THE BEST APPS TO MAKE STICKERS FOR WHATSAPP
If you are not using whatsapp stickers, you are missing one of the best features. We teach you in a simple way how to create whatsapp stickers using the best apps.
WhatsApp stickers are cool, but they are cooler if you are the one who creates them.
And, fortunately, creating them is so easy that you only need one thing: an app to make stickers. What can you do with it? Create your own sticker packs in a matter of minutes for free.
The question is, which one to download?
Don't worry, we have analyzed the 5 best sticker making apps (2021), available for Android and iPhone, to give you a brief review about each of them.
How are WhatsApp stickers made?
The best WhatsApp could do was to enable APIs that would allow users to design their own stickers (or rather, convert their images to stickers).
However, many users still don't know how to make stickers, even though the process is very simple. As we said, all you need is an application, as well as images that meet these requirements:
That they are in png or webp format (a large number of apps accept all image formats, but almost always give problems).
That they have 512 × 512 pixels resolution (it is optional if the application has a basic editor that allows you to crop them).
They should not weigh more than 99 KB. You can use an image compressor (such as TinyPNG) to reduce the size of the photos.
Important: if you do not meet these requirements the stickers will not be displayed in WhatsApp.
The 5 most popular apps to make stickers for WhatsApp
With the following applications you can create your own sticker packs totally free, although some offer a paid version to enjoy more tools.
Whether paid or free, you must keep the application installed to keep the stickers: if you delete it you will not be able to use them even if you have added them to your WhatsApp collection (it is the only downside of these tools).
1. Sticker Maker Studio
And we open the ranking with Sticker Maker, one of the most popular applications for creating stickers, in this case, from memes or your own photos.
It is a simple app (perhaps too simple) that allows you to create 5 packs of stickers with a maximum of 30 stickers per pack.
Its operation is simple, so much so that to start designing your stickers you only need to tap a couple of times:
Create a new package
Assign it a name and icon
And then, you can start choosing the images that you are going to turn into stickers.
When you're done designing them you hit "Add to WhatsApp".
The downside of Sticker Maker is that it does not allow you to rename or change the icon of the created packs.
Although the app is free, it has a paid version that allows you to make stickers with movement, but... paying a monthly subscription... which you surely wouldn't pay, would you?
Wemoji
An alternative, just as free as the previous one but with more customization options, is Wemoji. An application that allows you to create as many packs as you want, but with a maximum of 30 for each pack.
With Wemoji you can remove the background from any image or photograph, crop it to your liking, rotate it or add text (in different fonts, sizes, alignment...) or emojis.
The best thing is that the application allows you to reuse the stickers you have created in new packs, something that almost no app offers.
In our opinion, if the developers add an option to create animated stickers, Wemoji would be the bomb. And of course, if they developed a version for iOS (at the moment, it's only for Android).
WSTicK
It is not as popular as the previous ones, but WSTicK is undoubtedly one of the most complete tools available today.
We are talking about an application with functions to eliminate the background of photographs, crop them or modify their size. Then you can add text, emojis or draw on them.
Be careful, although it is free, it allows you to create a lot of packages, yes, with no more than 16 stickers in each (which can be 30 if you decide on the paid version, which by the way, eliminates ads from the app).
Once you create your sticker packs, you can save them to your Google Drive account, export them to a json file or share them via a QR code.
Personal Sticker Maker
Personal Sticker Maker is an app specially developed to create animated stickers for WhatsApp and iMessage for iOS, the instant messaging app created by Apple.
The app offers more than 1,000 free stickers that you can use as the basis for your own stickers (although, don't expect much).
Anyway, you can add text to your stickers (it has more than 60 different fonts), cut them, apply filters or effects, draw a picture on them, put stickers on top of them... And it still has more.
Now the question is, how many stickers can you create? Get ready, because you can customize unlimited stickers.
And even better, with Personal Sticker Maker you can export your stickers to a file, either to back them up or to share them with others.
