Your sticker appears here.

Choose a photo to start. The AI model (about 45 MB) downloads once and then works offline.

To use it on WhatsApp, add the file to a sticker app such as Sticker.ly or Personal Stickers (a pack needs at least 3 stickers). Your photo never leaves your device.

About this tool

Make your own WhatsApp stickers from any photo - a selfie, your pet, a friend's reaction. The on-device AI removes the background automatically, then the subject is trimmed, centred and given a white or black outline, the classic sticker look. Add a caption such as 'GOOD MORNING!' at the top or bottom, and download a 512 × 512 WebP under 100 KB - exactly what WhatsApp expects - or a PNG. The photo never leaves your device: the AI runs in your browser and the model downloads once, then works offline.

How to use it

  1. 1 Choose or drop a photo (you can also paste it with Ctrl+V).
  2. 2 Wait a few seconds while the AI removes the background.
  3. 3 Pick an outline and, if you like, write a caption.
  4. 4 Download the WebP and add it to a sticker app such as Sticker.ly or Personal Stickers to use it on WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add the sticker to WhatsApp?

WhatsApp imports stickers through sticker apps. Install one such as Sticker.ly or Personal Stickers, create a pack with at least 3 stickers from the downloaded WebP files and add it to WhatsApp.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The background is removed by an AI model that runs in your browser; the photo and the sticker stay on your device.

Why is the first sticker slower?

The first time, the browser downloads the AI model (about 45 MB). After that it is cached and each sticker takes a few seconds, even offline.

Can I make a sticker without removing the background?

Yes. Untick the AI option and the whole photo becomes the sticker, with the outline and caption you choose.
