This tool needs JavaScript. Turn it on in your browser — or use the Telegram bot below, it does the same.

Pick an image and download it at Telegram's sticker size: one side exactly **512 px**, the other 512 px or less, as **PNG** or **WEBP** with transparency kept. That's the format @Stickers and Telegram's sticker editor expect for static stickers.

Works in your browser: what you type or choose stays on your device and is not uploaded anywhere.

## How to use it

1. **Choose an image** —  Tap **Choose an image** and pick a picture from your gallery or files.
2. **Pick the format** —  PNG works everywhere. WEBP is smaller; some browsers (for example Safari) can't save it.
3. **Download** —  Tap **Download**. The longer side is now exactly 512 px and the proportions are kept.

## Why do it here

- **Nothing is uploaded** The file is processed on your device, so private photos and documents stay with you.
- **Free, no sign-up** No account, no daily limit and no watermark on the result.
- **Works on your phone** Open the page in any browser on iPhone or Android and pick a file from the gallery.
- **Also in Telegram** Prefer a chat? The bot below does the same right in Telegram.

## Questions

**What size is a Telegram sticker?**

A static sticker is a PNG or WEBP where one side is exactly 512 px and the other is 512 px or less ([Telegram limits](https://handybots.tools/en/guides/telegram-limits-cheat-sheet/) ).

**Does this remove the background?**

No, it only resizes. Transparent parts of a PNG stay transparent. To cut out a person or a pet automatically, send the photo to @StickerMakerFromPhotoBot.

**Can I make a video sticker here?**

No, video stickers are WEBM files. Send a video or GIF to @StickerMakerFromPhotoBot — it makes a video sticker from the first seconds.

**Is my image uploaded?**

No. The browser resizes it on your device; the page has no upload.
