Welcome back to another super fun guide on LionAPK! How are you all doing today?
We all chat with our friends and family every single day. And you know what the best part of chatting is? Yes, the funny little pictures! When someone says something silly in the group chat, and you send a picture of a laughing cat, everyone smiles. But what if I told you that you can use your own face? If you want to learn how to make WhatsApp stickers, you are in the perfect place.
Imagine sending a sticker of your own laughing face to your best friend! Isn't that amazing? A lot of people think making these is very hard and requires an expensive computer. Please do not worry! I am here to show you exactly how to do it. It takes only two minutes, it is completely free, and you can do it right on your normal Android phone!
â¡ Quick Answer: > To safely make WhatsApp stickers today, you just need to download a free app called Sticker Maker. You open the app, pick a cut-out picture of yourself, write a funny word on it, and tap "Add to WhatsApp." It is that simple! Let's dive into the easy steps together.
Why You Should Make WhatsApp Stickers Today
Before we start the steps, let us talk about why this is so much fun. When you make WhatsApp stickers, you become the coolest person in your chat groups. Instead of using the same old pictures everyone else uses, you can create something totally new.
You can make a sticker of your pet cat, your favorite toy, or your own happy face. It makes chatting with your family and friends much more special. Plus, once you learn how to make WhatsApp stickers, your friends will definitely ask you to teach them your secret trick!
Step 1: Get Your Pictures Ready First
Before we start using a free sticker app, we need a really good picture to work with.
Remember our last guide where we learned about the best free app to remove background pictures? That is exactly what we need to use here! You do not want a sticker with a messy bedroom or a dirty wall in the background. You only want your face, so it looks clean and neat.
Here is a quick reminder of how to get your photos ready:
-
Take a Photo: Take a funny picture of yourself making a silly face. Make sure the room has bright light so your face looks clear.
-
Erase the Background: Use a free app like Background Eraser or Remove.bg to clear the background so it becomes totally transparent.
-
Save It: Save that clear, cut-out picture safely to your mobile phone gallery.
Once you have your clear pictures saved in your gallery, the real fun begins!
Step 2: Download the Best App to Make WhatsApp Stickers
Now, we need the magic tool that turns your cut-out picture into a real sticker. If you search the store for custom apps, you will see a lot of fake options. Many of these fake apps show too many long video ads and make your phone very slow.
We only want the best and safest apps for our phones. Here are the top two choices that I personally use and love:
| App Name | Why It Is Great | Is it Free? |
| Sticker Maker (by Viko & Co) | Super simple, very clean, and has no heavy ads. Perfect for making your own packs. | Yes! |
| Sticker.ly | Very good if you also want to download ready-made packs made by other people. | Yes! |
For this simple guide, we will use the first one because it is very light and keeps your phone running fast. Go ahead and download Sticker Maker by Viko & Co from the official Google Play Store and hit install. It is the safest way to make WhatsApp stickers.
Step 3: Let's Build Your New Sticker Pack!
Okay, guys, open the Sticker Maker app on your phone. Follow these super easy steps with me:
-
Create a New Pack: When you open the app, look for the big green button that says "Create a new stickerpack." Tap it!
-
Name Your Pack: It will ask for a name. You can type something fun like "My Funny Faces." It will also ask for the author's name. Type your own name there so everyone knows you made it!
-
Open the Pack: Now, tap on the new pack folder you just created. You will see an empty page with lots of little square boxes.
-
The Tray Icon: The very first box at the top is called the "Tray Icon." This is the small cover picture that will show up on your chatting keyboard. Tap it and pick one of your clear, cut-out pictures.
Now, we make the real ones! Tap the box labeled "1" and pick your funny cut-out photo from your gallery.
Step 4: Add Funny Text to Make Them Laugh
This is where you make your creations even better. A funny face is good, but a funny face with a joke written next to it is the absolute best!
When you load your picture into the box, the app gives you a text tool. Tap the text button and type something funny. Here are some cool ideas you can use:
-
"What happened?"
-
"Super!"
-
"I am hungry!"
-
"LOL!"
You can change the color of the text to make it bright red, blue, or green. Put the text right next to your head, and then tap "Save."
Note: According to the official WhatsApp rules for custom stickers, you must have at least THREE of them in your pack before you can add them to your chatting app. So go ahead and make WhatsApp stickers for box number 2 and box number 3 very quickly!
Step 5: Add Them to Your Chats
You did it! You have three super cool designs ready to go. Now, how do we get them to your friends?
Look at the bottom of your screen in the app. You will see a big, bright button that says "Add to WhatsApp." Tap that button!
Your phone will show a small message asking, "Would you like to add My Funny Faces to WhatsApp?" Tap "ADD."
That is it! You are completely done.
How to Send Them to Your Friends
