      How to turn a photo into a sticker

      1. Add a photo of a person, pet, product or anything else.
      2. Refine the cut-out, set the outline thickness and color, and move or rotate the sticker.
      3. Download a transparent PNG, or save for WhatsApp or Telegram.

      How to add your stickers to WhatsApp and Telegram

      A website can’t put stickers into an app for you. These are the official ways each app offers. Menu names can differ slightly between app versions.

      WhatsApp (Android, iPhone, Web)

      1. Download your sticker and keep it on your phone or computer. If your gallery doesn’t show WebP files, download the “Transparent PNG” version.
      2. Open a chat and tap the sticker button next to the message box.
      3. Tap Create (the sticker maker that is built into WhatsApp) and choose your sticker image.
      4. Adjust it if you like and send it. WhatsApp saves it in your sticker tray so you can use it again.

      Whole packs can only be added to WhatsApp by a separate sticker app from Google Play or the App Store. The pack ZIP here follows WhatsApp’s format (3–30 stickers, 512×512 WebP up to 100 KB, 96×96 tray icon) for people who build one. We don’t recommend any unofficial apps.

      About the Photo to Sticker tool

      The white outline is calculated from the exact shape of the cut-out with a distance transform, so it is evenly thick all the way around, with smooth edges. Choose any color and a thickness from 0 to 20 pixels.

      Brush “Keep” and “Erase” fix any part of the cut-out, with zoom and undo. A faint view of the rest of the photo shows what you can bring back.

      Stickers are 512×512 pixels with a transparent background and a safe margin, the size both WhatsApp and Telegram use.

      Frequently asked questions

      Can I print the sticker?

      Yes. The transparent PNG works with sticker paper and print shops. For larger prints, start from a sharp, well-lit photo.

      Are my photos uploaded to make stickers?

      No. The cut-out, outline, text and file encoding all run in your browser. Your photos never leave your phone or computer.

      Can this website add stickers straight into WhatsApp?

      No website can do that. Use WhatsApp’s built-in sticker maker: open the sticker panel in a chat, tap Create and pick the sticker you downloaded. Whole packs can only be added by a separate sticker app from Google Play or the App Store.

      What size is a WhatsApp sticker?

      Exactly 512×512 pixels, WebP with a transparent background, up to 100 KB. A pack has 3 to 30 stickers and a 96×96 tray icon. This tool checks the real file size after saving and never goes over.

      What size is a Telegram sticker?

      PNG or WebP with one side exactly 512 pixels. A set can hold up to 120 stickers and uses a 100×100 icon. Make the set with Telegram’s official @Stickers bot.

      Can I write Amharic text on my sticker?

      Yes. Add text in Amharic, English or both, with Noto Sans Ethiopic, Menbere or Abyssinica SIL for Amharic and fun fonts for English. Greetings such as Happy Meskel, Congratulations and Thank you are ready to edit.
