Frequently Asked Questions

Drop a photo of your subject (person, pet, object), our AI removes the background automatically, and the tool draws a thick white outline around the cutout — the classic sticker look. The result is a transparent PNG that you can import into WhatsApp Stickers, Telegram sticker packs, or iMessage. No design skills required.

usage

Yes — our background removal AI is trained on people, pets and product imagery. Faces look great as profile stickers; pets become reaction stickers; products (sneakers, food, toys) become e-commerce decals. The outline thickness and color is adjustable so each subject gets the right finishing touch.

features

Yes. White is the iconic look (matches the printed sticker aesthetic), but you can pick any color via the color picker — black for night-mode chats, neon for gaming, pastel for kids stickers, brand colors for marketing. The outline thickness ranges from 0 (no outline) to 40 pixels.

features

WhatsApp expects 512×512 PNG stickers; Telegram allows up to 512×512 with one dimension exactly 512. Our output is a transparent PNG at the source resolution — resize using our Resize Image tool if you need exact dimensions for a sticker pack uploader.

technical

A neural network trained on millions of foreground/background segmentations predicts the alpha mask in a single pass on our server, then a fast separable-dilation pass on the resulting alpha channel draws the outline — also processed on our server over HTTPS and deleted automatically afterward. That server-side outline pass is quick enough to feel instant, so adjusting thickness or color re-renders in a moment without a fresh AI cutout.

technical

Yes — the Drop Shadow toggle adds a soft offset shadow under the cutout for that die-cut printed feel. The shadow scales with outline thickness, so the result always looks balanced.

tips

Your photo is sent to our servers for both the AI background-removal step and the outline-drawing step, processed over HTTPS, and deleted automatically afterward (within 24 hours). We never share your images with third parties or use them to train models. For maximum privacy use the EXIF viewer first to remove location metadata.

Free with no daily limit during our beta. Stickers download as PNG with no watermark and no Pixoate branding.

pricing

Upload any photo, and the AI removes the background to isolate your subject. Adjust the outline thickness and color for the classic die-cut sticker look, toggle a drop shadow if you want, then download a transparent PNG. The whole flow takes a few seconds with no design tools to learn.

usage

The WhatsApp/Telegram option exports a 512×512 transparent WebP — the exact dimensions and format both apps expect for sticker pack uploads. Full-res PNG instead keeps your photo's original resolution as a transparent PNG, which suits iMessage stickers, printed die-cuts, or reusing the cutout at full size in other designs.

features

No — background removal runs once per uploaded photo and its result is cached, so adjusting the outline thickness slider, outline color, drop shadow toggle or export format only re-runs the fast server-side outline-drawing step, not the expensive AI cutout. That step is quick enough to feel instant, and every image is processed over HTTPS and deleted automatically afterward.

technical

Set the format to WhatsApp/Telegram (512×512 WebP), pick a thickness around 8-15px so the outline reads clearly at small chat sizes, and turn on Drop shadow for a printed die-cut look — white or black outlines contrast best against most chat backgrounds.

How Image to Sticker helps you get it done

Real problems it solves every day — for businesses, creators, and everyday tasks. Find the use case that fits you and start in seconds.

Turn group chat photos into the inside-joke reaction stickers everyone loves. Friends' faces, pets, food shots — anything makes a sticker that's 10x more fun than emoji.

Social Media

Telegram Sticker Packs

Build a custom sticker pack for your community, brand or fandom. Each photo becomes a sticker with consistent outline styling for a cohesive pack look.

Social Media

iMessage Sticker Drops

iOS sticker drops from photos let you peel-and-place reactions onto messages. Convert a great selfie or pet photo into a permanent sticker in your iMessage library.

For Creators

Discord Server Emotes

Discord allows custom emotes and stickers per server. Turn community memes, mascot art and inside-joke screenshots into properly-sized PNG stickers for upload.

Social Media

Pet Influencer Content

Pet account creators turn every cute pose into a stickerised version for fan engagement and merchandise design. Stickers are also great for crowdfunding rewards (printable die-cut stickers).

Events

Wedding & Event Memorabilia

Generate sticker-versions of wedding photos for save-the-date inserts, thank-you cards or guestbook embellishments. Brides love them and they print beautifully on adhesive paper.

For E-commerce

Print-on-Demand Sticker Shop Listings

Turn customer photos or pet portraits into product mockups for an Etsy or Redbubble sticker shop — use the Full-res PNG format so the die-cut vinyl prints sharp at any size.

For Business

Branded Packaging & Thank-You Stickers

Small shops turn a logo or mascot photo into a die-cut sticker for order packaging inserts, picking a brand-color outline so every shipment feels on-brand.

Productivity

Slack & Microsoft Teams Custom Emoji

Coworkers turn a team photo or inside joke into a custom reaction emoji for workplace chat, with the outline thickness kept thin so it still reads clearly at tiny emoji size.

Personal Use

Laptop & Water Bottle Decal Designs

Turn a favorite photo into a decal-style sticker for laptops, water bottles or planners — export Full-res PNG and print it yourself on adhesive vinyl sheets.
