Making stickers on Android is quick and free. While Android's keyboard (Gboard) can suggest emoji and a few stickers, it can't build a WhatsApp sticker pack from your own photos. For that — and for adding text, building a set, and sharing it — you'll want the free Sticker Maker app. Here's how.
How to make a sticker on Android
- Install Sticker Maker from Google Play and tap "Create".
- Pick a photo from your gallery — the app removes the background automatically, right on your phone.
- Clean up the edges if needed by pinching to zoom and erasing by hand.
- Add Arabic or English text, emoji, and effects.
- Save it into a pack — a WhatsApp pack holds up to 30 stickers.

How to add stickers to WhatsApp on Android
- Open your pack and tap "Add to WhatsApp".
- Confirm when WhatsApp asks to add it.
- Open any chat → tap the sticker icon → your pack is ready to send.
Free, with no watermark
Sticker Maker is free on Google Play, needs no sign-up, and never stamps a watermark on your stickers. Everything you export is clean and full-resolution.
Don't feel like designing? Use ready-made packs
There are hundreds of free, ready-to-send packs — open one and add it to WhatsApp in a tap:
Tips
- Use clear, well-lit photos for the cleanest auto-cutout.
- Keep text short — one or two words read best at sticker size.
- Make a themed pack so the whole set feels connected.
That's it — from photo to WhatsApp sticker on Android in about a minute, completely free.
