Questions people ask
How do I make my own WhatsApp stickers?
Create a transparent 512 × 512 image of the subject, then add it in WhatsApp. On WhatsApp Web and Desktop, open the sticker panel and choose Create to upload an image. On phones, recent WhatsApp versions also have a Create sticker option in the sticker tray, and third-party sticker apps can import packs.
What size is a WhatsApp sticker?
Exactly 512 × 512 pixels, saved as WebP with a transparent background and kept under 100 KB. WhatsApp recommends a 16 pixel margin around the artwork.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The cut-out, outline and WebP encoding all happen in your browser. The file goes straight from this page to your device.
Why did I get a PNG instead of a WebP?
Safari cannot encode WebP from a web page, so on iPhone and Mac Safari the tool saves a 512 × 512 PNG. WhatsApp’s sticker creator accepts PNG images and converts them.
Can I make animated WhatsApp stickers?
Not here. This tool makes still stickers. Animated stickers need animated WebP files under 500 KB.
