vidstickerHow to make a Telegram sticker from a TikTok or YouTube video
A funny moment from a video can become a sticker with no downloads and no converters. Send the link to @vidsticker_bot or paste it in the online editor — our server grabs the part of the video you need, and you pick three seconds for the sticker.
How to make a sticker from a link with the bot
- Copy the video link. In TikTok — Share → Copy link; in YouTube — Share → Copy.
- Open @vidsticker_bot and send the link as a regular message.
- Need a moment other than the start? Add the time: “… from 1:30” or a range “1:30–1:33”. A link with a timestamp (YouTube's Share → Start at 1:30) works too.
- The bot downloads up to 3 minutes of the video, makes a sticker from the moment you asked for and adds it to your pack. Wrong moment? Shift it with “⏪ 1 s”, “1 s ⏩” and “3 s ⏭”.
How to make a sticker from a link online
- Open vidsticker.com and paste the link into “or paste a YouTube, TikTok or X link…”.
- In the “from” field next to it, set where to start — like 1:30. If the link has a timestamp, it fills in by itself.
- Tap Load. The server downloads up to 3 minutes of the video — then it's like any other video: the moment on the frame strip, shape, text, background.
- Tap “Make sticker”.
Which sites work
YouTube (and Shorts), TikTok, X (Twitter), Reddit, Pinterest, Vimeo, Twitch, VK Video and Rutube. Private videos and videos that need a login can't be downloaded — save such a video to your phone and send it as a file or upload it on the website.
If it didn't work
- “YouTube refused the server”. YouTube sometimes asks to confirm the request isn't from a bot. Try again in a few minutes or send the video as a file.
- “The video is private or needs a login”. Such a video can only be uploaded as a file.
- The moment is past the end. The bot tells you how long the video is — pick an earlier moment.
- It takes a while. Long high-quality videos take up to a minute to download — the bot will reply on its own.
Other people's videos — for personal use
The rights stay with the video's author: stickers from other people's videos are for your own chats. Remember that anyone with the link can open a sticker pack — don't build packs of other people's content to sell or promote.
Questions and answers
Do I need to download the video?
No. A link is enough — our server downloads the part you need.
How much of the video is taken?
The server takes up to 3 minutes from the moment you set, so you have room to choose. The sticker itself is up to 3 seconds — Telegram's rule.
How do I set the moment?
In the bot — in the same message after the link: “from 1:30” or “1:30–1:33”. On the website — in the “from” field next to the link. A timestamp in the link (?t=90) fills in by itself.
Can I make a round video from it?
Yes: the “⭕ Round video” button under the sticker in the bot or “Round video” on the website — a video message up to a minute long, with sound. Round video
Is it free?
Yes, with no channel subscriptions and no ads.
