Choose a clean photo, remove the background, refine the silhouette, and save a transparent sticker that stays readable in chat.
Step by step
Pick a photo with separation
Portraits, pets, objects, and hand gestures work best when the subject is sharp and the background has a different color or depth.
Remove the background
Use the available cutout flow, then zoom in. Restore important details and remove leftover halos around hair, fingers, glasses, or clothing.
Build a strong silhouette
Crop close enough that the expression remains clear. Keep important parts away from the edge and leave transparent breathing room around the subject.
Add readable details
Use a contour or short line of text when it improves contrast. Avoid thin type and long sentences that disappear at sticker size.
Save and test
Save to a static pack, inspect the result on light and dark surfaces, then use the appropriate messaging destination from pack detail.
Compatibility and limits
Troubleshooting
A white box remains
A white background is not transparency. Repeat the cutout and verify the checkerboard or transparent preview.
Hair or fingers disappear
Choose a higher-contrast source and keep a little more of the edge during cleanup.
Text cannot be read
Shorten it, increase contrast, and keep it away from the outer edge.
