ChatGPT Can Now Turn Your Photos Into Custom iMessage and WhatsApp Stickers

OpenAI has introduced a fun new feature for ChatGPT that allows users to turn their personal photos into custom stickers. The feature can take images from your photo library, remove the background, and transform them into stickers that can be shared in messaging apps.

The update makes it easier to create personalized stickers without using a separate photo editing or sticker-making app. Users can also create different designs from the same photo, depending on the style they want.

How to create stickers with ChatGPT

Creating a sticker is a simple process. Users first need to open ChatGPT and go to the Images section from the sidebar. From there, they can select Stickers and upload one or more photos.

After uploading an image, ChatGPT can turn it into a sticker with a transparent background. Users can create stickers one at a time or use several photos to make a complete sticker pack.

The feature also provides several visual styles. These include 3D, hand-drawn, holographic, comic book, and anime-inspired looks. Users can select a style or simply describe the type of sticker they want ChatGPT to create.

This means a regular photo can be transformed into something that looks completely different. For example, a normal portrait can become an illustrated sticker, while a picture of a pet can be turned into a cartoon-style design.

ChatGPT also gives users the ability to make changes before the sticker is finished. Users can ask the AI to add or remove elements from the image. This can be useful when a photo contains objects that should not appear in the final sticker.

Another interesting option is the ability to use a reference image. If users find a particular visual style they like, they can provide that image and ask ChatGPT to create a sticker with a similar look.

Users can also describe their preferred style using text. This gives them more flexibility and means they do not always need to find a reference image first.

Stickers can be shared on iMessage and WhatsApp

After creating the stickers, users can select the Add to Chat Apps option. ChatGPT currently provides three choices: iMessage, WhatsApp, and Save to Photos.

The iMessage option allows users to add their creations to Apple’s messaging platform. WhatsApp users can also export the stickers, although there is one restriction.

To export stickers to WhatsApp, users need to have at least three stickers ready. This requirement comes from WhatsApp and applies to apps that export sticker packs. It is not a separate limitation imposed by ChatGPT.

The ability to save stickers to Photos also gives users more control over where they use their creations. They can keep the images for later or share them through other platforms.

Transparent backgrounds are useful beyond stickers

The background removal feature could also be useful for other tasks. ChatGPT can create images with transparent backgrounds, which makes it easier to produce clean cutouts.

For example, users could remove the background from a product photo, object, or person and use the result in another project. This makes the feature useful even for people who are not interested in creating stickers.

Overall, the new feature adds another simple creative tool to ChatGPT. Users can now turn everyday photos into personalized stickers, customize their appearance, and quickly share them through iMessage or WhatsApp.

For people who regularly use stickers in chats, the feature could be a convenient way to create unique designs without relying on dedicated editing apps.
