×100 video emoji instead of a sticker |
| 🔥 (any emoji) | The sticker's emoji in the pack — Telegram suggests the sticker by it |
The bot understands the same words in Russian too, and replies in the language of your Telegram.

- Your stickers in any chat. Type “@vidsticker_bot” and a space in the message field — your stickers appear above it, newest first.

How it differs from @Stickers
@Stickers is Telegram's official bot: it builds a pack from ready-made files, and you have to make the stickers yourself first, in the right format. @vidsticker_bot makes the stickers itself — from any video, photo or GIF, with resizing, background removal and effects — and puts them straight into a pack. A pack created by the bot lives in Telegram like any other.
Questions and answers
Is the bot free?
Yes: stickers, emoji and round videos are free, with no ads and no forced channel subscriptions.
Why isn't the bot replying?
Sometimes Telegram delays messages. Wait a minute and send the video again. If that doesn't help, write to the group t.me/vidsticker_chat.
How big can the video be?
Telegram bots download files up to 20 MB. For larger videos the bot takes a smaller copy itself. If there's none, upload the video on the website — up to 200 MB.
What does the bot store?
The videos you send and the finished stickers — for up to 30 days, to improve quality, then we delete them. More in Privacy.
Do I need Telegram Premium?
No. Stickers and packs are available to everyone; Premium is only needed to send custom emoji in messages.
