Image to sticker maker
Turn any photo or drawing into a sticker on your phone: cut out the background, add the white sticker border and a caption, then save it as a 512 × 512 sticker. Free, and your photo never leaves your device.
How to make a sticker from a photo
- Choose a photo. On a phone you can take a new picture or pick one from your gallery. Photos with the subject in front of a plain wall or sky give the cleanest cut-out.
- Remove the background.Tap “Remove background”, then raise or lower the strength until only the subject is left. Switch on “Tap to erase” to clear any patch it missed.
- Frame it. Drag the picture to move it and pinch to zoom. Pick a square, rounded or circle shape and set the thickness of the white outline.
- Add a caption if you like, at the top or bottom, in one of five colours.
- Save or share. Download the WebP sticker, or use Share to send it straight to a chat app.
Sticker maker questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The sticker maker runs entirely in your browser: the photo is read, edited and saved on your own device and is never sent to Animegirl4u or anyone else. Closing the page discards it.
What size and format is the sticker?
It is saved as a 512 × 512 pixel WebP image with a transparent background, kept under 100 KB where possible. That is the size messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Telegram use for stickers. If your browser cannot save WebP, you get a PNG instead, and there is also a PNG button.
How does the background removal work?
"Remove background" clears every area connected to the edges of the photo that has a similar colour, so it works best when the subject is on a plain, even background. Use the strength slider to remove more or less, "Tap to erase" to clear any leftover patch, and Undo or Restore if it removes too much.
What is the Anime AI cut-out and when should I use it?
It is an optional AI model, trained on anime art, that finds the character and removes the rest of the picture, including hair and accessories. Use it for an anime character on a busy or coloured background. It is a one-time download of about 168 MB plus an 11 to 22 MB engine (use Wi-Fi), then saved in your browser. It takes a few seconds on newer phones and computers with WebGPU and 1 to 3 minutes otherwise, and very old phones may run out of memory. It runs on your device, so the image is never uploaded. It is not meant for full scenery or photos of real people.
How do I add the sticker to WhatsApp or Telegram?
Save the sticker, then add it the way your app supports: Telegram's @Stickers bot accepts 512 × 512 images, and WhatsApp lets you create a sticker from a saved image in its sticker panel on supported devices. On a phone the Share button sends the sticker straight to an app.
Can I turn a sticker from this site into a WhatsApp sticker?
Yes. Open any sticker on Animegirl4u and tap "Make WhatsApp sticker": it opens here already loaded and cut out. You can also download a sticker first and drop or pick the file here. Animated GIFs become a still sticker from their first frame.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many stickers you make.
