How In-Browser Processing Works
WhatsApp requires all custom stickers to be formatted as transparent .webp images with exact 512x512 pixel dimensions and file sizes under 100KB. Our tool loads your image onto an HTML5 Canvas, centers and scales the content within the 512x512 bounding box while preserving aspect ratio, and exports an optimized WebP binary stream with transparent alpha channels.
Pro Tips for Best Results
- Use our Background Remover tool first if your image has a background that you want to make transparent.
- Leave a slight 16px transparent margin around your subject so the sticker doesn't clip WhatsApp chat bubbles.
- Sticker files are exported under 100KB to ensure fast, glitch-free sending across all mobile networks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does WhatsApp require stickers to be exactly 512x512 WebP?
WhatsApp's sticker engine enforces strict 512x512 pixel dimensions and WebP format with a 100KB file size cap to ensure stickers render identically across iOS, Android, and Web without causing chat lag.
How do I add the downloaded sticker to WhatsApp?
On WhatsApp Web, simply drag and drop the downloaded .webp file into any chat. On iPhone and Android, you can send the sticker file directly or import it using any sticker pack maker app.
Does this tool automatically remove photo backgrounds?
This tool formats and resizes your images. If you need to remove the photo background first, use our companion 'Background Remover' tool, then format the transparent PNG here!
Will the sticker have a transparent background?
Yes! If you upload a PNG with transparency, the alpha channel is fully preserved in the exported WebP sticker.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No — everything happens in your browser, your file never reaches a server.
Do I need to create an account?
No, no sign-up required.
Is this really free?
Yes, no hidden charges, no watermark on your output.
