Telegram animated sticker specs

Telegram accepts WebM (VP9) stickers up to 512×512, or APNG up to 512×512. Use the WebM output option in RemoveGifBG, or export as APNG and resize in the Telegram sticker bot.

Slack custom emoji stickers

Slack accepts GIF up to 128KB and 128×128 for animated emoji. Use RemoveGifBG's 128×128 canvas preset and GIF output. Resize the file if needed before uploading.

Can I process pet or character GIFs?

Absolutely. Use the AI method for organic subjects like pets, characters, and people against complex backgrounds. Use Flood fill for cartoons with solid flat backgrounds — it's faster and often crisper.
