There is no "Add to WhatsApp" button in Telegram, and WhatsApp can't install a pack from a link. Still, moving stickers over is easy. There are two ways: a single sticker in a minute, or a whole pack through a converter.
Which way to choose
| What you want | Way | Animation |
|---|---|---|
| A few favourite stickers | WhatsApp's built-in "Create sticker" | Static only |
| A whole pack | sticker-convert + Sticker Maker app | Yes, animated too |
Way 1: a single sticker in a minute
1. Get the sticker as PNG
Send /original to @fStikBot, then the sticker you want. The bot replies with a PNG file with a transparent background. Save it to your phone. More details are in the download guide.
2. Open the sticker panel in WhatsApp
Open any chat, tap the sticker icon next to the text field and find the create option. Depending on your phone and WhatsApp version it's a "+" button, a pencil or "Create sticker".
3. Pick the PNG
Choose the saved image. WhatsApp keeps the transparent background, lets you add text or crop, and saves the sticker to your panel after you send it.
Way 2: a whole pack, including animated stickers
WhatsApp accepts ready-made packs only through apps. The free open-source converter sticker-convert turns a Telegram pack into a WhatsApp pack, and the Sticker Maker app adds it to WhatsApp.
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 it in sticker-convert
Install sticker-convert on your computer (Windows, macOS, Linux). Set the input to Telegram (it needs a bot token from @BotFather) and the output to WhatsApp. The app resizes the stickers, converts video and TGS stickers to animated WebP and packs everything into a .wastickers file.
3. Move the file to your phone
Send the .wastickers file to yourself in any messenger or copy it over a cable.
4. Import it to WhatsApp
Install the Sticker Maker app, import the .wastickers file and tap "Add to WhatsApp". The pack appears in your WhatsApp sticker panel.
WhatsApp sticker requirements
sticker-convert takes care of these, but they explain why some packs look different after the move:
| Parameter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Size | Exactly 512×512 pixels |
| Format | WebP |
| Static sticker | Up to 100 KB |
| Animated sticker | Up to 500 KB |
| Stickers per pack | 3 to 30 |
| Pack icon | 96×96 pixels, up to 50 KB |
| Mixing | Static and animated can't share one pack |
Questions
Why can't I add a pack to WhatsApp with a link, like in Telegram?
WhatsApp doesn't have install links for packs from other sources. Ready-made packs can only come in through an app, which is why Way 2 needs Sticker Maker.
Can I do this without a computer?
For single stickers, yes: Way 1 works on a phone. A whole pack needs sticker-convert, which runs on a computer.
Will the person I send the sticker to see it?
Yes. A WhatsApp sticker is sent as a file, and your contact can save it to their own panel.
Can I move my own stickers?
Of course. If you made a pack with @fStikBot, it's your work and you can use it anywhere. For other people's packs, keep them for personal use.
