Signal is the only big messenger besides Telegram where a pack installs from a link: you upload it once and share a signal.art/addstickers/... address. So moving a pack from Telegram to Signal is worth doing properly, and then anyone can add it with one tap.
What you need
- Signal Desktop on a computer, linked to Signal on your phone. Packs are created only in the desktop app.
- The sticker files. Get them from @fStikBot or download the whole pack (see below).
Signal sticker requirements
| Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Static sticker | Separate PNG or WebP file |
| Animated sticker | APNG |
| File size | Up to about 300 KB each |
| Stickers per pack | Up to 200 |
| Editing | Not possible after upload |
Way 1: static stickers through Signal Desktop
1. Get the stickers as PNG
Send /original to @fStikBot and then each sticker you want. The bot replies with PNG files with transparent backgrounds. Save them to one folder. More details are in the download guide.
2. Open the pack creator
In Signal Desktop, open the menu File → Create/Upload Sticker Pack.
3. Add the stickers and emoji
Drag the PNG files in, give each sticker an emoji, then set the pack title and author.
4. Upload and share
Confirm the upload. Signal gives you a link; send it to friends or post it, and anyone with Signal can install the pack.
Way 2: a whole pack, animation included
The free open-source converter sticker-convert takes a Telegram link and produces a ready Signal pack: it converts video and TGS stickers to APNG and fits them into the size limit.
1. Copy the pack link
Find the pack in the fstik.app catalog or in Telegram and copy its link, like https://t.me/addstickers/pack_name.
2. Convert
In sticker-convert, set the input to Telegram (it needs a bot token from @BotFather) and the output to Signal.
3. Upload
Upload the converted files through Signal Desktop as in Way 1. sticker-convert can also upload to Signal itself, but that needs your Signal account credentials, which is an option for experienced users.
Questions
Can anyone install my Signal pack?
Anyone who has the link. Signal packs are encrypted, and the link carries the key, so a pack you never share stays invisible.
Will animated TGS stickers work?
After conversion, yes. Signal doesn't read Telegram's TGS format directly, but sticker-convert renders it to APNG.
Can I move my own pack?
Of course. If you made it with @fStikBot, it's your work: publish it on Signal and share the link with your audience. For other people's packs, keep them for personal use and don't publish them as your own.
