What a WhatsApp sticker maker does

WhatsApp accepts stickers only in one shape and format. Each sticker is a 512 by 512 pixel WebP image with a transparent background, and it must be under 100 KB. This tool takes one image and makes exactly that, scaling it to fit with a little padding around the edges and keeping the background clear. It shows the file size so you know it fits before you use it, and a quality slider helps you get under the limit. You end up with a ready-to-use WebP, with no image editor needed.

  • ·Fits the size limit. A quality slider and live size check keep it under 100 KB.
  • ·Adjustable padding. Add a clean margin so the art is not squashed to the edge.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Add your image

    Drag your artwork onto the box or click to pick a file. A PNG with a transparent background works best, since WhatsApp stickers are meant to be see-through. It stays in your browser and is never uploaded.

  2. 2

    Set the padding, zoom, and position

    Add a little space around the edges so your sticker is not squashed against the border. If your image is not square, use the zoom and position sliders to fill the frame instead of leaving empty space on the sides.

  3. 3

    Check the size

    The tool makes a 512 by 512 WebP and shows the file size against WhatsApp's 100 KB limit. If it is too big, lower the quality slider until it fits.

  4. 4

    Download the WebP

    Download the WebP file, then add it to a sticker pack app on your phone to use it in WhatsApp chats.

Who makes WhatsApp stickers

Anyone making stickers for WhatsApp chats can use this. These are the people who use it most:

  • ·Anyone making a sticker pack. Turn your own photos, drawings, or memes into stickers at the exact size and format WhatsApp needs, ready to add to a pack.
  • ·Artists and designers. You made the art. Export it to a 512 pixel WebP under the size limit in one step, without fiddling with export settings.
  • ·Small businesses and brands. Make branded stickers of your logo or mascot so customers can share them in chats, keeping your look consistent.
  • ·Meme and group chat fans. Cut a favorite image down to a clean sticker so it shows up crisp in chat instead of as a boxed-in photo.

Frequently asked questions

What size and format is a WhatsApp sticker?
A WhatsApp sticker is a 512 by 512 pixel WebP image with a transparent background, and each sticker must be under 100 KB. This tool makes exactly that for you and shows the file size so you know it fits.
How do I make a WhatsApp sticker from a photo?
Add your image, adjust the padding so it has a little breathing room, and the tool resizes it to a 512 pixel WebP. Check the file size, lower the quality if needed, then download the WebP. For a clean cut-out look, start from a PNG that already has the background removed.
My image is not square. Why is there empty space on the sides?
By default the tool fits your whole image inside the 512 pixel square, so a non-square image leaves even transparent space on two sides. To fill the frame instead, use the zoom slider to scale the image up and the position sliders to slide it into place. Zooming in crops the parts that fall outside the square.
Why does my sticker need a transparent background?
WhatsApp stickers are designed to sit on top of the chat with no box around them, so a transparent background looks best. Start from a PNG with a see-through background. If you pick a background color in the tool, that color is filled in and the sticker will not be see-through.
Why is my sticker over the 100 KB limit?
Detailed images and photos make larger files. WhatsApp caps each sticker at 100 KB. If the tool warns you it is too big, lower the quality slider, or use a simpler image with fewer colors, since flat art and cut-outs compress much smaller than photos.
How do I add the sticker to WhatsApp?
WhatsApp adds stickers through sticker pack apps rather than one at a time. Download the WebP files here, then use a sticker pack maker app on your phone to build a pack and add it to WhatsApp. The files this tool makes are already the right size and format for those apps.
Are my images private?
Yes. The whole thing runs in your browser. Your image is never uploaded to a server or saved anywhere, and once the page has loaded you can even use it offline.
