DuoSticker: Make Your Own Stickers

A funny photo of a friend, a good moment from a video or a meme from your group chat just begs to become a sticker. But fiddling with sizes and transparent backgrounds is a chore. DuoSticker does that work right in the chat. 🎨

The bot's description says it helps you create stickers and packs, collect them and share with friends. Let us see what that looks like in practice.

Four commands instead of an editor

The bot's menu is lean, and almost everything runs on commands. Each one covers a separate scenario.

• /createnewstickerpic. Makes a sticker from a photo.
• /createnewstickervid. Makes a sticker from a video, so it moves.
• /createcollection. Combines your stickers into one pack.
• /catalog. Opens the sticker catalog, where you can browse ready-made sets.

The /start command shows the main menu if you get lost. 📨

The photo that becomes a sticker

Start simple: send a picture and get a sticker back. For a good result, choose frames where the subject or face is clearly separated from the background.

Tiny details and busy backdrops turn to mush at a small size. A close-up with a clear outline reads best.

Video and motion

A video sticker brings a reaction to life: a laugh, a gesture, a cat dancing. Short clips beat long ones, because a sticker has to read in a second or two.

Trim the clip to its most expressive moment before sending. 🎥

Building your own pack

1. Make several stickers from photos or videos.
2. Start /createcollection.
3. Pick the stickers that should go into the set.
4. Give the pack a clear name and share it with friends.

A good pack holds on one idea: characters from one friend group, reactions to one theme, memes from your own chat. Ten good stickers are worth more than a hundred random ones.

Copyright and privacy

Before you turn other people's photos into stickers, think about the people in them. A friend's face belongs in a shared set only with their consent.

The same goes for pictures from the internet: if you plan to publish a pack, use your own shots. Telegram's official sticker bot can also create sets, and it is the place to check the image requirements that apply right now. 🔐

Who it is for

The bot suits bloggers and chat admins who want their own reactions, and anyone who wants to surprise friends with a personal pack. For complex graphics and animation, use a dedicated editor. For quick stickers from ready-made frames, the bot is simpler.
