A die-cut sticker is cut along the shape of what is on it, with a thick white border all the way round. That border is what makes a photo look like a real sticker. Here is how to add one to any photo free, with no app and no account.
Make a die-cut sticker in four steps
- Open the free Die-Cut Sticker Border Maker and upload a photo, a pet picture, a logo or a drawing.
- The tool finds your subject and draws a border that follows its outline. If your image already has a transparent background, it uses that edge directly.
- Set the border, outline, shadow and caption (see below).
- Download a PNG with a transparent background for printing and design, or a JPG on a solid background.
Border and outline settings
- Border Thickness: 0 to 60 px. Thicker borders look more like a printed sticker.
- Border Style: Solid Color, or a gradient: Holographic Iridescent, Sunset, Cyber Neon, Metallic Gold or Rainbow Spectrum.
- Add Outer Dual Outline: a second, thinner line around the first, in its own color. A white border with a thin dark outline reads well on any background.
- Sticker Size: scale the subject from 40% to 160%.
Shadow and caption
- Drop shadow: set its softness, strength and direction so the sticker looks like it floats off the page.
- Caption: add a word or a short line, like "Good Morning" or a meme reaction. Pick the font, size, color and outline, tilt it, and drag it into place on the preview.
Sticker ideas
- Your pet with a thick white border and a funny caption.
- A selfie sticker for a laptop or a water bottle.
- Your shop's logo with a gold border, for packaging.
- A drawing or a cartoon of yourself turned into a sticker sheet.
Can I use it as a WhatsApp sticker?
The PNG is ready-made sticker art with a transparent background. WhatsApp and Telegram add custom stickers through their own sticker-pack tools, so save the PNG and import it there.
A photo tip
The cut is cleanest when your subject stands out from a plain background. If the edge comes out rough, remove the background first with the free background remover and upload the transparent result.
