What size is a Telegram profile photo?

Telegram profile photos are stored at up to 640×640 pixels. Telegram displays them at various sizes, but uploading at 640×640 ensures the best quality in all contexts.

What size are Telegram stickers?

Telegram static stickers must be exactly 512×512 pixels as PNG with a transparent background. The longest side must be exactly 512px. Animated stickers use TGS (Lottie) format.

What size is a Telegram channel photo?

Telegram channel and group photos are stored at 640×640 pixels, displayed as circles in chat lists and channel headers.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.

What is the difference between Telegram static and animated stickers?

Static stickers are 512×512 PNG files with a transparent background. Animated stickers use Telegram's TGS format (Lottie-based JSON) and video stickers use WEBM. This tool handles the static PNG format.

Why Use This Tool?

Telegram is a fast-growing messaging platform known for its feature-rich sticker system. Static Telegram stickers have an unusual requirement — exactly 512×512 pixels, with the main artwork touching the edges. Unlike WhatsApp stickers, Telegram stickers should use the full canvas. Getting these dimensions right is essential for creating your own sticker packs.

Privacy First — 100% Client-Side

Your images are processed entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to any server. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet after loading the page — the tool works offline.

Tip: Unlike WhatsApp stickers that need padding around the artwork, Telegram stickers should fill the full 512×512 canvas edge-to-edge. The sticker art should touch the boundaries of the frame — Telegram handles the visual separation in chat automatically.

Tips for Telegram Images

Profile photos (640×640) are shown as circles — keep your main subject in the center, away from the corners.
Static stickers must be exactly 512×512 PNG. The artwork should reach the edges of the canvas (unlike WhatsApp which needs padding). Transparent background is required.
Animated stickers use Telegram's TGS format (Lottie JSON) — not covered by this image resizer, but the source artwork should still be 512×512.
Channel photos are particularly important for public channels and bots — they appear alongside the channel name in search results and the chat list.
Telegram supports WebP upload for profile photos — WebP files are smaller than PNG or JPG, which can speed up profile loads in low-bandwidth situations.
