Summary

Creating stickers for chat platforms and print products is presented as a workflow centered on first isolating a photo subject on a full-resolution transparent PNG, then resizing and exporting copies to meet each destination’s requirements. The guide recommends using Atlas Cloud’s free browser-based background remover to preserve transparency and original dimensions, while noting that resizing, borders, and cut lines must be added separately. Discord emoji are optimized around 128-by-128 pixels, while Discord stickers require 320-by-320 files; Twitch static emotes use square transparent PNGs, commonly uploaded at 112 pixels or larger for automatic resizing, and are subject to content and likeness rules. WhatsApp requires 512-by-512 WebP stickers under 100 KB, whereas Telegram accepts PNG or WebP files with one side exactly 512 pixels and optionally benefits from a white outline. For physical die-cut stickers, printers generally require at least 300 PPI, bleed, and a cut path based on the transparent subject edge, while Cricut Design Space can use transparent PNGs for Print Then Cut projects and add die-cut or kiss-cut borders. The guide emphasizes retaining the high-resolution master file, checking exports against dark backgrounds to detect lost transparency, using owned or authorized images, and treating each output as a platform-specific version of the same original cutout.
