How to use Sticker Maker
- Choose a photo with one clear subject: a face, a pet, a product, a friend mid-laugh. Or tap the example to see it work.
- Tap "Remove background". The first time, the AI (about 55 MB) downloads once; then the cut-out takes a few seconds.
- The Sticker background is already chosen. Pick a thin or thick white outline, or none, and use Touch up on any edge the AI missed.
- Tap "Save WebP" and add the file with WhatsApp's sticker creator or a sticker-pack app.
Why use Sticker Maker
- WhatsApp's own numbers
- Exactly 512 × 512 pixels, WebP with transparency, under 100 KB, with a 16 px margin: the rules WhatsApp publishes for static stickers.
- White outline
- An 8 px white outline, the stroke WhatsApp's sample stickers use, follows the subject's shape; choose thick (16 px) or none.
- Telegram too
- Telegram takes the same 512 px WebP file, so one sticker works in both apps.
- Private
- The photo is cut out in your browser and never uploaded, and after its first download the AI keeps working if the connection drops.
About this tool
A sticker is a cut-out with a transparent background, and WhatsApp is strict about the file: its guidelines for static stickers ask for a WebP image of exactly 512 × 512 pixels, no larger than 100 KB, with a margin around the artwork. This online sticker maker does all of it for you. The AI finds the subject in your photo, the cut-out is fitted into the square with a 16 px margin, a white outline goes around it, and the file is saved as WebP, stepping down the quality only when that is what it takes to stay under 100 KB. If a very detailed photo still comes out above 100 KB, the page says so, and a thinner outline usually brings it under.
Saving gives you a file; adding it to WhatsApp happens in WhatsApp. Create the sticker from the saved picture with WhatsApp's own sticker creator in a chat's sticker panel, or import it with a sticker-pack app; Telegram's sticker bot takes the same file. The chips under the picture also make a transparent PNG or put the cut-out on white, and Touch up lets you paint back a hand or erase a bit of background the AI kept.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a WhatsApp sticker from a photo?
Choose the photo here, tap "Remove background", keep the Sticker background and tap "Save WebP". Then add the saved picture with WhatsApp's sticker creator or a sticker-pack app.
What size is a WhatsApp sticker?
Exactly 512 × 512 pixels, WebP, and at most 100 KB for a static sticker, according to WhatsApp's published sticker guidelines. This tool saves exactly that.
Does it work as a Telegram sticker maker?
Yes. Telegram stickers are 512 pixels on the longest side, in WebP or PNG, so the same file works there.
Is the sticker maker free?
Yes, with no sign-up and no watermark. It makes the sticker in your browser without an app to install, and the photo stays on your device.
Why is my sticker over 100 KB?
Detailed photos compress less. Choose a thinner outline or a photo with a plainer subject; the page shows the size before you save.
Can I make a sticker from a picture of a logo or drawing?
Yes. Choose "Logo, signature or drawing" for a picture on plain paper: its colour is removed exactly, then the Sticker background makes it 512 × 512.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, as a WhatsApp sticker maker on an iPhone or an Android phone. Pick a photo from your gallery: the AI (about 55 MB the first time) cuts out the subject on your phone, with no app and no upload, and you save the sticker, a WebP under 100 KB, to your phone.
