Telegram is an instant messaging app that has competed with WhatsApp for popularity since its launch. Furthermore, its features have been pioneering in this market, setting a benchmark for messaging options. However, it lacked a sticker editing feature until now.
This feature lets you create stickers from a photo in your gallery, or you can create one instantly . It also provides editing tools to personalize your photos and add stickers, text, colors, emojis, and more. Let's see how this tool works, which, strangely enough, WhatsApp released before Telegram.
How to use the Telegram sticker editor step by step
Stickers are digital decals that have become very popular in user communication through instant messaging apps. These animated drawings can be created and customized directly on platforms like Telegram, making them a great way to have your own designs and share them with other users.
The sticker editing option was first launched on WhatsApp , which is unusual considering that Telegram pioneered many of the features now used by Meta's messaging app. Apparently, you can't always be first in everything, and today we'll tell you step by step how to create and edit your own stickers on Telegram :
- Open Telegram.
- Enter a conversation with any contact you want.
- In the bar to send messages, just on the left side the stickers icon appears, press it.
- Just below where all the stickers appear you will see a huge button with the plus symbol «+«.
- Tapping it will open the image gallery and the option to take a photo.
- Select the photo you want to convert into stickers.
- The system will automatically show you the option to "crop an object", press this button and it will instantly erase the background of the selected image.
- If you want to reverse the process, click on «restore«.
- Add an outline and finish the process.
- You can add them to your favorites, in a pack or send it. If you select the pack you must enter a name and if you add it to favorites it will be seen in this section ready to use whenever you want.
With these simple steps, you can now have your own custom stickers on Telegram. Just go back to the stickers section and send them in your next conversation. If you liked this article, share it with other users so everyone knows how to do it.
