How to Add Custom Stickers to Telegram

Short answer: In any Telegram chat, open the sticker panel, tap +, import each Sticker3x3 PNG, assign an emoji, then create or expand a sticker set and publish it. Telegram lets anyone create and share complete sets inside the app.

Before you start

Create and unlock your pack on Sticker3x3, then download the sticker files (WebP or ZIP). The steps below cover how to get those files into Telegram.

Step-by-step

1. Open any Telegram chat.
2. Open the sticker panel.
3. Tap +.
4. Select a Sticker3x3 sticker file.
5. Check the preview and avoid applying background removal again if the full design is already visible.
6. Choose an emoji that matches the sticker.
7. Select Create a sticker set or add it to your new set.
8. Repeat for all nine stickers.
9. Name and publish the set.
10. Share one sticker or copy the set’s t.me link.

Good to know

• If Telegram offers background removal, skip it when your Sticker3x3 sticker already has the finished design and transparent edge.
• From your unlocked pack, Add to Telegram opens this guide.

FAQ

Can I share a full Telegram sticker set? Yes. After you publish the set, share a sticker from it or copy the set’s t.me link.

Should I remove the background again in Telegram? Usually no. Sticker3x3 stickers are already prepared — extra cutout can erase captions or decorations.
