+# Telegram Stickers Image Classification Dataset
+
+This dataset consists of a collection of Telegram stickers that have been converted into images for the purpose of image classification. The dataset is intended for use with the Hugging Face library and can be used for training and evaluating image classification models.
+
+## Dataset Details
+
+- Image Size: 512x512 pixels
+- Number of Classes: 1276
+- Total Number of Images: 672,911
+
+The dataset was created by extracting stickers from 23,681 sets of stickers in Telegram. Animated and video stickers were removed, and sets that had only one emoji assigned to all stickers were ignored. Stickers that did not fit the 512x512 size were padded with empty pixels. Furthermore, all stickers were converted to the .png format to ensure consistency.
+
+The class names for the stickers were assigned based on the Unicode emoji given to them by the author. For example, the Unicode U+1F917 represents the 🤗 emoji. Each sticker in the dataset is labeled with the corresponding Unicode code as its class.
+
+The name of each image in the dataset corresponds to the file ID of the sticker in Telegram. This unique identifier can be used to reference the original sticker in the Telegram platform.
