WhatsApp stickers must be exactly 512x512 pixels. Upload your image below, crop it to a square, and download a file at the precise size WhatsApp sticker packs require.
| Required size | 512 x 512 pixels exactly |
|---|---|
| Aspect ratio | 1:1 (square) |
| Tray icon size | 96 x 96 pixels |
| Preferred format | WEBP with a transparent background |
| Maximum file size | 100 KB per static sticker |
| Margin | Leave roughly 16 px of clear space around the edge |
WhatsApp rejects stickers that are not exactly 512x512, and sticker pack apps will refuse to build a pack if a single image is off. This is one of the few sizes on any platform that is a hard requirement rather than a recommendation.
WhatsApp stickers must be exactly 512 x 512 pixels. Unlike most social sizes this is a strict requirement, not a recommendation.
The tray icon that represents the pack is 96 x 96 pixels, separate from the 512 x 512 stickers themselves.
Stickers are meant to sit on top of a chat background, so a transparent PNG or WEBP looks far better than a square photo with a solid background.
The usual causes are dimensions other than 512 x 512, or a static sticker file larger than 100 KB. Resize first, then compress if needed.
