How to make stickers on WhatsApp: from the app to your group

Knowing how to make stickers on WhatsApp is one of the best ways to make a group more fun: the right sticker is worth three paragraphs of reply. The good news is that you can create your own in a few seconds, without installing anything.

This guide covers the path WhatsApp itself offers and what changes when Becca is in the group: stickers from photos, videos and text, emoji mixes, renaming packs and converting stickers back into images.

WhatsApp's native way

In recent versions, WhatsApp has a sticker maker that works from a photo and lives in the sticker tray: you pick a photo and the app turns it into a sticker. For everyday use, it works well. If the option does not show up on your phone, update the app and look again.

The limit shows up when you want more: a short video turned into an animated sticker, a sticker made only of text, a different pack name, or doing all of this right in the conversation without leaving the group. That is where a bot helps.

A good way to start is with inside jokes: the screenshot of that classic reply, the photo from the barbecue, the video of the goal. A sticker with the history of your group is a bigger hit than any ready-made pack, which is why making your own is worth it.

Photo and video stickers with Becca

With Becca in the group, send a photo or a video of up to 10 seconds with the command in the caption, or reply to media that is already in the chat. The sticker shows up in seconds. Want to choose the pack and author name? Write !figurinha my pack | my name.

• !figurinha (or !s): square sticker, stretching the image to fit the square
• !fsticker: keeps the original format of the photo or video
• !crsticker: also square, but zooming in instead of distorting, great for portraits

If a video is longer than 10 seconds, Becca refuses and asks for a shorter one, so trim the clip before sending.

Text stickers, no photo needed

Sometimes the sticker is just a phrase. Send the command with your text after it, like !attp good morning, group, and Becca returns the finished sticker.

• !attp: animated, colorful text
• !ttp: colorful text, no animation
• !brat: a brat-style sticker with your text
• !bratanim: an animated brat sticker that types word by word
• !quote: a sticker with your text and your photo

Emojis, names and conversions

Once the sticker is ready you can still tweak it, and the way back exists too:

• !emojimix 😀 | 🔥: merges two emojis into a single sticker
• !emoji: turns an emoji into a sticker
• !rename: reply to a sticker and give the new pack and author, separated by |
• !copiarfig: renames the sticker with your name
• !tirarnomefig: removes the name from the sticker
• !toimg: converts the sticker into an image
• !togif: converts the animated sticker into a GIF

Just want some fun? !figu 5 sends five stickers at once (the maximum is 10).

Admins: every photo in the group gets a sticker

If your group lives on stickers, an admin can turn on !autofig. While it is active, Becca turns every photo and every video under 10 seconds sent to the group into a sticker, with nobody typing anything. It is a group preference, so you can turn it on and off whenever you want. In announcement or work groups, where every photo already makes enough noise, leave it off: Becca answers each media file with an extra sticker.

Tips for quality stickers

• Choose images with a clean background and a centered subject: stickers are seen small, and too much detail turns into a blur
• Use sharp, well-lit photos: a shaky or dark image looks even worse after it is shrunk
• For videos, prefer short, direct clips, well under the 10 second limit
• Avoid small letters in the image: on a sticker they become unreadable. For text, use !brat or !ttp
