Where can I get free stickers?
As mentioned above, there is a sticker store where you can get some sets for free. But what if you want more? Essentially, a sticker is just a picture. There are sites with sets of free sticker pictures (usually with some character). If you simply copy the address of the desired picture and paste it into a VKontakte message, then this picture will be inserted there. After this, you can simply delete the address so that only one sticker picture remains. All that remains is to send it to your interlocutor.

VKontakte stickers have been around for quite some time. The number of different sticker sets is growing every day. Many users strive to buy themselves the most interesting and fun sets. And sometimes, out of the kindness of their hearts, they give sets of stickers to their friends. But how can you find out whether the user bought such a set of stickers or not? Let's figure it out.
What sets does my friend have?
It’s very easy to find out which sets of stickers your friend has already purchased and which ones he hasn’t.
To do this you need to do the following:
- open a dialogue with the user you are interested in;
- hover your cursor over the “Attach” button and select “Gift” from the list that appears;
- at the very bottom of the window that opens, find the “Sticker sets” column and click “Show all sets”;
- you will see a list of all sticker sets currently available on the VKontakte social network;
- Scroll the list of sticker sets to the very end and you will see which sticker sets this user already has (all sticker sets the user has will be discolored).
- ready!
If you were going to give your friend an interesting set of stickers and found out that he doesn’t have such a set yet, feel free to give it if you haven’t changed your mind!
Who gave the set to my friend?
As with gifts, you can find out which sets of stickers were given to a given user and, moreover, who was so kind. This trick works if the user has a block with gifts displayed on the page, that is, in other words, if he has not hidden the gifts with his privacy settings.
How to give a set to a friend?
If you want to give a set of stickers to a user who is not on your friends list, you will need to open a dialogue with him using the vk link.
com/im?sel=ID, where instead of ID you need to substitute the page ID of this user.
Even if you and the user are not friends and their private messages are closed, you can still open the dialogue window using the link above. Then proceed according to your instructions.
Restoring purchases in the program
Some in-app purchases, such as currency or game tips, are consumed as you use them. Only non-consumable materials can be restored. Learn about the different types of purchases in the program.
To restore a purchased non-consumable item, open the program in which you made the purchase and select the restore option. It may be available in one of the following locations:
- Main menu of the program.
- Menu of settings or program parameters.
- Shop in the program.
If you have been charged for the purchased item, but recovery is still not available, contact the program developer for support. You can also report a problem with a purchase in the program.
Paid stickers
After the success of the first free stickers, VKontakte added paid stickers. You can buy them all in the same store at a price of 63 rubles per set. More recently, animated stickers have also appeared. For one set you will have to pay 133 rubles.
How to get any paid sticker pack for free
VKontakte, together with MasterCard, has launched a special promotion for owners of MasterCard and Maestro plastic cards. The point is that when receiving money using the online payment service VK Pay, the VK user, in addition to the money transfer itself, receives any paid set of stickers as a gift.
You can receive such a gift only once per calendar month.
If you take into account that there is no transfer fee, you can agree with a friend and send each other 100 rubles. As a result, everyone will be left with their own money and a set of stickers. 100 rubles is the minimum amount for transfer. Let's figure out what each participant should do.
The sender must enter a conversation with his friend, click on the paperclip icon and select “Money” from the list. Specify the transfer amount and write a comment if desired. Click the “Send Money” button.
Enter your plastic card details and send the transfer.
The recipient will receive a message in personal correspondence that a money transfer has been sent to him. Click on the “Get money” button, and in the next window, enter the details of your MasterCard plastic card.
Some time after receiving the transfer, the MasterCard chatbot will write to you. The message will contain a link to the sticker store. Follow it and choose a suitable gift.
VK states that the promotion lasts until November 30, 2021. But it has already been extended twice: first until May 31, then until November 30. There may be a few more extensions. You can find out whether the promotion is currently valid by clicking on the “Details about the conditions” link in the window for sending a transfer.
Earn votes to buy stickers
For all VKontakte users who used a non-Russian phone number when registering, there is a special way to get a selection of stickers without spending money.
The fact is that sticker packs for rubles are sold only to residents of the Russian Federation. For users from the CIS and the rest of the world, an internal currency has been introduced - votes. They can be purchased using your phone, bank card or electronic money, or you can receive them for completing a task.
For completing one task you can get from 3 to 200 votes. By the way, one sticker pack is worth 9 votes. Tasks can be found in your personal profile settings.
Go to the settings menu and go to the “Payments and Transfers” tab. There, click on the “Top up balance” button.
