How to Create Telegram Stickers of Your Cat with AI
Telegram stickers are one of the platform’s best features — and they’re even better when they feature your own cat. With AI sticker makers, you can turn a few photos of your cat into a complete sticker pack in minutes, without any design or photo editing skills.
This guide covers everything: creating the stickers, formatting them correctly, and adding them to Telegram as a usable sticker pack.
Telegram Sticker Requirements
Before creating stickers, know the technical specs:
| Type | Format | Size | File Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Static stickers | PNG (transparent background) | 512×512 px | Under 512 KB |
| Animated stickers | TGS (Lottie) | 512×512 px | Under 64 KB |
| Video stickers | WEBM | 512×512 px | Under 256 KB |
For AI-generated cat stickers, static PNG is the most practical format. The stickers PurrFam generates are already 512×512 with transparent backgrounds, ready for Telegram.
Step 1: Create Your Cat Stickers
Using PurrFam (Recommended for Cat Stickers)
- Go to PurrFam’s Telegram Cat Sticker Maker
- Upload 1-3 clear photos of your cat
- Select your pack size
- The AI generates a set of stickers featuring your cat in different expressions
- Download the pack — each sticker is a separate 512×512 transparent PNG
The advantage of using a cat-specific tool is that the AI understands feline expressions and anatomy, producing more natural-looking results than general-purpose sticker makers.
Step 2: Create a Sticker Pack on Telegram
Telegram uses the @Stickers bot to manage sticker packs. Here’s how:
Using @Stickers Bot
- Open Telegram and search for @Stickers (the official bot)
- Start a chat and send
/newpack - The bot asks for a pack name (this is the display name, like “Mittens the Cat”)
- Select Static sticker type
- Send your first sticker image (the 512×512 PNG)
- The bot asks you to send an emoji that corresponds to this sticker — pick one that matches the expression (😀 for happy, 😢 for sad, etc.)
- Repeat for each sticker in the pack
- When done, send
/publish - Choose a short name for the pack (this becomes the URL: t.me/addstickers/your_short_name)
- Your sticker pack is now live!
Sticker Pack Limits
- Up to 120 stickers per pack (static)
- Up to 50 stickers per pack (animated/video)
- No limit on the number of packs you can create
- Packs can be updated anytime (add, remove, reorder stickers)
Step 3: Share Your Sticker Pack
Once published, your sticker pack gets a shareable link: t.me/addstickers/your_short_name
Share it with friends, in group chats, or on social media. Anyone with the link can add the pack to their Telegram with one tap.
Tips for Getting More Users
- Share the link in cat-related Telegram groups
- Use the sticker pack yourself in conversations — other users will tap on your stickers to discover and add the pack
- Create a themed pack name that’s easy to search (e.g., “OrangeCatMittens” rather than “stickers123”)
Making Stickers Look Their Best
Photo tips for AI generation:
- Clear, well-lit photos produce the best results
- Front-facing angles work best for expressions
- Multiple photos from different angles give the AI more detail
- Avoid busy backgrounds — though the AI handles background removal automatically
Expression variety: A good sticker pack has a range of emotions. PurrFam packs typically include: happy, sad, angry, surprised, sleeping, laughing, love-eyes, waving, crying, eating, confused, and more. This gives you a sticker for every conversation.
Alternative: Making Stickers Manually
If you prefer a DIY approach:
- Remove the background from a cat photo using remove.bg or Photoshop
- Resize to 512×512 pixels with transparent background
- Save as PNG (under 512 KB)
- Use @Stickers bot to create the pack as described above
The manual method gives you more control but requires photo editing skills and significantly more time per sticker. For a full pack of 18 expressions, the AI route saves hours of work.
