GridSticker turns AI-generated sticker sheets into ready-to-send sticker packs for WhatsApp, Telegram, LINE, and iMessage. Point the camera at something and snap it straight into a sticker. Or drop in a video and get animated ones. Start free — your first pack costs nothing, with every tool and every export included. No watermark, nothing held back. GridSticker Pro is a one-time unlock for unlimited packs after that. One payment, no subscription. Drop in any sheet — 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, anything up to 10×10 — and GridSticker slices it into individual stickers automatically. Tweak the grid by hand if it gets it wrong. Then ship the pack to WhatsApp or Telegram in one tap, build a LINE Creator ZIP ready for upload, send a real sticker pack to iMessage, or save the high-res PNGs to Photos. WHAT'S INSIDE • Grid-slicing for any sticker sheet — any layout, any size, up to 10 rows × 10 columns • Video import — drop in a clip and get animated stickers, with the frame rate set per sticker • Camera capture — snap a photo and the subject gets cut out for you. Continuous shooting keeps the camera open, with flash, rotate, and delete right there • Custom sticker tray — browse curated packs, drag the ones you want into your own mix • Animated stickers. Drop a multi-frame sheet, line frames up with onion-skin, then export as animated WebP for WhatsApp or as a GIF to Photos • Smooth corners via vector contour tracing — no staircase pixels along the edge • The white outline that makes a sticker read as a sticker, with adjustable width • Background removal: pick your subject, or just remove the white with a tolerance dial when the source is messy • Erase brush for stray pixels the auto-cutout missed. Undo if you slip, and the brush sits where your thumb is whether you're lefty or righty • Per-tile fine-tuning when one sticker won't cooperate • Lossless WebP under WhatsApp's 100KB limit, lossy when it has to be • Hi-res Photos export with the transparent background intact WHO IT'S FOR • You generated emoji stickers in any of the popular AIs and want them as a real WhatsApp, Telegram, LINE, or iMessage pack • You scan or photograph drawings and want them clipped, outlined, and shareable • You run a Cricut and need clean white-bordered PNGs for Print-then-Cut sticker projects EXPORT TO • WhatsApp — full sticker pack in one tap, static or animated • Telegram — full sticker pack via Telegram's own importer • LINE Creator — bundled ZIP with the right sticker dimensions, main image, and chat-tray icon, ready to upload at creator.line.me • iMessage — a real Messages sticker pack, in your Stickers tray in one tap • Photos — full PNG, transparent background, no compression • Photos GIF — for animated packs you want to share outside chat apps Made on a small island. gridsticker.peterong.dev

Cropcut turns any photo into a sticker and lets you build something new with it. No ads, no subscriptions, no account. Everything happens on your phone. CUT OUT ANYTHING • Tap Remove Background for an instant, automatic cutout. • Or trace around your subject with your finger. Cropcut snaps to the edges, so you get the exact cut you wanted, even when auto-detection gets it wrong. • Crop, undo, and fine-tune until it's just right. MAKE IT A STICKER Every cutout is saved to your reusable sticker tray and to your Photos as a transparent image. Your dog, your friend's face, that one perfect reaction shot, cut it once, use it forever. COMPOSE & CREATE • Drop your stickers onto any photo. • Drag to move, pinch to resize, twist to rotate. • Add text, and draw on top with freehand markup. • Save your creation to Photos or share it anywhere. Messages, WhatsApp, Instagram, wherever you like. MADE FOR CREATORS Memes, custom emoji, profile pictures, scrapbook pages, journal stickers, birthday cards, playful collages. Cropcut keeps it fast and fun. WHAT MAKES CROPCUT DIFFERENT • Trace it yourself. Automatic cutouts are great until they aren't. When the background remover leaves a stray edge or grabs the wrong thing, just draw around what you want and Cropcut snaps to it. • Cutouts you can actually reuse. Your stickers live in a tray inside the app and as real PNG files in Photos, so they work everywhere, not just in one keyboard. • Cut and compose in one place. No bouncing between a cutout app and a collage app. • Nothing to unlock. There is no Pro tier, no watermark, no daily limit, no trial that quietly turns into a subscription. Every feature is available to everyone from the first tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account required. • No sign-in, no tracking, no data collection. • Your photos never leave your device. Download Cropcut and start cutting. Cropcut is an independent app and is not affiliated with Apple, WhatsApp, Meta, or any other company mentioned.