In the balance replenishment window, select “Special offers”, and then take on one of the tasks. Usually you need to start a game and go through it to a certain level.
After you get the required number of votes, go to the sticker store and buy the set you like.
How to download paid stickers for free
There is a way to use any paid sticker without purchasing it or completing any fancy tasks. True, these will no longer be stickers, but just pictures, but they convey the same emotions. The only difference is that if your interlocutor clicks on the label, he will be taken to the sticker store, but when he clicks on the picture with the image of the sticker, nothing will happen.
Go to the store and select a sticker from any set. Right-click on it and select “Save Image As...” and save the sticker to your computer.
To send a sticker, upload the downloaded image as a document or simply drag and drop it into the dialog. It is important to add the label as a document, not a photo. If you upload it as a photo, a black or white background will appear around the picture. The same background will appear if you do not first download the sticker to your computer, but copy it from the store directly into the dialogue.
You won't be able to download stickers through the mobile app this way. But you can add all the necessary stickers to your documents and then use them in a mobile application or on another computer.
You can also download all stickers from the website vkclub.su. There are already 305 sticker packs there and the collection is constantly growing. Sets can be sorted by popularity, newness or alphabet, and you can also view each sticker in an enlarged form before downloading.
The main advantage of the site is that you can find rare sets of promotional stickers on it, the distribution of which as part of official promotions has long ended. These include Geek sets from the Honor brand, Rabbit Mi from Xiaomi, Captains, Anfisa, KFS, Garnier and Coca-Cola. You can also find the recently popular Deadpool set there.
Phone app
Good news for Android smartphone owners. There is an application in the Google Play store with the unambiguous name “Sticker Sets for VKontakte”.
Install it on your phone and log in using your VK login. Now you have more than 2,500 sets of labels at your disposal. But you can send them exclusively through this application. The interface is very similar to the official VKontakte application, so there should be no difficulties.
Chrome Extension
There are several extensions for Chromium-based browsers (Opera, Google Chrome, Yandex.Browser and others). They work on the same principle as the mobile app - they save images of stickers and allow you to send them like graffiti.
The most popular extension is EmojiPlus. The developers promise that after adding their product to the browser, some new stickers will appear in the standard sticker sending window, and the rest can be added for free from the store.
I have repeatedly tried to get extensions to do their job. Used different browsers and social network accounts. Unfortunately, nothing worked out for me.
Each of the presented extensions has quite a lot of positive reviews and a high rating in the Chrome online store. It is possible that my case is just temporary glitches and after a while the developers will restore the stable operation of their programs.
One way or another, I left a link to the extension, so you can check its functionality yourself. Write in the comments if you were able to send stickers using extensions.
Personal sales
How to hide friends on VKontakte?
Within the framework of the social network VKontakte, a fairly large number of store pages have been opened that sell goods “from themselves”.
In this case, you can only rely on yourself and your “guts.” The fact is that such sellers can be ordinary people who are engaged in hand made, or simply sell things that did not suit them. It could also be dropshipping, which is actively gaining popularity, in which the seller works for himself, without having an official website or a full-fledged online store. This can be found out in personal correspondence with the seller.
On the other hand, behind such pages there may be real scammers hiding who are scamming people out of big money. The page may contain a scan of your passport and the details will completely coincide with the page on VK, but after payment you may not receive the goods. If this seller is fake, works with someone else’s passport, and even from another state, the maximum that can be done is to ban this account through the administration. But most likely it will appear again, with different details. If you have any suspicions about the seller, ask for a selfie with your passport in the background. An honest seller will not refuse, otherwise you should think carefully.
Such moments can be traced by studying the seller’s page in detail, viewing photographs, reviews from other buyers, and if you wish, you can even write to those people who made a purchase through this page (recommended). Thanks to this approach, by spending just a few minutes of your time, you can verify the accuracy of the information provided by the seller.
Spend money safely on VKontakte
When people are passionate about online shopping, they often encounter scams while purchasing certain products. Typically, such fraud with money is carried out by fly-by-night shops, in other words, by scammers who trade on the World Wide Web. However, the developers of the VKontakte social network took care of your safety. They removed the possibility of instant purchase and now anyone who wants to purchase something seen on VKontakte needs to follow the link to the seller’s website/online store.
This function allows the buyer to get acquainted with the description of the product, its characteristics, look at the seller’s website and make sure of its reliability and positive reputation on the Internet.
By the way, when you follow a link to another site, VKontakte will notify you that you are leaving the social network; by the same action, VKontakte disclaims responsibility for your further actions/purchases.
This notification provided by VKontakte should not scare you, because you have the right to make your own choice.
