Is it free?
Yes. Video stickers, emoji and round videos are free to make,
and so is adding them to a pack.
How do I convert a video to a Telegram sticker?
Upload the
video above, choose up to 3 seconds on the frame strip and press “Make sticker”. The site encodes it to WEBM/VP9 at
512 px and under 256 KB, exactly as Telegram requires. Download the .webm, or open the editor in Telegram and add
the sticker to your pack in one tap.
Do I need to install anything?
No: the editor works in the browser on your
phone or computer. In Telegram there is the bot
@vidsticker_bot and its mini
app — the “Editor” button in the chat with the bot.
Which videos work?
MP4, MOV, WEBM, GIF, phone videos and Telegram round
videos. Up to 200 MB on the site and up to 20 MB through the bot — that's Telegram's limit for bots. You can also
paste a YouTube, TikTok, X, Reddit or Vimeo link: we take up to 3 minutes of the video.
Why is a sticker 3 seconds at most?
That's Telegram's rule. To fit more,
speed the video up ×2 or ×3. Need it longer and with sound? Make a round video — up to a minute.
Can I make Telegram video emoji?
Yes: choose “Emoji” and you get
a 100×100 video emoji in your own emoji pack. Sending custom emoji in messages requires Telegram Premium, but
everyone sees them.
How do I add the sticker to Telegram?
Open the editor in Telegram — the
“Open in Telegram” button at the top or the “Editor” button in @vidsticker_bot — and press “Add to pack”: we create
your personal pack and give you its link. Or just send the video to the bot, and it adds the sticker to your pack
itself.
What is a round video?
A Telegram video message in a circle. The
app only records them from the camera; here you can make one from any video, up to a minute and with sound. The bot
sends it to your chat, and you can forward it anywhere.
Can I make a sticker from a YouTube or TikTok video?
Yes: paste the link
under the upload box and set where to start in the “from 0:00” field next to it — no need to download the video.
You can also send the link to the bot with a caption like “from 1:30”. We take up to 3 minutes. For personal use
only — the rights stay with the video's author.
What happens to my videos?
Videos and finished stickers are kept for up to
30 days to improve the service, then deleted. To have them deleted sooner, email
support@vidsticker.ru. Details are in the
privacy policy.
