Snapchat stickers let you personalize your Snaps and Chats with everything from built-in designs to your own cut-outs.
How to use Snapchat stickers on a Snap
After taking a photo or video Snap, you reach the Preview screen. Tap the sticker icon to open the sticker drawer, then tap any sticker to add it to your Snap. You can then drag the sticker to reposition it or pinch it to resize it.
How to send stickers in a Snapchat Chat
Open a conversation and tap the smiley face icon or sticker button next to the message box. This opens the Chat sticker drawer. Tap any sticker to send it immediately as a message in the conversation.
How to make a custom sticker from a Snap
Take a photo Snap and go to the Preview screen. Tap the scissors icon, then use your finger to outline the object you want to turn into a sticker. Lift your finger, and the cut-out pastes onto your Snap as a sticker. Snapchat automatically saves it to your sticker drawer for future use on Snaps and in Chats. Custom stickers made with the scissors tool are automatically saved in your sticker drawer and can be used later on Snaps and chats.
How to make a custom sticker from a photo in Chat
Open a chat conversation and tap the sticker icon. Tap “New Sticker,” choose a photo from your camera roll, then tap “Save Sticker.” The photo becomes a reusable sticker in your drawer.
How to create and use Customoji stickers
Customojis are custom text stickers featuring your Bitmoji. In a Chat, start typing a word or phrase; a Customoji sticker appears next to the text box. Tap it to see all Customojis generated from what you typed, then tap one to send it. To add a Customoji to a Snap, create a Snap, go to the Preview screen, tap the text tool, type a caption, then tap the Bitmoji/Customoji option in the caption styles. Tap a Customoji to add it, Snapchat replaces the caption text with the sticker. For Cameo stickers, open the Chat tab, tap in the Chat bar, tap a Cameos tile, take a selfie, and optionally enable two-person Cameos. You can change your Cameo selfie later by long-pressing a Cameo and choosing New Selfie.
How to send generative AI stickers in Chat
Open a chat conversation and tap the sticker icon or smiley face icon. Type a description of the sticker you want, and Snapchat generates a unique AI-powered sticker. Tap it to send it in Chat.
Sticker ideas for your Snaps and Chats
Custom stickers let you build a personal library. Try making funny reaction stickers, freaky faces, flirty emoji combos, foodie cut-outs, magazine-style lettering, or collage/journaling elements. You can also create minimalistic icons or themed sets for holidays and events. The scissors tool and “New Sticker” feature make it easy to turn any photo into a one-of-a-kind sticker.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I export Snapchat stickers to other apps?
Snapchat only allows you to export stickers made from Cameos into other apps. Long-press a Cameo sticker in Chat, tap Export, then choose an app like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Twitter, TikTok, or Viber. Export is limited to Cameos stickers only (as of writing).
How do I change my Bitmoji outfit for stickers?
Tap your Avatar on the Profile screen, then tap Change Outfit. Browse the options to update your Bitmoji’s look, then tap Save. The new outfit appears on all Bitmoji stickers immediately.
Are there limits on how many custom stickers I can save?
Snapchat’s help pages do not state a sticker-count limit or file-size limit for custom stickers. You can save as many as you want using the scissors tool or the “New Sticker” button in Chat.
Can I use stickers on both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Snapchat’s documented sticker paths are the same on supported devices. The sticker drawer on the Preview screen and in Chat works identically on both platforms.
