How to Create Your Own Personal WhatsApp Stickers

WhatsApp has finally rolled out the stickers feature in the latest update. Stickers provides an expressive and fun way of chatting with your friends. They can help you to express your emotions or actions better than a simple text or even emojis.

In our previous post, we have discussed how to download and send stickers in WhatsApp. There are a limited number of built-in sticker packs in WhatsApp, however, WhatsApp also allows you to add stickers from third-party apps.

This tutorial will guide you how to make your own personal WhatsApp stickers from normal images (including selfies). You can add these stickers in a custom sticker pack and send them to your WhatsApp chat.

   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.
