Create Memojis as stickers in Telegram

With everyone staying at home due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, communication through the internet has certainly increased greatly, either through video, email or text messages. I use text messages a lot and have grown fond of Telegram Messenger app to chat with family and friends. One of my favorite features of Telegram is stickers, and as an iPhone user, I created my own memoji and use it within Telegram, but I thought it would be more fun to make my memoji as stickers! Here's how I did it.

1. Create your memoji with your iPhone. The Apple support site has a great tutorial to create your memoji for this and it's fairly easy to create one using your iPhone or iPad.
2. Download and install the Telegram Messenger app for iOS on your iPhone and also the Desktop app for your computer.
3. On your iPhone or iPad, start a new chat in Telegram either on your saved messages, group chat, channel or a friend and send them a memoji.
4. Open Telegram on your desktop computer and open the chat where you sent your memoji.
5. Right-click on your memoji and choose Save as from the context menu and save it somewhere on your computer. This will be saved as a *.webp file format.
   
   
    
6. Telegram stickers require images to be in a *.png file format so that it can have transparent backgrounds. Therefore we need to convert the memoji *.webp file to a *.png.
7. Go to the Convert WEBP to PNG/APNG website and upload your memoji *.webp file, convert it to a *.png format and save the *.png format by downloading it in to your computer.
   
   
    
8. With your memoji in a *.png format, you can now use your favorite image editor like Photoshop or GIMP.
9. To start creating stickers in Telegram, open Telegram on your desktop computer again and send a message to the Stickerbot! (In your chat, search for Stickers)
   
   
    
10. The Stickerbot is fairly easy to use, just follow the instructions. You will need to create a new sticker pack and then add stickers for it. When adding stickers, you will be able to upload or drag and drop your memojis that you converted to a *.png format!

There you have it, I hope you enjoy and I look forward seeing the awesome stickers you'll create!
