About This Tool
WhatsApp requires custom stickers to meet exact technical formatting rules: a square canvas of exactly 512 by 512 pixels, an exported WebP file format, and transparent margins so graphic edges do not bleed into chat bubble borders. This tool formats any uploaded picture or transparent PNG into that required frame directly in your browser.
When you load an image, the tool calculates proportional scaling to preserve aspect ratio, centers the graphic within the 512x512 boundary, and applies your chosen margin padding. You can then download the resulting WebP sticker file immediately.
### A Real Example You have a transparent cutout logo measuring 1200x800 pixels saved as "mascot.png". You upload the image to the sticker workspace. The tool scales the graphic proportionally to fit within 480x480 pixels (using default 16px safety padding), centers it on the transparent 512x512 canvas, and renders the result. You click "Download WebP Sticker" to save "mascot-sticker.webp" for adding into your sticker pack application.
### How Your Data Is Processed All canvas manipulation and format encoding take place locally inside your web browser using HTML5 Canvas rendering. Your uploaded images and generated sticker files remain entirely in your device memory and are never transmitted to remote web servers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the exported sticker use WebP format?
WebP is the official format required by WhatsApp for static and animated custom stickers because of its efficient compression and alpha transparency support.
Does this tool automatically cut out photo backgrounds?
No. This tool formats, scales, and pads your image onto the 512x512 sticker canvas. To isolate a portrait subject from a busy background first, use the AI background remover tool.
Are my images stored on Ubify servers?
No. All canvas drawing and WebP encoding happen client-side in your local browser runtime.
