Photo stickers

Create a Telegram Sticker from a Photo

Turn a photo into a Telegram sticker with AI or edit it manually in StickerPen, then publish the finished pack in one flow.

Choose an AI or manual workflow

Start with any clear portrait, pet photo, product image or illustration. StickerPen lets you generate a complete visual concept with AI or keep the original photo and edit it manually.

  • AI generation: add reference photos, describe the character and generate nine sticker ideas in one style.
  • Manual editing: remove the background, crop the subject and combine it with text or shapes.

1. Add a photo or reference

Use a sharp image with the subject clearly visible. Several angles and expressions help when you generate a full pack with AI.

2. Prepare the artwork

Remove distracting background areas, adjust the crop and keep enough margin around the subject. Use the mask tools to restore hair, fur or other fine details.

3. Build and publish the pack

Add the finished image to a slot, assign matching emoji and repeat the process for the remaining reactions. StickerPen prepares the dimensions and file format when you publish.

  • A clean silhouette that works on light and dark chats.
  • Large details and short, readable captions.
  • Consistent scale and outlines across the pack.
