What Turns a Cut-Out Into a Sticker

A sticker is a cut-out with two things sorted: a fully transparent background, and the right size and format for where it will live.

The cut-out is the foundation

  • The subject is isolated from its background
  • The background becomes fully transparent (alpha)
  • Exported as PNG, which supports transparency
  • Edges stay clean so the sticker reads as one shape
  • Sized to the platform it will be used on

Removing the background is the part that turns a rectangular photo into something that looks like a real sticker. Start from a clean cut-out with our background remover and the sticker is most of the way done.

How to Make a Sticker

Make a sticker in 3 simple steps. No Photoshop, no design skills.

1

Upload Your Photo

Upload any image (JPG, PNG, WebP) — a person, pet, product, or a favorite reaction shot. Works with any background.

2

AI Cuts Out the Subject

Our AI detects the subject and removes the background, leaving clean transparent edges so it reads as a sticker.

3

Download Transparent PNG

Download your sticker as a transparent PNG. Resize it for WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, or send it to print.

Sticker Size and Format by Platform

Each app expects a specific size and file type. Cut out your image here, then resize the transparent PNG to match the target below.

PlatformSizeFormatNotes
WhatsApp512 × 512 pxPNG (transparent)Static stickers must be small in file size; a transparent PNG cut-out keeps it light.
Telegram512 × 512 pxPNG (transparent)At least one side must be exactly 512 px; the other can be equal or smaller.
Discord (sticker)320 × 320 pxPNG or APNGServer stickers; keep the file within Discord’s upload size limit.
Discord (custom emoji)128 × 128 pxPNG (transparent)Emoji are shrunk in chat, so a bold, simple cut-out reads best.
Print / die-cut300 DPI at final sizePNG (transparent)Leave a little padding around the subject so the cut line has room.

Platform requirements can change over time; check the app’s current sticker guidelines before publishing a large set.

What to Use Your Stickers For

A transparent cut-out works as a sticker anywhere an image can go.

Personal WhatsApp and Telegram stickers from your own photos.

Discord & Slack

Custom server stickers and emoji that read clearly at small sizes.

Print & Die-Cut

Laptop, water-bottle, and packaging stickers with a clean cut line.

Shop & Packaging

Product cut-outs for labels, thank-you cards, and unboxing inserts.

Tips for Stickers That Read Well

  • Pick a photo where the subject is clearly separated from the background
  • A single, bold subject reads better than a busy scene
  • Good, even lighting gives the AI cleaner edges to cut
  • Leave a little space around the subject before cropping
  • Downscale to the exact platform size after cutting out
  • Keep PNG transparency — never flatten onto a white background

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a sticker from a photo?
Upload your photo, let the AI cut out the subject and remove the background, then download the result as a transparent PNG. Resize that PNG to the size your app expects — for example 512 × 512 px for WhatsApp or Telegram — and it is ready to use.
What file format is a sticker?
Stickers use PNG, because PNG supports transparency. That is what lets the cut-out sit on any chat background without a white box around it. Some platforms also accept animated formats (like APNG on Discord), but a still sticker is a transparent PNG.
Is the sticker maker free?
You can cut out and download a sticker for free with our trial. For a larger set or regular use, our affordable plans give you more credits.
Do I need design skills or Photoshop?
No. The AI handles the hard part — separating the subject from the background — so you only upload and download. There is nothing to install and no manual masking.
What size should my sticker be?
It depends on the platform. WhatsApp and Telegram use 512 × 512 px, Discord stickers are around 320 × 320 px, and custom emoji are about 128 × 128 px. Cut out at full quality first, then downscale a copy to the target size.
Can I make a sticker of a person or pet?
Yes. The AI works with people, pets, products, and objects. A clear photo with the subject well separated from the background gives the cleanest sticker edges.
