How to Make a WhatsApp Sticker

  1. 1

    Upload any photo — JPG, PNG, or WebP. Your image never leaves your device.

  2. 2

    Switch to Draw mode and trace around the part of the photo you want to keep. The area outside your selection is dimmed so you can see exactly what will be included.

  3. 3

    Use Move mode to reposition or zoom the image. Rotate and flip controls help you frame the subject perfectly.

  4. 4

    Click Continue to move to the text step. Add captions, choose fonts, colours, and outline styles.

  5. 5

    Click Add to collection to save the sticker — then keep making more from the same image or upload a new one.

  6. 6

    When you're done, open your collection and download each sticker as WebP. Import into WhatsApp via Sticker Maker (Android) or WASticker (iOS).

Build a WhatsApp Sticker Pack From Any Photo

WhatsApp's sticker format is strict: exactly 512 × 512 pixels, WebP encoding, under 100 KB per sticker, with optional transparency. The canvas in this tool normalises every export to that spec automatically, so you draw freely and every download is sized to WhatsApp's 512 × 512 spec.
Subject isolation is freehand. Switch to Draw mode and trace the part of the photo you want to keep — the area outside the outline becomes transparent on export, so only the subject shows up on the chat background. If a clean cutout isn't important, the Use full image shortcut skips clipping entirely.
Text is layered, not baked. Each caption is its own draggable layer with its own font, colour, outline, and rotation. The outline stroke matters: WhatsApp themes vary from pitch-black to bright pink chat backgrounds, and a thin stroke around the caption keeps it legible everywhere.
Stickers stay private. The full pipeline — image decode, mask, redraw, export — runs on a local HTML5 Canvas in your browser. There is no upload step, which matters because photos of children, pets, group chats, or anything personal should not be round-tripping through a third-party server just to become a sticker.

Common Use Cases

01

Personal sticker packs from group-chat moments

Turn that one ridiculous frame of a friend into the sticker the group will use forever.

02

Brand and business chat stickers

Teams running customer support on WhatsApp can ship branded reaction stickers that look polished instead of generic.

03

Wedding and event packs

Couples and organisers can hand guests a stickered pack tied to a hashtag — instant in-jokes for the group.

04

Pet packs

Your dog at every angle, captioned with their catchphrases. Pets are by far the most popular sticker subject for a reason.
