Make custom emoji and stickers

Saw a friend with an emoji of their own face or a favorite cat and wanted one too? You do not need a designer. This bot turns your photos, videos and GIFs into emoji and stickers in one click.

It has a large audience and a long list of commands, so it helps to know what is what.

Three jobs the bot handles

The bot description names three scenarios. They differ, so pick the one you need.

• Create from scratch. Take a photo, video or GIF and get an emoji or sticker.
• Convert. A ready sticker pack becomes a set of emoji.
• Collect your own. Favorite emoji and stickers can be merged into one set.

Commands worth knowing

The menu is big. Here is what matters most.

• /new creates a new set.
• /add adds a sticker to a set.
• /list shows your stickers.
• /copy copies a pack.
• /editemoji changes the hint emoji.
• /delete removes a sticker.
• /catalog opens a catalog of emoji and stickers.
• /create_status makes an "I heart Name" status.
• /language changes the language, /subscription shows the subscription, /help opens the guide.

Your first set in five minutes

1. Send /new and name the set.
2. Upload a file: a photo, a short video or a GIF.
3. Add more images with /add.
4. Check the result in /list and fix hint emoji with /editemoji.

Play with one set before you make ten. You will quickly see which frames come out sharp.

How emoji differ from stickers

A sticker is a standalone picture that you send as a message. A custom emoji sits in a line of text, and its size matches an ordinary icon.

That is why emoji work best with simple, high-contrast images: fine detail disappears at a small size. Stickers can handle brighter, more detailed pictures.

Tips for source material

The best material for emoji is a close-up portrait on a plain background. For GIFs, pick short loops: they upload more easily and do not wear out the viewer.

If a picture is dark, brighten it in your phone gallery first. The bot works with what it gets and will not rescue a poor frame.

Subscription and limits

The menu contains /subscription, so some features may be paid. Prices were not found in open sources, and the bot shows them itself.

Remember also that using custom emoji in your own messages generally requires Telegram Premium. Making a set and using it are different things, so check this ahead of time.

When using other people's images

• Copyright. Other artists' drawings and movie frames are best not turned into public sets.
• Photos of people. Ask permission before making an emoji of someone's face.
• Quality. A sharp source gives a sharp result.
• Size. Short videos and GIFs upload faster.

If the bot misbehaves, its profile points to a separate help account. Use that rather than messaging random people.
