How to Make Your Own Stickers (Free)

Making your own stickers is the fun part — your face, your pet, your inside jokes, all ready to drop into a chat. With the free Sticker Maker app you can build a whole custom pack in a few minutes. Here's how.

How to make your own stickers

  1. Open Sticker Maker and tap "Create".
  2. Pick a photo — the background is removed automatically, on your device.
  3. Add your own text (Arabic or English), emoji, borders, and effects.
  4. Save it into a pack. Repeat for as many stickers as you want — a pack holds up to 30.

That's it. No design skills, no account, and no watermark.
