How to make your own emoji for whatsapp


5 ways to create your own emoji

“The Emoji Movie” was popular because it reminded us how much emojis are part of our lives. We once could only text with words, but now we can convey entire sentences, thoughts and feelings with a string of emojis. Tap or click here to find out what the 25 most popular emojis mean.

The emoji library continues to grow year by year, and depending on the app you have, your selection can vary. The options have become endless, from smiley faces to hand gestures, depending on how much time you have to scroll.

But did you know you can create emojis? Depending on the app and phone you use, there are countless ways to make fun emojis to send to friends. Intrigued? Here are ways to create custom emojis.

1. Bitmoji

Did you ever wish to turn yourself into a cartoon and send it to friends? With Bitmoji, you can. It’s a free app that allows you to turn yourself into an interactive emoji. You can send them in any app, but it’s entertaining in Snapchat, where the app randomly generates different Bitmojis depending on your conversation.

You can also use it in GBoard, iMessage and Chrome. You’ll need to download the app to create custom Bitmoji. Then it will populate in all available apps. The free Bitmoji app is available for iOS and Android.

2. Angel Emoji Maker

You can download the Angel Emoji Maker app for a truly custom option, but only on Android. You can also access the maker from your PC.

Head to the website and choose your options from the sidebar to create the emoji of your dreams. When you are done, click Save to download it to your computer or phone if you are on the app.

3. GBoard

You can forget third-party apps if you own an Android and use GBoard. Depending on your Android phone, it’s likely already your default keyboard. You can make emojis directly on the keyboard and use them in just about every app on your phone. Here’s how:

  • Open a messaging app that you can use GBoard and send emojis, like WhatsApp.
  • Tap the Stickers icon on GBoard.
  • Tap the plus + button, then select Add next to Minis.
  • Grant GBoard permission to use your camera and take a selfie.
  • After a few seconds, GBoard will create a set of personalized stickers you can use within the keyboard app.
  • Open the Minis tab in GBoard’s sticker section and tap Customize. You can change things like hair color, face shape, facial hair and more.
  • Tap Save. The customized stickers are now ready to use.

4. iMessage

If you have an iPhone, you’ve been able to create custom emojis for years. Inside the pre-installed Messages app on your iPhone, you can use Memoji to make stickers of you and animals called Animoji.

Here’s how to create Memoji:

  • Open Messages and tap the Compose button to start a new message. Or go to an existing conversation.
  • Tap the Memoji button.
  • Tap the bar above the default Memoji to expand the screen.
  • Then tap the New Memoji button.
  • Tap Get Started to customize the features of your memoji like skin tone, hairstyle, eyes and more.
  • Tap Done.

5. Slack

If you use Slack for work, it has taken the emoji game to an entirely new level. You can turn almost any image into an emoji, but sadly it can only be used inside the app. The Slack app is available for free for both Android and iOS devices.

But if you do use Slack, it’s incredibly easy to create a ton of fun little emojis based on images you find around the internet. Here’s how to make emojis within Slack:

  • In a channel or conversation, choose Add Emoji.
  • Upload the picture you want to use.
  • Name it.
  • Use your emoji!

How to make your own WhatsApp emoji stickers

By Ryan Allan

Why use words when you can reply with a custom emoji

Emoji, stickers, and memes have become a language of their own, but sometimes what’s on offer isn’t enough. You have to get in there and craft your own. There are a few ways to do this. Gboard’s Emoji Kitchen lets you mix different emojis together. You can also create a custom cartoon avatar of yourself using Bitmoji. WhatsApp made it possible to create your own custom stickers in its web and desktop versions, but it's still not possible within the mobile app. The other option is to put those drawing skills to use on your mobile device. This guide walks you through turning your illustrations into WhatsApp stickers using the Sticker Maker app.

What you’ll need:

  • A good mobile painting app
  • The Sticker Maker app
  • WhatsApp
  • A tablet or phone with stylus support

Drawing your custom WhatsApp sticker

Stickers and emoji aim to convey an idea or emotion, so be clear on what you want to say before you start pushing pixels around. The images below show a skeptical goblin drawn in both Infinite Painter and Pixel Studio.

  1. Open up your drawing app of choice and create a new canvas.
  2. Set an appropriate size for your canvas. Many apps have a variety of presets to choose from. A 2000px wide square will suffice for this.

  3. Start with a basic shape to work with like a square or circle. You don't have to stay within this of course.
  4. Sketch in your main features. In this case it was the one bigger eye and raised eyebrow for the expression. Then the long ears and nose that are characteristic of goblins.
  5. Add color. Keep the color scheme and detailing simple to ensure your sticker is readable at a small size.
  6. Export your image. If you have a transparent background and save it as a PNG file, this will save you from having to cut out your sticker from the background later.

Creating your sticker in Sticker Maker

  1. Download and Install the Sticker Maker app from the Google Play Store.
  2. When you open up the app, tap the Create a new sticker pack button.
  3. Upload your illustration by tapping on any of the numbered blocks and selecting your image from the file picker.

  4. Cut out your image from the background by drawing around it using your finger or stylus. A small window will show up on the top left with a zoomed in view to help you guide your cutout. If you don't like something or your cutout is a bit wonky, tap the Try Again button.
  5. Add some text for added effect, or change the width and color of the outline.
  6. Go ahead and save your sticker when you're done.
  7. Select a tray icon so that you can easily identify your sticker pack in WhatsApp. You can choose one from your sticker gallery or a different file from your device.
  8. When you're happy with how everything looks, hit the Add changes to WhatsApp button to export them to the app and confirm the changes. Expect an ad popup here.

You can follow the same process with selfies and photos of your pets, friends, or colleagues if you deem them sticker-worthy.

Sending your stickers

  1. Open up a chat in WhatsApp and select the emoji symbol in the app (not on your keyboard).
  2. Tap the sticker icon which will then bring up your available packs.
  3. Tap the tray icon you selected for your sticker pack in Sticker Maker to see your different stickers.

If your friends want to use your stickers, you can share the pack with them from the Sticker Maker app. They will need to have the app installed on their device as well.

If you want to delete your sticker pack, you can do this inside WhatsApp by first tapping the encircled plus sign next to your tray icons. Head over to the My Stickers tab and hit the trash can next to the pack you want to remove. That's all there is to it. Making your own stickers like this is pretty easy, but getting onto the Android and iOS emoji sets is more of a process.

Take your WhatsApp game to the next level

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world due, in part, to its versatility. If you're new to Meta's messaging service you'll definitely want to learn how to use message reactions in WhatsApp.
