Add Stickers to Photo

Decorate a photo with stickers, emoji and captions: drag them into place, resize and turn them with the corner handle, then download the full-size picture.

How to add stickers to a photo

  1. Choose a photo. It stays on your device.
  2. Tap a sticker, an emoji or Add text. It appears in the middle of the photo.
  3. Drag it into place. Drag the round handle at its corner to resize and turn it, or use the Size, Rotation and Opacity sliders.
  4. Use Flip, Copy, Bring forward and Send backward to arrange several stickers, and Undo if you change your mind.
  5. Download the photo as JPG or PNG.

With a keyboard, click the photo and use the arrow keys to move the selected sticker (hold Shift for bigger steps), + and − to resize, [ and ] to turn, and Delete to remove it.

The stickers

There are 44 stickers in five groups: faces, love & party, arrows & marks, badges and fun & nature. They are drawn as shapes rather than pictures, so they stay sharp at any size. Many can be recoloured: hearts, stars, arrows, badges and speech bubbles take any colour you pick.

Example: how big a sticker comes out

Sizes are a share of the photo, so the download matches what you see. A heart added at the starting size is 22% of the photo's width: on a 4000 × 3000 phone photo that is 880 × 803 pixels in the file, drawn fresh at that size rather than stretched from a small picture.

More ways to edit

Under the download, Next step opens the cropper, resizer, compressor or converter with your stickered photo. For captions with a tiled watermark or a batch of photos, use Add text to image; for a YouTube cover, the YouTube thumbnail maker uses the same stickers.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add stickers to a photo on my phone?

Choose the photo, tap a sticker to add it, then drag it with your finger. Drag the round handle at its corner to make it bigger or smaller and to turn it. Tap Download image when you're done. Dragging on an empty part of the photo scrolls the page as usual.

Are the stickers free to use?

Yes. They were drawn for this site and you can use them in anything you make here, including posts for your business. There is no watermark and no sign-up.

Can I add my own sticker or logo?

Yes. Open the Picture tab and choose any image: a logo, a cut-out PNG with a transparent background or a second photo. It is placed on top and works like any other sticker.

Can I put emoji on a photo?

Yes. The Emoji tab has common ones, and you can paste any emoji. They are drawn with your phone's or computer's own emoji font, so they look like the emoji you see when you type.

Will my photo lose quality?

The download is your photo at its full size (very large photos are capped at 16.7 megapixels, the most an iPhone browser can draw) with the stickers drawn at that size. Choose PNG to avoid any JPG compression.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The editing and the download happen in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device.
