How to Make Text & Name Stickers for WhatsApp

A few words can turn a plain cutout into the perfect reaction — "HAHA", "مبروك", someone's name, your group's catchphrase. The free Sticker Maker app lets you add Arabic or English text to any sticker. Here's how.

How to add text to a sticker

  1. Open Sticker Maker and create a sticker (from a photo or a plain background).
  2. Tap "Add text" and type your words — Arabic or English.
  3. Pick a font, color, and outline. Bold, high-contrast text reads best at sticker size.
  4. Position and resize the text, then save it to a pack.

How to make name stickers

Name stickers are just a text layer with a name on a fun background:

  1. Add a text layer with the name.
  2. Choose a bold font and a color that pops.
  3. Place it on a solid color, a photo, or a decorative background.
  4. Save it — make one per name to build a Congratulations or birthday set.
