Telegram receives major update and sticker editor

The popular Telegram messenger received a large-scale update, in which, along with a number of other changes, a convenient sticker editor also appeared. Now users can create their own stickers or sticker packs right inside the application, from almost any image - without clear requirements for format and resolution.

According to the company's blog, to create a new sticker, you need to click on the button with the sticker image in the message input line. In the panel that opens, click on the “+” button - and an editor will open in which you can select any photo and turn it into a sticker. It is also possible to crop an image, cut out an object, remove the background, add a caption, drawing, emoji, GIF or animated stickers from Telegram. You can also add a white outline to the cut-out object to improve visibility.

The new sticker can be immediately sent to the chat. You can also create a whole set of stickers - a sticker pack, with your own name. You can add any stickers that are in the messenger to the set.

There is also the opportunity to share your sticker pack with your interlocutor: when you click on the received sticker, he will be able to see all the pictures from the set.
