An emoji pack is created three ways — a 3D spinning coin, a static image, or a paste of premium emoji from another pack — each with its own command. The same three appear as buttons when you add to a pack you already own.

Commands

Commands

CommandIn the Telegram command menu?What it does
/newpackYesOpens the coin wizard. If premium emoji are pasted in the same message, opens Existing Emoji instead.
/emojipackNoSame as /newpack.
/staticemojiNoOpens the From Image (static) wizard.
/mypacksYesLists your packs, 10 per page.

The three modes

Each command goes straight into its mode; none asks you to pick one first.

The three modes

ModeFirst prompt
Coin"Let's make a 3D coin emoji. Send an image — upload a PNG, SVG, or AVIF as a file to keep transparency, or paste an image URL."
Static"Make a static emoji pack. Send a name for the pack."
Existing emoji"Gotchu, send a name for the pack"

The chooser appears only when adding to an existing pack: tap Add New Emojis on a pack's card and the bot asks "Add to this pack. A coin flip, an emoji from an image, or existing emojis?" with Coin flip, From Image, Existing Emoji and Back buttons.

Authorization

The commands work in private chats and groups, not channels.

Who may send /newpack, /emojipack, /staticemoji or /mypacks

SettingValue
In a DMThe bot's owner, or a DM-authorized username.
In an authorized groupAny member of that group.
Anyone elseNo reply.

The /start precondition

Telegram needs you to have opened a private chat with the bot before it can make a pack for you. /newpack, /emojipack and /staticemoji check this; /mypacks doesn't.

Shown for 30 seconds when you haven't

Before I can make a pack for you, Telegram needs you to open a private chat with @<bot> and send /start once — then run this again.
