(People can save you emoji if they want and use it in their own Whatsapp. You can find your newly created emoji-set if you click on the following icon (on iOS)Īnd once you click on one of your emoji it will be sent to your contact, who you are in chat at the moment. The emojis got imported into your Whatsapp. (Not sure if we have to mention this, seems obvious, Whatsapp must be installed on your phone) The last step is to click on the green button, ‘Add to Whatsapp’ (and actually click on the next one as well that says Save) and you are done. (Actually it was already removed in Photoshop but you need to click on it anyway) So create one tray icon and minimum 3 emojis.ĭont forget to click on the first icon, ‘Select all’, which will remove the background for you. Then you just need to add as many images as you want in your pack (actually the maximum is 30)īut it needs at least 3 images in one pack, otherwise you can not add it to Whatsapp. And while you are there make the other PNG’s 512×512 pixels big because the other images (these will be the emojis) must be in this particular size. Of course if you didn’t know that go back to Photoshop and make the PNG that big. This will be the smallest icon Whatsapp will use as a tray icon, the size of this must be 96×96 pixel, so basically a square image. Inside the app, at the very bottom of the screen choose ‘Create a new sticker pack’ and fill out the form (pack name and author), this can be anything really.Ĭlick on the pack you just created then click again on the first icon. You can download the app from the website of the maker’s of the app. Once the image is on your phone go to the free app, called Sticker Maker, this can create the emoji for you. Actually before that you must send over this PNG to you phone (for example if you have iOS, then choose Airdrop and just send it over to your Mac, if you have a PC then send it to yourself in email, for example). This format, similar to GIF, can handle transparent backgrounds, and that is what we will need.įrom Photoshop’s Export menu choose Quick Export as PNG. Then put it in a new layer, together with a hand (only if you want) and some text (only if you want too) So just open the photo in your favourite image editing program (which is probably Photoshop) and with the lasso tool cut around the head, just under the chin. You need a good photo of yourself (or somebody else’s), if possible one where the background is well separated from the foreground, this way we can easily remove it. Let’s make a Whatsapp emojiįirst thing first. Isn’t that great that you can send you friend your own photo as an emoji? It is easier to make it then you think. Let’s see how to make a Whatsapp emoji from your photo.
