Turn a photo into a sticker in three steps

You can turn a photo into a sticker without any design app: upload one clear picture, pick a style, and Jolliment cuts the subject out and turns your photo into a full set of stickers. Every sticker is a transparent PNG, so the same set works in WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram and Discord — no extra export step. If you have ever wondered how to turn a photo into a sticker while keeping clean edges, that cut-out step is what makes the difference.

Make emoji from photo

If you want to make emoji from a photo instead of drawing them, you do not need a separate emoji app: upload the picture you already have, choose a style, and the same cut-out step turns it into a set of emoji-sized stickers with transparent backgrounds. Each one is small enough to read in a chat bubble and sharp enough to stay clean on a Retina screen. People usually make emoji from a photo of a pet, a friend, or a selfie — the result is a pack that looks hand-made for that one subject, not a generic emoji set.

Create a matching sticker pack with AI

You upload a photo once and get a whole sticker pack: nine stickers of the same face or pet in nine poses and expressions, so the set reads as one set when someone scrolls through it. The photo sticker maker removes the background for you. Pick the look before you generate — the style picker above lists them.

Make pet stickers from a photo of your cat, dog or yourself

Selfies are the obvious use, and pet photos work just as well — a clear photo of a cat, dog, puppy or other animal is all the generator needs, because it only needs one face. You get nine cat stickers, dog stickers or selfie stickers of your own animal rather than a generic cartoon pet. That is the difference between pet stickers you keep using and a set you forget.

Use your stickers on WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram and Discord

The pack is nine square files with a transparent background — the format chat apps expect. The same pack works across apps; only the import step differs.

• WhatsApp — import the .wastickers pack file once through a free sticker app. After that the pack stays in your sticker tray.
• iMessage — save the stickers to Photos, then long-press and choose “Add Sticker”.
• Telegram — send the WebP files directly, or build a pack with its sticker bot.
• Discord — upload the images as custom emoji or stickers; Discord has no sticker import of its own, so this step doubles as your Discord sticker maker. Animated files use APNG there.

Full per-app steps are in how to add stickers in each app.

Still and animated stickers

Motion is the part most tools skip: they are still-image only, not an animated sticker maker. Some styles come with an animated version as well — that style returns a still set of nine PNG files and an animated set (WebP, plus a ZIP with GIF and WebM). Animated WebP keeps both the transparency and the movement, which is why Telegram accepts it directly. On Discord the animated format is APNG, and on WhatsApp the clean route is still the pack file. Animated versions cost extra credits — see pricing.

One sticker from an animated set — a single WebP file, about 50 KB, transparent background.
