Telegram static sticker size (512 px, PNG or WebP)
Telegram static stickers need one side exactly 512 pixels, a transparent-friendly PNG or WebP, and a file under 512 KB.
Step 1
Start with a still — or grab one frame
Drop a PNG, JPG, or WebP. If you drop a video, this preset exports a single frame from the trim, not a loop.
Step 2
Use the Telegram static preset
Square crop is on by default (512×512). Turn it off if you want a tall or wide sticker — the longer side stays exactly 512 px.
Step 3
Keep transparency when you have it
PNG and WebP both keep a clear background. Photos get a solid frame. Soft edges look cleaner than a hard box.
Step 4
Download and add it in Telegram
Open Stickers in Telegram (or @Stickers) and upload the file to a static pack. Stay under 512 KB — Auto prefers the smaller of PNG and WebP.
Tips
- Telegram also has video and animated sticker types with different rules. This preset is the static (image) path only.
- One side must be 512 px. Do not letterbox to 512×512 unless you want a square.
- A simple subject with padding inside the crop reads better in the chat bubble.
