How to Create and Use Custom Stickers in Snapchat

Snapchat has all sorts of fun features that you probably use for hours. Who hasn’t tried face swap and enjoyed Snapchat’s stories too? Snapchat stickers are also a great feature that give your snaps your own personal touch. But are you sure that you’re taking full advantage of everything that Snapchat has to offer when it comes to stickers? For instance, did you know that you can quickly turn an object from a snap into a sticker? Here’s how to create and add custom stickers on Snapchat.

How to Make Custom Snapchat Stickers

Creating a sticker out of any object in an image is very easy. Follow the instructions below:

Open Snapchat and take a snap like you usually would or add an image from your Memories or Gallery.
After taking the snap, you’ll see various options on the upper-right side of your display. Tap on the Scissor tool and outline the object you want to turn into a sticker by using your finger.

Snapchat will automatically crop out the sticker and place it above the current image. Drag the sticker where you want it to go. The custom sticker will also be automatically saved with all the other ones you’ve previously created (if any).

To remove the sticker from the current image, hold and drag it to the Delete icon. Note that the Trash/Delete icon will not appear until you select the sticker.

Create more custom stickers similarly.

How to Access and Add Custom Stickers

To access your custom stickers, take a snap and tap on the Sticker icon that looks like a square with a folded corner.
You’ll see all the integrated stickers Snapchat has to offer. Tap on the Scissor icon to view the custom stickers you have created.

Tap on a sticker to add it to the current snap. You can add multiple custom stickers to your snap.

Tip: if you’re looking for a particular sticker, don’t forget to use the search option at the top.

Once added, you can use the custom stickers just like regular stickers. Touch and hold a sticker and drag it to change its position. Use the pinch-in and -out gestures on a sticker to resize and rotate it. To remove it, press and hold it and drag to the Delete icon.

How to Remove Custom Snapchat Stickers

To delete any custom sticker from the sticker list, first, open the Sticker section by tapping on the Sticker icon on any snap, then press the Scissor tab to view the custom stickers.

Tap and hold the sticker that you want to delete and press the “Delete” button.

How to Send Custom Stickers in a Chat

In addition to inserting custom stickers in a snap, you can send them as images in chats. For that, follow these steps:

Open the chat where you want to send it.
Tap on the Emoji icon next to the typing area. All the available emojis and stickers will show up.

Press the Scissor icon to view the manually-created stickers. Tap on a sticker to send it.
