How to Make Stickers on Instagram
Instagram has its own cutout tool, so here is how to make stickers on Instagram without another app. Open the Story camera, tap the sticker icon and choose Cutouts (it may be labeled Create cutout). Pick a photo from your camera roll, let Instagram select the subject and save it. The cutout goes into your sticker tray, so you can add it to any Story or Reel later. On some public posts and Reels you can also create a cutout from the three-dot menu. Feature availability varies by app version, account and region.
Instagram cutouts are plain, though: no border, no frame, no text. For custom Instagram stickers with a white border, a neon edge, an instant photo frame or a caption, make the sticker here first, download the PNG, then add it to your Story or save it once as a cutout so it stays in your sticker tray. That is how to make your own stickers on Instagram that look like a real sticker pack.
Make a Custom Instagram Sticker Here
How to create stickers on Instagram that stand out: start with a clean cutout and a bold border. Three steps, on your phone or computer.
Pick a Sticker Look
Start from a preset such as White Cutout, Neon Edge or Instant Photo Frame, then change the border, its width, the frame or the style, and type an optional caption.
Download the Sticker PNG
Make the sticker and save the PNG to your phone. It sits alone on a plain background, so Instagram’s cutout tool picks it up cleanly. Want a fully see-through background? Run it through Make Image Transparent first.
How to Add Your Own Sticker to an Instagram Story
Once the sticker is saved, this is how to add your own stickers to Instagram. Menus can vary slightly between app versions.
Start a Story and Open the Sticker Tray
Swipe to the Story camera, pick a background photo or color, then tap the sticker icon. What is the photo sticker on Instagram? It places any picture from your camera roll on top of a Story: choose it and pick your sticker PNG.
Save It as a Cutout (Optional)
To keep it for later, choose Cutouts in the sticker tray, select the sticker PNG and save it. With a clean border on a plain background, Instagram finds the edge in one try.
Resize, Place and Share
Pinch to resize and rotate, drag it into place and share. Interactive stickers such as polls, questions and links can’t be covered, so keep photo stickers next to them, not on top.
Why Make Custom Instagram Stickers Here
Instagram stickers custom-made from your own photos look better with a clean cutout, a bold border and a little personality.
Cut Out People, Pets and Products
AI finds the subject and removes the background, keeping hair, fur and product edges. A selfie, your dog on the sofa or a candle you sell becomes a custom Instagram sticker in one step, with no tracing.
White Borders Like Real Stickers
A thick white die-cut border is what makes a cutout look like a sticker. Choose white, black, neon or pink, set the width, or put the subject in an instant photo frame or on a pastel badge.
Sticker PNGs for Stories and Reels
Every sticker downloads as a PNG with the design alone on a plain background and a margin around it, so it drops onto a Story or Reel, goes into Instagram’s cutout tool in one tap, or turns fully transparent with Make Image Transparent.
Text Captions and Badges
Type a short caption such as "Weekend mood", "New drop" or "Thank you" and it is lettered into the sticker. Great for custom IG stickers on product launches, countdowns and birthdays.

Tips for Better Instagram Stickers
How to make an Instagram sticker that stays sharp starts with the right photo.
Use the Original Photo
Upload the full-quality photo instead of a screenshot so the sticker stays crisp when you enlarge it.
One Clear Subject
A single person, pet or product that stands out from the background gives the cleanest cutout.
Match the Border to the Story
White borders work on almost any photo; neon or black borders stand out on light or busy backgrounds.
Keep Captions Short
One to three words read best at Story size and leave room for the photo behind.

Instagram Sticker Maker FAQ
How to make, add and use custom stickers on Instagram.
If you mean how to make a sticker on Instagram itself: open the Story camera, tap the sticker icon, choose Cutouts, pick a photo and save the cutout to your sticker tray. For a sticker with a border, frame or caption, here is how to make your own sticker on Instagram: upload the photo here, pick a preset, download the PNG and add it to your Story.
In the Story sticker tray, choose Cutouts (or Create cutout), select a photo from your camera roll and let Instagram select the subject, then save it. That is how to make a sticker in Instagram from a photo in a few taps. A sticker made here first gets a cleaner edge because it already sits on a plain background.
Cutouts are rolling out by app version, account type and region, so not everyone has them yet. Update the Instagram app and check again. Until then, here is how to create a sticker on Instagram without it: make the sticker here and add the PNG to your Story with the photo sticker.
Here is how to add a sticker on Instagram from your camera roll: start a Story, tap the sticker icon and choose the photo sticker, then pick your sticker PNG. Instagram photo stickers can be pinched to resize and dragged into place before you share. Keep it next to interactive stickers such as polls or links, because those can’t be covered.
There is no fixed sticker size: you resize it with two fingers in the Story editor. Stories are 1080 × 1920 pixels, so a sticker image of about 1,000 pixels on its longest side stays sharp even when enlarged. Stickers made here download at full resolution and work well at that size.
Yes. How do you make a sticker on Instagram from your own photo? Upload it here: selfies, pets, products and food all work, and you can add a border, frame or caption. Only use photos you have the right to use, and ask friends before turning them into stickers.
It is free to try: you get free credits when you sign up, and the price of each sticker is shown before you make it. Instagram’s own Cutouts feature is free inside the app.
Not with this tool; it makes still stickers. Instagram can create cutouts from some videos and Reels, and you can search GIF stickers in the sticker tray. A still sticker with a bold border still stands out in a Story or Reel.
Yes. This sticker maker runs in your phone browser on Android and iPhone, so there is nothing to install. Save the PNG to your gallery, then add it in the Instagram app. The Cutouts feature itself depends on your Instagram version.
Your photo is uploaded only so the AI can make your sticker. We do not sell your photos, share them publicly or use them as examples on this site. Download the sticker when it is ready, and only upload photos you have the right to use.
