How to make Telegram stickers of yourself

Updated October 14, 2026 · 3 min read

The liveliest stickers are of yourself: your face, your reactions, your catchphrases. You can make one from a selfie or a short video — a neural network removes the background, and only you stay on the sticker. Below — how to make it, how to film it so it's funny, and which stickers to put in your pack.

How to make a sticker of yourself with the bot

1. Take a selfie or a 2–5 second video: surprise, laughter, a nod, a wink, a facepalm.
2. Send it to @vidsticker_bot with the caption “no bg”. Add an effect too — “boomerang” turns a nod into an endless “yes-yes-yes”.
3. The bot sends the sticker and adds it to your pack. Wrong moment? Shift it with “⏪ 1 s” and “1 s ⏩” under the sticker.

How to make a sticker of yourself online

1. Open vidsticker.com and upload a selfie or a video.
2. For a video, pick the moment on the frame strip.
3. On the Background tab choose “People, animals and objects”.
4. Optionally add text on the Text tab and the Circle shape. Tap “Make sticker”.

How to film it so the sticker works

• Good light, plain background. Face a window, stand against a plain wall. The neural network traces hair and hands more precisely.
• Close up. In a chat a sticker is palm-sized: film from the waist up or closer, the face should fill a good part of the frame.
• One emotion per sticker. 1–3 seconds: started smiling — smiled. The frame strip cuts the rest.
• Gestures read better than words. Thumbs up, a heart with your hands, a palm to the face, a shrug.
• A short caption turns a sticker into a reply: “OK”, “On my way”, “Seriously?!”. How to add text

Ideas for your own sticker pack

A set of 10–15 stickers covers almost any chat. Here's where to start:

• “Hi” — a wave; “Bye” — the same with Reverse.
• “OK” — thumbs up; “Yes-yes” — a nod with Boomerang.
• “Haha” — laughing with your head back.
• “What?” — surprise; “Hmm” — a finger on your chin.
• Facepalm, “Sleepy”, “Running late”, “Thanks”, “Love you” — a heart with your hands.

All stickers go into one pack. Keep personal ones in a separate pack: /newpack Me in the chat with the bot. How packs work

Only with consent

Stickers of yourself — go ahead; of friends — if they don't mind. Making stickers from other people's private videos without permission is against the service rules. And remember: anyone you send a sticker to can open its whole pack.
