Short description

Stickify turns any photo into a sticker automatically and puts it in your iPhone’s sticker drawer, ready to send from the emoji keyboard.

Longer description

Pick a photo or take one, and Stickify does the rest. It uses Apple’s on-device subject lifting to cut out the person, pet or object the moment the photo arrives, with no long-press, and saves the sticker on its own. When a photo has several people, you choose who goes in, or everyone.

Each effect you save becomes its own sticker: Original, Outline and Shadow for free, and Cartoon, Comic, Sketch, Pop Art, Neon, Noir, Vintage and Puffy with Stickify Pro. Framing options zoom in on faces so they stay clear at sticker size, and Touch Up fixes the edges by hand.

Stickify adds its stickers to the iPhone’s own sticker drawer, so they work from the emoji keyboard in Messages, WhatsApp, Messenger and other apps that support iOS stickers. Cut-outs are made on the iPhone, and Stickify has no accounts, analytics, ads or tracking.

Please don’t change the icon’s colors or shape. iOS rounds the corners itself, so the 1024 px file is square.

Taken in the iOS Simulator, which has no camera (so the Camera button looks dimmed) and can’t run the cut-out. The stickers in them were made on a Mac with Stickify’s own cut-out and effects code, unchanged, then loaded into the app. Effects can look slightly different on an iPhone.
