Edit the cutout

Paint over the photo to erase parts or bring them back. Zoom: Ctrl + wheel, pinch, or the buttons. Move: wheel, two fingers, or Space + drag. Painting needs a mouse, pen or touch; all other controls work with the keyboard (Ctrl+Z undo, Ctrl+Y redo).

How to make a sticker in 3 steps

  1. Add a photo

    Choose a photo with a clear subject: a person, a pet or an object. Drop it, paste it, or pick it from your phone or computer.

  2. Check your sticker

    The Sticker format is already selected. The background is removed on your device; turn the outline on or off and change its colour and thickness.

  3. Download

    Download the WebP for WhatsApp or the PNG for Telegram. Each app has its own steps to add your own stickers, so check them in the app.

Private by design: your photo is never uploaded

With Alphelo, the AI model is downloaded to your browser once and runs on your own device. Your photo is never sent anywhere, so we cannot see, store or recover it. Alphelo sets no cookies and uses no analytics or ads. Details are in our privacy policy.

Free, with no account and no watermark

There are no credits to buy, no sign-up and no watermark on the result. Use it as often as you like.

Tips for a good sticker

Pick a photo where the subject is large and well lit, ideally against a plain or contrasting background. Faces, pets and objects work best. If a small piece of background is left, open Edit cutout and erase it with the brush before you download.

Why the WebP is so small

WhatsApp only accepts stickers under 100 KB. Alphelo saves the WebP at the best quality that still fits, and tells you the final size. Very detailed photos may not fit: in that case try a simpler photo, or use the PNG for Telegram.

Questions

Is the sticker maker free?

Yes. There is no account, no credits and no watermark.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The AI model runs inside your browser, on your own device, so your photo is never sent to a server.

What size is the sticker?

512 × 512 px, with a transparent background and an optional outline. You can change the outline colour and thickness.

Can I make an animated sticker?

No. Alphelo makes still stickers from photos.
