Create Sticker — Remove Background

Digital stickers — used in messaging apps like WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, and Instagram Stories — require images with transparent backgrounds so only the sticker subject is visible, not a background box. Preparing a sticker means cutting out the subject from its background.

This tool removes the solid background from your image, leaving just the sticker subject on a transparent layer. It works well for clear-background photos, illustrations, and graphics where the subject and background have distinct colours with a clean edge.

For WhatsApp stickers specifically, the output needs to be a WebP file under 500 KB. After removing the background here (PNG), use the Image Compressor tool to convert to WebP. Both tools are 100% client-side with no upload required.
