Before publishing an SVG-based Telegram sticker, review the source, the motion and the downloaded file as separate checkpoints. This checklist is designed for the final pass after you have already prepared the artwork. Keep the source revision and exported TGS together so every accepted result can be reproduced.
Check the exact source SVG
Confirm that you selected the intended revision and that it contains real vector shapes. Outline final text, replace raster inserts and inspect any effect that depends on filters or masks. Open the exported SVG independently of the design editor to catch mistakes introduced during export.
A complete logo master and a simplified sticker copy may share a similar filename. Compare a visible distinguishing detail before starting. This is particularly useful when the old and new revisions differ only in a border, a letter or a small transparent opening.
- Correct SVG revision and artboard.
- Text represented as paths where needed.
- No essential embedded raster content.
- Intentional background and transparent holes.
Check the account and upload workflow
The converter requires Telegram login. Selecting an SVG sends a diagnostic copy to the service, including before login. Conversion and TGS download are free; some advanced animation and connected Telegram tools require Pro. Use these facts when preparing customer or team handoffs.
After signing in, confirm that the expected artwork opens in the editor. If login was needed after file selection, inspect the resumed file rather than assuming a previous browser tab contains the same revision. Keep your editable original outside the converter for subsequent changes.
Review the whole animation
Watch complete loops and inspect the strongest pose, not only the resting composition. Look for clipped corners, overlapping lettering, disappearing accents and a visible reset at the seam. If the artwork is meant to remain still, confirm that no unintended motion is active.
Compare the apparent size with neighboring stickers in the planned pack. Matching canvas dimensions alone does not create matching visual weight. A small circular icon and a wide wordmark may need different source compositions to feel balanced together.
- Motion communicates one clear idea.
- Every object stays inside the canvas.
- Lettering and important gaps remain readable.
- The loop seam looks intentional.
Check the exported TGS requirements
Telegram’s published TGS animation requirements specify a 512 × 512 canvas, 60 FPS, a duration no longer than three seconds and a final file no larger than 64 KB. The animation must loop, and objects must remain inside its canvas. Also review the supported-feature restrictions.
Use the exporter’s validation messages to identify the failing category. For an oversized file, simplify paths or motion. For a missing element, inspect its representation. Do not rename the SVG to .tgs or adjust a header without understanding the corresponding data. Download a fresh export after making a meaningful correction.
Verify the file that reaches Telegram
Use the official @Stickers workflow or the applicable connected pack tools to add the intended export. Confirm that you selected the new TGS rather than an older candidate. Review the actual result in a chat, including transparency and small-size readability.
Record the accepted filename, source revision and any important motion choices. If a later change affects text, shape bounds or a border, repeat the relevant checks instead of treating the earlier approval as permanent. A simple project folder with source, export and review notes is enough to prevent many avoidable revision mistakes.
