Stickers Bot for Telegram

You are in a chat, the perfect reaction is on the tip of your tongue, and you remember seeing a sticker of a grumpy cat with a coffee mug. Scrolling through hundreds of packs to find it takes forever. Stickers Bot cuts that down: type a word, get matching packs.

The bot has around 245 thousand users and does two jobs: it searches for stickers and it collects packs for a public selection.

Type a word, grab a pack

Search works with plain text and with hashtags. Send the bot a word like "cats", or use /s followed by a query. It replies with packs you can add in one tap.

Hashtags help when a query is too broad. If you want a specific theme such as anime, try a tag instead of a plain word and the results get tighter.

Random sticker for the indecisive

The /random command sends a random sticker. It is handy when you want to discover something new without thinking of a query. If a pack looks good, save it right away, because the same one may not come up twice.

Show your own pack to others

Made your own stickers and want people to see them? Send the bot any sticker from your set, or call /publish. The bot passes the pack along for consideration in a channel with sticker selections.

One thing to know: not everything gets published. The authors say plainly that they pick packs carefully, so expect that some submissions will not make it.

1. Check your pack. It should exist and be available through its link.
2. Send one sticker. Any sticker from the set tells the bot which pack you mean.
3. Wait for the decision. It depends on the quality and originality of the pack.

Commands at a glance

• /s searches stickers by name or hashtag.
• /random sends a random sticker.
• /publish submits your pack for publication.
• /create_pack points you toward making your own stickers.
• /reply is for feedback or reporting a problem.
• /help shows the help text.

Good to know before you start

The bot is bilingual, with a description in both Russian and English, so try queries in both languages. Pack names are often in English, and searching "cat" sometimes brings more than a Russian word does.

The bot has been around for years, so some selections may be old. If a pack will not add, its author may have deleted or renamed it. Try another query or let the team know through /reply.

Stickers 🎨 are also a matter of rights. If you submit your own pack, make sure the artwork is yours or you have the author's permission. Sending someone else's work under your name is a bad idea.

Finding stickers without the bot

The bot is not the only route. Telegram itself has a built-in sticker store in settings, and friends often share packs by link. The bot's advantage is that it finds things by keyword in seconds instead of making you browse a catalog.

If you collect packs, do not add everything. After a few months the sticker panel turns into a junk drawer and the one you need is harder to find. Once a season it makes sense to remove what you no longer use.

If you draw, the /create_pack command leads you toward making a set of your own. It is a good way to try your hand and later show the result in a public selection.
