How to make a WhatsApp sticker
- 1
Choose an image
Drop a JPG, PNG, or GIF into the upload area and check the preview.
- 2
Create the WebP
The tool trims transparent edges, preserves the aspect ratio, and optimizes the file.
- 3
Download and use it
Save the finished WebP, then share it or add it through a WhatsApp sticker-pack app.
Transparent PNG padding can be trimmed automatically. Removing a solid or photographic background is not applied automatically because an inaccurate cutout can damage faces, hair, and fine details.
Sharing stickers with WhatsApp
On devices that support sharing local files, Share on WhatsApp sends the generated WebP to the device share menu. Choose WhatsApp to share the actual file. If the browser cannot share files, the button downloads the WebP and then opens WhatsApp so you can attach it.
Installing artwork into the WhatsApp sticker tray requires a sticker pack delivered by a native Android or iOS app. Browsers cannot call WhatsApp's private sticker-pack intent or attach a local browser file through a wa.me link.
