How to create a WhatsApp sticker from your own photo?
As you may have noticed, with the Personal Stickers for Whatsapp application you can add all the stickers you want as quickly as possible. But this is not the only one that exists. If you want to create your own stickers we will show you how to do it in two very simple ways.
Using Photoshop
Adobe PS is one of your best allies if you want to create a professional level image for your stickers . What you have to do is take the photo or drawing you want to turn into a sticker and open it in the software. Now you will have to create a new image by clicking on «File»> »New» and set dimensions of approximately 300 × 300 pixels .
Once this is done, you simply have to cut the section of the original image you want to convert into a sticker, and paste it on the new canvas you just created. Adjust the size to fit perfectly and then cut the background to get a transparent image. To do this, you simply have to position yourself at layer 0 that corresponds to the background, use the “Magic wand” tool to select it, and execute the “Ctrl + x” command.
Finally, what you have to do is simply save the image in .webp format so it can be read by the application. In addition, to create a pack you will have to make a minimum of 3 images , so you have to repeat this process at least a couple more times.
Then you know what you should do. Simply put them in a folder and save this in the internal storage of your mobile to add them to the «Wasap» using the Personal Stickers for Whatsapp app. Easy as breathing and fast as losing money in a casino.
Using a mobile application
If you think that using Photoshop is a very cumbersome process, you have the option of using a mobile application to do this job in a simpler way. There are many in the Apple Store and Google Play Store, but we will show you how to do it using the Sticker Studio app . This has a very simple operation.
What you should do once you have it downloaded and installed is to open it. From it you can see all the images in your gallery, and simply select the one you want to convert into a sticker.
Then you will have to outline the section of the image you want to use and you can add text and other elements to make it more original.
Once the creation is finished, simply click on the “green tick” symbol at the bottom of the screen and you’re done. Before you can add everything to WhatsApp, you will have to have at least 3 images , so again you will have to repeat this process in at least two more photos.
This app has the advantage that it allows you to add stickers directly from it without having to use another tool for it. So once you have the finished folder you just have to enter it from Sticker Studio and tap on the WhatsApp logo to add it to it.
