Open the app and tap “Load a photo” button to load the photo whose sticker you want to create.
Crop the photo as much as possible and then tap the “Done” button.
In the next screen, you have to erase the background of an image. Either you can use an auto option to select the background area or you can erase the background manually.

You can also use an extract option which allows you to select the area you want to erase or keep. If you have erased the wrong area, you can undo the changes or use repair option. To edit the edges of an object more sharply, you can zoom in the photo with your fore-fingers. You can also change the background color of the editing screen using BgColor button.
Once you have erased the image, click “Done” button.
Finally, select the smoothness of the edges and tap the “Save” button. That’s it.
