Make a Telegram sticker with a transparent background

Turn a moment from any video into a transparent Telegram sticker: GifNoBg removes the background, then add it with Telegram's @Stickers bot.

1 min read · Updated 3 November 2026

Telegram stickers are added with Telegram's own @Stickers bot. GifNoBg makes the transparent picture; the bot turns it into a sticker pack you can share.

What Telegram accepts

  • Still stickers: PNG or WebP with a transparent background, 512 pixels on one side, up to 512 KB.
  • Video stickers: WEBM video (VP9), 512 pixels on one side, up to 3 seconds and 256 KB.

GifNoBg doesn't make WEBM video yet, so Telegram stickers from GifNoBg are still stickers. If you send a GIF in a Telegram chat instead, Telegram turns it into a short video and the transparent background is lost.

Make the sticker

  1. Open your video at gifnobg.com and let the AI remove the background.
  2. Move the playhead to the frame you like best.
  3. Switch on Advanced, open Export → Custom and choose PNG of this frame. You get a transparent PNG.
  4. If needed, resize it so the longest side is 512 pixels (most phones' photo editors can do this).
The Advanced export panel where PNG of this frame is found
PNG of this frame lives under Advanced → Export → Custom.

Add it to Telegram

  1. In Telegram, open a chat with @Stickers (Telegram's official bot).
  2. Start a new sticker pack and follow the bot's messages: send your PNG as a file (not as a photo, which would lose the transparency), then pick an emoji for it.
  3. Publish the pack and give it a short name. You can add more stickers to it any time.
