Stickerclip creates custom iMessage stickers from the contents of the clipboard, letting you copy and paste images from any source.

Make stickers from the clipboard

Select Stickerclip 👇

Paste an image

First, copy an image to the clipboard and paste into Stickerclip

Add a border

Tap the double circle icon to add/remove a white sticker border and shadow. Adding a border will remove animation from some GIFs.

Change size

Use the circles along the right to select between small, medium or large stickers

Getting Images

You can use images from almost any source. Square images with transparent backgrounds work best, but try many options!

Emoji make great stickers

3moji.org lets you rotate and save emoji in 3D

Emojipedia has emoji from a wide variety of sources.



Transparent images

Google Image Search
lets you filter for images with transparent backgrounds that make great stickers.

Animated Gif Search - gifs also work well, but need to be less than 500k in size.


Subject isolation

iOS 16+ lets you isolate images from backgrounds.

This works nicely on many images from the web, as well as AI generated images from Dall•E or Midjourney

See below for more detail.
