Learn Step-By-Step How to Create WhatsApp Stickers

Do you know how to create WhatsApp Stickers? Before WhatsApp even existed, at the beginning of the rise of online chats, emojis became a success as a way to express yourself beyond words. 

They have evolved a lot since then, and WhatsApp stickers offer the possibility to go far and allow you to personalize even more your messages. Not only for personal uses, but also for business purposes. 

For instance, you can create WhatsApp stickers with your brand's logo, which is a tool to promote brand awareness and engage with your customers. Or, you can also make stickers of your and your friends' pictures or your favorite memes just to have fun. 

Whether using an Android or iOS smartphone, or desktop computer, it's very simple to make WhatsApp stickers. Check out this article to learn more about it. 

How to Create WhatsApp Stickers on iOS or Android

1. Download a third-party app to make WhatsApp stickers

WhatsApp for iOS or Android still doesn't have the feature that enables you to make stickers within the app. You will need to download a third-party app for that, and there are several of them. Some of the most popular ones are:

Sticker.ly

Sticker Maker

Sticker Studio

In this guide, we will use Sticker.ly to explain how to make your stickers. But, usually, those types of apps have a very similar sticker creation process and are user-friendly. 

2. Click on the "+" button.

3. Choose between creating an animated or a regular sticker.

4. Allow access to your photos.

5. Select the photo you want to use. 

In the camera roll, choose the image that you wish to use to make the sticker. It can be a picture, or the logo of a brand, for instance.

6. Choose how you want to cut out the selected image.

Auto: it cuts out the image automatically, then you can add text, emojis, a background, and adjust the colors of the image. 

Manual: You select manually the part of the image you wish to use to make a WhatsApp sticker.

Crop: You can select the area of the image by using a square. 

7. Click next, then save.

Once you have adjusted the sticker image as you prefer, select the button "next", and save the image.

Your sticker is ready to be used, just click on "add to WhatsApp", and that's it.

2. Select the "Create" button.

3. Choose the image, and click on "send".
