Make a sticker from a photo
A person, a pet or anything you tap is cut out, outlined and trimmed on your device, then saved as a PNG and a 512 × 512 sticker. Your photo is not uploaded.
Drop a photo, or click to choose
JPG, PNG or WebP. A person is found by itself; for a pet, a product or anything else, tap it.
How it works
- Choose a photo. It opens on your device, and a person is cut out of the background as soon as they are found. For a pet, a product or anything else, choose Tap to pick and tap it.
- Style the sticker. Pick the outline colour and thickness, add a soft shadow, and type a short caption if you want one. The sticker changes as you go.
- Download. Download PNG saves the sticker at full size with a clear background. Download 512 × 512 saves the square copy chat apps use for stickers.
What goes into the sticker
Outline
A white border that follows the cut-out’s shape, like a die-cut vinyl sticker. Make it black, yellow, pink, blue or any colour, thinner or thicker, or turn it off.
Shadow
A soft shadow under the sticker lifts it off a light chat background. Leave it off for a flat, clean edge.
Caption
A word or two in bold condensed letters under the cut-out, wrapped inside the same outline so the text and the cut-out read as one piece.
Sized for chat stickers
Chat apps that take your own stickers, such as WhatsApp, ask for a square 512 × 512 pixel WebP file under 100 KB, with a clear background and a little space around the picture. The 512 × 512 download is made to that size: the sticker is scaled to fit inside a 16 pixel margin, and the WebP quality is stepped down only as far as it needs to be to come in under 100 KB.
Adding the file to a chat app is done in that app or a sticker-pack app; this page only makes the file. The full-size PNG is the one to keep for anything else: slides, posters, printing, or placing on another photo. Where the browser cannot save WebP itself, as in Safari, the page makes the WebP with an encoder it loads from this site and runs on your device; only if that cannot run either is the 512 × 512 file a PNG, and the page says so.
A person, anything you tap, or an area you box
A person is found by a small model made to tell people from what is behind them, as soon as the photo opens. For anything else (a pet, a product, a plate of food), choose Tap to pick and tap it: a second small model marks the whole of the thing you tapped. Tap something else to pick that instead, or choose Add a part to tap more pieces of it, such as a cup and its saucer. Tapping a part again takes it out.
Area is there for anything a tap cannot pick out: the sticker keeps the whole picture, or the part you drag a box around, as a rectangle or a circle, and the outline goes around that shape.
Once the page has loaded, your browser downloads the models that find the person from this site and the open-source engines that run them from a public CDN, and another model the first time you tap. After that the photo is worked on in your browser: it is never uploaded, and nothing generates or redraws the picture. Fine hair and fur can come out a little soft, and the outline hides most of that.
Want the sticker on top of another photo? In the photo editor, add a picture and choose Make it a sticker. The person is cut out and outlined right there, and you can move, size and turn the sticker like any other picture on the photo.
