How to Make a Sticker From a Picture With a White Outline (Transparent PNG)

Stickers are popular in chats and designs. The look comes from a thick white border and a soft shadow around the subject.

Quick answer

Choose a picture and select the shape: rounded square, circle, or an outline that follows the picture's transparent edges. Adjust the border thickness, add a shadow and download a transparent PNG.

Shapes

• Rounded square: simple, works for any photo.
• Circle: good for faces and logos.
• Outline follows the subject: the classic die-cut sticker; requires a picture with a transparent background.

Steps

1. Open the tool and add a picture.
2. If you want the die-cut look, first remove the background with the Background Remover.
3. Choose the shape and border thickness.
4. Add a shadow for depth.
5. Download the PNG.

Design tips

• Use bold, simple subjects; small details disappear at sticker size.
• A white border of 8 to 16 px suits most pictures.
• Keep a bit of space around the subject so the border is not cut.
• Test the sticker on dark and light backgrounds.

Using the sticker

• Share in chats and social posts.
• Add to a design or presentation.
• Print on sticker paper at 300 DPI and cut around.
