Where to Access WhatsApp Stickers

These are the default stickers. Let us see how to use them. We also will explain later on how you can create your own customized WhatsApp Stickers.

Initially, a single sticker-pack comes pre-installed when you update WhatsApp.

You may also download more stickers from the store that you can use by clicking on the “+” sign on the right side stickers list.

Different ways to Create WhatsApp Stickers

Even though there many third-party stickers packs available, it is always more fun to design your own stickers using personal photographs or other visuals.

There are a number of apps available on the PlayStore that help you to create your own Sticker for WhatsApp. Here, we have picked up some of the best ones that serve the same purpose.

There are three different methods to create your own customized stickers for WhatsApp.

The First Method: Customize and Create WhatsApp Stickers

This method involves a number of steps. Just follow the step-by-step guide.

  • Make sure your WhatsApp is updated, and you have a stable internet connection.
  • Get some good images that you want to make stickers from. Each pic should have some different expression so that your stickers do not look all the same.
  • We are going to convert those pics into PNG format since WhatsApp supports only PNG file format for stickers. We need to clear the background of these images with the help of an app called Background Eraser App.
  • Go to PlayStore and download Background Eraser app.
  • Now, in the Background Eraser app, open the image that you want to make a sticker from, and clear the background.
  • Save it in PNG format.
  • Make sure you have created at least three images, as WhatsApp does not allow a Sticker pack that has less than three images.

Now, you have the images ready for the Sticker Pack, follow the steps below:

  • Download an app called Personal Stickers for WhatsApp.
  • Open the app, and it will automatically detect all the stickers that you have created.
  • To create a WhatsApp Sticker, simply Now Click on the Add button.

The Second Method: To create Customized WhatsApp Stickers

Another way to make your own Sticker pack for WhatsApp is to use “Sticker Maker” app by Viko & Co.

  • Go to PlayStore and download and install the app, Sticker Maker, on your phone.
  • Now, click on “Create a new stickerpack”.

  • Click on the name of the sticker pack (in our case, it is TechNorms) you just created, and you will see an empty tray with no sticker added. Click on the tray to add stickers.

Note: Make sure you have added at least three images since WhatsApp does not allow a sticker pack with less than three images.

  • You can either select an image file from your storage or click a new one. As an example, we will take an image from our mobile storage.
  • Now move your finger and select the part of the image that you want in the sticker form. Now the problem is, you have to do it in one attempt.

That means once you have started moving your finger on the image, you cannot stop in between. If you do take a break, you will have to start cropping the image all over again.

  • Once you are done, click on “Yes, save sticker” or “No, try again” if you are not satisfied with the output.

  • You can take an instant selfie or choose an image from your image file folder.
  • Edit the image with the customization you want within the app.
  • Once you are done with your image, click on OK.

You will see that your image has been merged with various funny stickers. Select the one you like. Now you can either download that sticker or share via WhatsApp, Gmail, or other listed apps.

Conclusion

All the three methods set up a different mood of how you want your stickers to look. If you want perfect customization, the first method is the one that you will enjoy the most.

The second method is for those who prefer to save themselves from downloading multiple apps and just do it in a simple way.

When it comes to adding fun to your images, the third one is the quickest. So make your choice and create WhatsApp Stickers to have fun!
