How to make your first AI sticker pack

Start with a character, choose a look, and create a set of 24 expressions. This guide walks through generating, cutting, and downloading your stickers, with optional artwork for publishing on WeChat. No Photoshop required.

1Choose a visual style

Pick from four styles: cute cartoon, pixel art, hand-drawn doodle, and plush 3D. Think about the character and the mood of the pack. Cute cartoon is a straightforward place to start.

Which sticker style should you choose?

• Cute cartoon: big heads and rounded bodies. Works for people and pets, and it is the most common style in chat stickers.
• Pixel art: a retro video-game look for gamers, nostalgic themes, or a playful contrast.
• Hand-drawn doodle: loose, sketchy lines that suit stick figures and caption-driven stickers.
• 3D plush: a soft toy texture for bears, bunnies, and other animal or mascot characters.

2Choose up to three themes

Combine themes such as everyday greetings, humor, office life, romance, food, and celebrations. AI uses your selection to plan expressions, actions, and captions across the pack.

3Add your own captions, if you like

Enter phrases you want on the stickers—such as Hello, Thank you, or Let’s eat. You can supply up to 24 captions. If you enter fewer, AI fills out the pack based on your themes. Keep captions short and check the generated lettering before downloading.

4Give your character a starting point

Upload a reference photo or illustration, or describe a character in words. Include the details that matter most: appearance, clothing, colors, and personality. A clear description helps the pack feel consistent; generated details may still need review.

Making stickers from a photo: pick the right reference

• Use a clear, front-facing portrait or waist-up photo so facial features come through.
• A signature prop in the photo—a scooter, a hat, a pet—tends to carry through the whole pack and makes the character memorable.
• Want a specific setting? Add landmarks or outfit details to the character description.

5Generate your sticker sheet

Generation usually takes around 2–3 minutes. When the sheet is ready, the cutting page opens automatically. If you leave or refresh the page, use History to reopen a saved sticker-sheet generation.

6Review and cut the stickers

The cutting tool separates the sheet into 24 individual 240×240 images. Drag the cutting lines where needed so they do not cross the artwork. Remove any stickers with errors or unwanted text before downloading.

Review your stickers before you download

• Remove stickers with clipped edges, odd details, or captions you do not like. A smaller, stronger set beats a full one.
• For personal chats, you can download right after cutting—store artwork is only needed if you publish.

7Create optional WeChat store artwork

For personal use, you can download the cut stickers and stop here. Publishing on the WeChat Sticker Store also requires a banner, cover, and chat icon, generated using additional credits. If you plan to enable WeChat’s appreciation feature, prepare the support and thank-you images and your artist artwork too. Open the artist profile page to create an avatar and profile banner.

8Download your finished pack

Download the stickers for your own use, or download a bundle after generating the store artwork you need. For WeChat publishing, review the files and follow the publishing guide to submit them through the creator platform.
