Create a sticker for Telegram

How to make Telegram stickers

The first step for make Telegram stickers is to prepare the image of your interest which, subsequently, will have to be uploaded to the famous messaging service using a special bot.

Before you get started, however, it will be useful to know that the image to use as a sticker must be in PNG format with a transparent background and must have one side of the size equal to 512px and another side of dimensions equal to or less than 512px. My advice, as a matter of convenience, is to create your computer image using a program like GIMP, available for free for Windows and macOS. In that regard, my guide on how to download GIMP may be useful.



To create your image from scratch, start the program just mentioned, click on the item Fillet in the top menu and select the option New, then enter 512 In fields Width e Height e pulsing sul pulsating OK to access the GIMP workspace. Then use the tools in the left bar to create your image and, once your work is finished, click on the items Fillet ed Export as to save the file in PNG format. To learn more, I leave you to my guide on how to use GIMP.

If, on the other hand, you have downloaded an image from the Internet and you want to set the transparency and the suitable size to create a sticker for Telegram, start GIMP, click on the options Fillet e apri and select the image to edit. Now, select the Image option in the top menu, click on the item Image scale, insert 512 In fields Width e Height e pulsing sul pulsating Ladder. This procedure is valid if the original image is square and with each side larger than 512px. If not, I recommend that you crop the image first and then use the function Image scale. In that regard, my guides on how to edit photos with GIMP and how to resize an image with GIMP may be useful to you.



Finally, to set the transparency, click on the entry Subscription and choose your options Transparency e Add alpha layer, then select the tool a free hand (l'icona della rope) and select the subject of your interest. Now, click on the tool rectangular selection (l'icona del square) from the toolbar, click on the item Selection, scegli l'opzione Invert and delete the selected portion of the image using the keyboard commands Ctrl + x on Windows and cmd + x on Mac. Finally, click on the items Select e Nothing, export the image and that's it. For the detailed procedure I leave you to my guides on how to make the background of an image transparent and how to cut out an image.

Alternatively, if you want to make things easier, you can use Remove BG, an online service that allows you to remove the background from images with just a few clicks. To use this free service, connected to its official website, click on the button Select a photo (or sull'opzione Enter a URL if your image is online) and select the image of your interest. Wait for the processing of the latter and press the button Download to download the edited photo to your computer.
