I Built an AI Sticker Maker That Turns Your Photo into Animated Stickers

Every sticker app I tried gave me generic cartoons. I wanted stickers that are unmistakably me — so I built StickersMaker.

AI Animated Sticker Maker from Photos | StickersMaker

Turn one photo into a reusable cartoon character and create transparent animated stickers for WhatsApp, WeChat, Telegram and Discord.

What it does

Upload one photo. The AI builds a cartoon character that looks like you, saves it, and lets you generate animated stickers starring that character. Transparent backgrounds, so they sit cleanly on any chat.

Your character is reusable — up to 20 saved per account, no re-upload needed for new reactions.

The part I found interesting: per-platform export specs

This is where a generic "export as GIF" falls apart. Each platform has its own sticker spec, so the maker exports to the right format for each:

• WhatsApp: 512×512 animated WebP
• WeChat: 240×240 GIF
• Telegram: 512×512 VP9 WebM (≤256KB, ≤3s, no audio) — works with the official @Stickers bot video sticker format
• Discord: 320×320 APNG for server stickers + GIF fallback

One honest note: there's no one-click import anywhere. You download the files and add them with a sticker importer app — I decided early on not to overpromise this.

Pricing

Pay-per-sticker, no subscription. Each sticker costs 10 credits (~$1): $5 for 50, $15 for 180, $30 for 400. Credits never expire. Verify your email and you get 20 credits — enough to try 2 stickers free.

Photos and characters are private to your account; the example characters on the site are AI-generated, not customer photos. Processing files are deleted 7 days after a task ends.

What's next

I'm currently working on more sticker guides (import tutorials per platform) and expanding the example gallery. The site is live at https://meme.ransomz.dev — try it, and tell me what reactions you'd want generated next. Genuinely curious what breaks first.
