Step-by-Step: Making Transparent PNG Stickers for WhatsApp & Telegram

Sticker packs are an essential form of communication on platforms like Telegram, WhatsApp, and iMessage. Making your own custom stickers is highly engaging, but it requires a clean transparent PNG image format. Here is how you can build sticker assets in a few clicks using the Removely background remover.

Creating the Perfect Sticker Asset

A classic sticker consists of a cleanly segmented foreground subject framed with a thick, high-contrast outer border. Using our browser-based AI editor, you can make these sticker layouts automatically:

1. Select a selfie or object photo and drag it onto the removely.in home screen.
2. Once the AI cuts out the subject, open the **⚡ Trending Layouts** section in the side toolbar.
3. Select the **Sticker Cut** layout template. This applies a contrasting solid backdrop so you can see the outline, and renders a clean white contour border around your subject.
4. Adjust the border thickness slider to customize the visual style of your sticker.
5. Download the resulting high-resolution transparent PNG cutout to your device.

Once downloaded, you can import your custom transparent PNG stickers into any WhatsApp or Telegram sticker creator app and start sharing them with your friends!
