Turn people, pets or products into stickers. The tool grows an even outline outward along the subject's edge — smooth, with rounded corners — and adds a soft drop shadow so it looks like a sticker placed on the page. Outline width scales with the subject and the colour is up to you; shadow softness and distance are adjustable, and you can add padding. A transparent PNG works best; for an ordinary photo, tick automatic AI cutout to remove the background first (downloads a ~45MB model once, then cached). The output is a transparent PNG ready for emoji packs, chat stickers, product images and designs.

## How to use

1. Drop in transparent PNGs or ordinary photos (batch supported)
2. Adjust outline width, colour and shadow
3. Click Make sticker and download the transparent PNG

## Features

- Even outline that follows the shape
- Adjustable colour, width, shadow and padding
- Automatic AI cutout for photos
- Transparent PNG output, batch supported

## FAQ

### Why are gaps in the shape filled in?

When the outline is wider than a gap, the gap fills with the outline colour — just like a real die-cut sticker. Use a thinner outline to keep gaps open.

### The AI cutout isn't accurate — what now?

Run the photo through the Remove Background tool first, check the result, then drop the transparent PNG in here to outline it.

### Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser with no network upload, and is discarded when you close the page.

### Do I need to sign up or pay?

No. The site is completely free, needs no account, has no usage limits and adds no watermark.
