iMessage sticker maker
iOS can lift a subject out of a photo by itself, but it cannot give you a proper white die-cut border, custom outline colours or text. Make the sticker here, save the transparent PNG to Photos, and add it to your iPhone stickers in a few taps.
How to add it to iMessage
- Upload a photo and refine the cut-out. Add a white or coloured outline.
- Optional: press “Add text in the editor” to put a caption on it.
- Download the iMessage size (618 × 618 PNG) or use “Share to an app…” → Save Image.
- In Photos, open the saved image, touch and hold the sticker, then tap Add Sticker. It appears in the sticker drawer in Messages (iOS 17 and later).

Questions people ask
How do I make my own iMessage stickers?
On iOS 17 or later, open a photo in Photos, touch and hold the subject, and tap Add Sticker. For a white outline, text or a different shape, make the sticker on this page first, save the PNG to Photos, then add it the same way.
What size are iMessage stickers?
Apple’s guidelines for sticker pack apps use 300, 408 and 618 pixel squares for small, regular and large stickers. A 618 × 618 transparent PNG looks sharp everywhere.
Do I need a sticker app?
No. Since iOS 17, any image with a transparent background saved in Photos can be added to your stickers.
