Your first photo sticker, step by step

Choose a subject, pick a finish, and export a PNG. Learn the workflow and what changes when you import in batches.

1. Pick a clear photo

Open the plus menu to take a photo or import one. A clear outline and separation from the background make subjects easier to check. Long-press the camera entry to see your four most recent photos.

Swipe to select multiple photos in the system picker. Batch imports use the classic border. If extraction fails, Snipjoy keeps a full-photo sticker that can be adjusted later.

2. Check your subject

For a single photo, inspect the detected subjects in the editor. Tap a subject or thumbnail, or circle an area to refine the selection. Selection capabilities vary with the system version.

The system may treat several objects as one subject. The preview determines how many stickers will be created; check the mask and edges before continuing.

3. Pick a finish and save

Choose a border, paper, film, or foil finish and confirm. The result goes into your local sticker library and can be adjusted later.

Multiple subjects can be combined or saved as a group. Adjusting one sticker in a group preserves the others.

4. Share a transparent PNG

Copy from the detail screen or open the share sheet. A transparent PNG preserves the cutout and transparent areas. A screenshot usually includes the background and is not a substitute for exporting the file.

The receiving app decides how it is pasted. Snipjoy does not currently export dedicated WhatsApp or Telegram sticker packs; general PNG sharing is a separate workflow.
