  5. Crop the image to make your own sticker and click ‘Yes, Save Sticker’ to add that sticker to your pack. 
  6. Now, you need at least 3 stickers to publish a pack and add it to WhatsApp.

You can add up to 30 stickers in one sticker pack using this ‘Sticker maker for WhatsApp’ app. Moreover, you will need to add all 30 stickers at once as the pack cannot be edited once published on WhatsApp. You can publish with lesser stickers also (Minimum 3), but cannot add more to the pack upon publishing. This app even allows you to restart cropping if you go wrong somewhere in between. It should be noted that the custom WhatsApp stickers option is only available for Android users for now. If you can’t add the stickers to WhatsApp, it means you haven’t received the latest update. You can wait for the update to come via google play, or update via the website of WhatsApp.
