What is Telegram Pixel and how does it work
Telegram Pixel is an analytics tool that allows advertisers to track user behavior after interacting with ads on Telegram. It was officially introduced in 2025 as part of Telegram Ads — the platform for launching advertising campaigns within the messenger. The pixel is a small code snippet that is placed on an external website. Its main function is to record anonymous user actions — from visiting a page to making a purchase or submitting a form.
Thanks to Telegram Pixel, marketers can gain a clear understanding of ad performance. They see how many users clicked a link, what actions they took on the website, and which ads led to conversions. The tool does not collect personal data, ensuring user anonymity and privacy.
With this tracking tool, you can:
- Track key actions taken on a website after an ad click
- Collect data to measure campaign performance
- Launch remarketing — show ads to users who already interacted with your website
- Set up automatic campaign optimization based on specific conversion events. These might include purchases, registrations, or form submissions.
This makes Telegram Pixel a powerful tool for making advertising more transparent, measurable, and performance-driven.
Where Telegram Pixel is used
The analytics tag is primarily used within Telegram Ads — Telegram’s native advertising platform. However, it also fits a wide range of advanced use cases: e-commerce tracking, subscription funnels, lead generation, and educational platforms. It works well in any scenario where post-click user actions are important.
How to set up Telegram Pixel
To start using the tracking code, follow these steps:
- Go to your Telegram Ads account.
- Create a new pixel, assign it a name, and copy the generated code.
- Paste the code into your website (usually in the <head> section or just before the closing </body> tag).
- Optionally, configure additional events such as button clicks, form submissions, or purchases.

Why it matters
Telegram Pixel marks a significant step toward full web analytics support. It expands what advertisers can measure within the Telegram advertising ecosystem. It provides insights not just into clicks, but into post-click actions as well. This is especially valuable for businesses focused on performance. They don’t just want reach — they want real conversions. Using this measurement tool, marketers and analysts gain better visibility, can reduce acquisition costs (CPA), boost conversions, and scale effective strategies.
