Convert any photo on your smartphone into a WhatsApp Sticker

WhatsApp finally enabled stickers feature last month and offered a bunch of stickers option within the main application. Most of the stickers available as part of initial launch on WhatsApp are identical to ones previously available on Facebook Messenger. But if you own an Android smartphone then creating new stickers and adding them to your library on WhatsApp is not a difficult task.

One of the apps gaining popularity for development of stickers on Android is called the Sticker Studio. The free app created by Sven van der Zee allows you to snap photos or import images into it and then allows users to simply draw an outline around the portion you want to turn into a sticker. Though it has some kind of limitations, it is arguably one of the easiest ways to create new stickers on WhatsApp.

Some of the restrictions with the app is that you will need to create at least three stickers before you can export a pack of them into WhatsApp. The app has limitation of 10 sticker packs with a maximum of 30 stickers per pack.

If you are someone who tends to be in a number of WhatsApp groups and would prefer sharing your own reaction stickers instead of those available on the internet then this app would be the one you need to download on your Android smartphone. Since the feature went live, the stickers seems to be the go to thing for most WhatsApp users.

During the festive season, a lot of WhatsApp users tweeted that they have been only getting stickers from friends and family. If you wish to add new human element to that feature then Sticker Studio will really handy. There are also other apps like ‘Sticker Maker’ that let you create your own stickers for WhatsApp.

WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that would let users search for stickers. While WhatsApp is new to the stickers feature, it seems to have gained popularity much faster than platforms like Telegram, Facebook Messenger and Hike Messenger, which have had stickers feature for few years now.
