Gift to Sticker: Gifts as Stickers

Someone sent you a beautiful gift in Telegram, and you want its animation as a sticker in your chats. Gift to Sticker promises exactly that: turn a gift into a sticker quickly. This is not a GIF file converter, it deals with Telegram gifts.

What the bot expects

The description is brief: "I can turn your Gift into a Sticker in no time." The bot has no menu or commands, so you send what you want converted and wait for the result.

We found no detailed public reviews, prices or instructions, so read the terms inside the bot. The catalog shows about 44 thousand users, with a few dozen active in a month.

Gift versus sticker 🎁

A gift in Telegram is an animated object sent to a person's profile. A sticker is a separate file in the messenger's format that you can send in chats and collect into sets.

Telegram has strict sticker requirements. Animated stickers use the TGS format and must stay small, while video stickers use WEBM and last only a few seconds. A converter fits the file to those rules.

• Static: an image of 512 pixels on the longest side.
• Animated: a lightweight TGS vector animation.
• Video stickers: a short clip in WEBM.

How to stay careful

Bots around gifts attract scammers: gifts cost money, and fraudsters hunt for accounts. If a bot asks you to log in with your phone number or enter a code, stop.

1. Never enter a login code or two-step password.
2. Do not hand over a gift to someone else's account "for a moment".
3. Do not prepay for a "release fee" or "speed-up".
4. Test on a gift you do not need, and never risk a valuable one.

What to do with the finished sticker

Once you have the file, add it to a personal set through Telegram's official sticker bot. There you pick a name, an emoji and the order. If the set is public, remember that another person's gift art should not be used as a sticker without permission.

Use stickers for yourself and friends, not to sell other people's work.

If the bot goes quiet

The bot is small and may stall. If there is no reply for several minutes, resend once, then wait. Repeated sends only clog the queue.

Need a clean image with no compression? For static stickers that works better than a screenshot. Files with lots of detail may lose some effects when scaled down.
