Are people sending you stickers with their own photos on WhatsApp and you don't know how they made them? Don't worry at all: today we're going to clear things up with a simple tutorial that explains step by step how to create your own stickers for the platform. Let's get started.
How to create WhatsApp stickers
We already explained in detail how to create stickers using Google , but there are other ways to make your own images to communicate via WhatsApp. As you know, the leading messaging platform allows you to use these "stickers" in addition to emoticons and GIFs. These stickers can come from pre-downloaded packs (created by others) or from your own collection.
If your goal is to create your own stickers to use when chatting with your contacts, you'll first need to download third-party apps to help you create them. There are several apps on Google Play and the Apple App Store designed specifically for creating WhatsApp stickers, so all you have to do is go to the respective store, search for "create WhatsApp stickers," and browse the available options. A helpful tip for choosing the right app is to look at its rating, number of downloads, and reviews—all indicators that will give you an idea of its popularity and ease of use.

Following this same approach , we've selected three very popular Android apps: Wemoji , Sticker Maker for WhatsApp , and Sticker Studio . The procedure is practically the same in all of them, so once you master one, you'll be able to use them all.
- You install the application that interests you on your phone.
- You open the app and choose a photo from your image gallery.
- You load it in the app interface and with your finger you draw the silhouette on the screen you want to crop.
- In general, you will have the possibility to write text, change the size of the image or even put emoticons on it.
- Once you have it ready, you save the image in a “package” or pack to which you will give a name.
- Now all you have to do is send said package to WhatsApp (there is always that option in the app menu).
- Once sent, you just have to enter your WhatsApp normally, open a chat with someone and go to the stickers, where the created packages will appear.
Regarding the apps we've mentioned, each one has its pros and cons. Sticker Studio is extremely basic and simple (you only crop and at most add some text, as you'll see in the video below), but you need a pack with at least three stickers to be able to send them to WhatsApp.
Wemoji offers much more comprehensive customization options and its cropping is more precise, allowing you to send packs with just one sticker, but it's only available in English. Sticker Maker , on the other hand, has the most customization features , but you can't crop to outlines; photos will be cropped in a square or round window, and it also displays the most advertising.
Ultimately, it will come down to trying these three options we've mentioned, or continuing to search for the one you like best and feel most comfortable using to create your stickers. What's clear is that the resources are plentiful, easy to use, and it won't take you long to have your own sticker pack with your face (or whatever you want) to use while chatting on WhatsApp. It's all yours.
