In Discord, stickers and emoji belong to a server, not to a user. So to use Telegram stickers there, you upload them to a server where you can manage expressions. It takes a couple of minutes per sticker.
Stickers or emoji
| Discord sticker | Discord emoji | |

How to upload a sticker
1. Get the sticker as PNG
Send /original to @fStikBot and then the sticker. The bot replies with a PNG file with a transparent background. More details are in the download guide.
2. Resize it to 320×320
Telegram stickers are 512 pixels on the long side. Resize the PNG to 320×320 in any image editor, keeping the transparency.
3. Open the server settings
In Discord, open Server Settings → Stickers and click Upload Sticker.
4. Fill in and upload
Choose the file, give the sticker a name and a related emoji, and save. The sticker appears in the server's sticker panel.
Uploading emoji works the same way, through Server Settings → Emoji.
Animated stickers
Telegram's video (WEBM) and animated (TGS) stickers have to become APNG for Discord. The free converter sticker-convert does it in one go for a whole pack: set the input to Telegram (it needs a bot token from @BotFather) and the output to Discord. The app fits the size and file limits by itself.
Server limits
- Permission. You need to own the server or have the permission to manage expressions (emoji and stickers).
- Slots. A server starts with 5 sticker slots. Server boosts unlock more, and the emoji limit also grows with boosts.
- Using them elsewhere. Everyone uses the stickers inside the server; with Nitro, members can also send them in other servers.
Questions
Can I add a Telegram pack to Discord with a link?
No. Discord has no install links for packs: stickers are uploaded to each server separately.
Why does Discord say the file is invalid?
Usually the size isn't exactly 320×320 or the file is over 512 KB. Resize and compress the PNG, or run it through sticker-convert.
Can I use my own pack?
Of course. If you made it with @fStikBot, it's your work, and it's a nice way to bring your stickers to your community's server.
