AI Emoji & Sticker Maker examples
Made on this page with the presets below on Nano Banana 2, unedited.
Custom emoji · Nano Banana 2
A custom emoji in the glossy round yellow emoji style: a face wearing tiny sunglasses and sipping an iced coffee through a straw, smug expression, simple shapes, centered, plain white background.
02 · What you can do
Create your own emoji, stickers and caricatures
Each of these is a one-tap preset in the maker above. Tap it, change the subject, and generate. The photo presets need Image to Image and an uploaded picture.
Emoji maker
A new emoji for a feeling the keyboard doesn’t have. Keep it to one face or object and simple shapes so it reads at tiny sizes.
Discord emoji maker
Server emotes with thick outlines and big expressions. Generate in Square, cut out the background and scale it down to the size Discord asks for.
Sticker maker online
Kawaii animals, food and plants with a white die-cut border, the look of a printed vinyl sticker.
Sticker packs for WhatsApp and Telegram
One character, many moods on one sheet. Crop each sticker out to build a pack in your messaging app. GPT Image keeps the character consistent best.
Text and reaction stickers
One word or a short phrase in bubble letters. Ideogram 3 Turbo spells short words cleanly.
Make an emoji from a photo
Upload a clear selfie in Image to Image and get an emoji version of yourself, with your hair, glasses and smile.
Caricature maker
The boardwalk caricature, from a photo. A big head, a playful exaggeration and a prop that says something about the person. Kind, not cruel.
Pet stickers
Your dog or cat as a sticker, keeping the markings that make them yours. Use Image to Image with a clear photo.

04 · Why AI
An AI emoji creator instead of a parts kit
Any emoji you can describe
Emoji and avatar apps let you combine preset eyes, mouths and hats. Here you describe the whole thing, so a frog in a cowboy hat crying with joy is one sentence.
From a real photo
Classic caricature apps stretch and warp a photo. The models here redraw the face as an emoji or caricature while keeping the hair, glasses and smile that make it recognizable.
Vector when you print
For vinyl stickers, laptop decals and cutting machines, Recraft v3 SVG gives you an SVG that scales cleanly, instead of a small pixel image.

08 · FAQ
AI Emoji & Sticker Maker FAQ
What is an AI emoji and sticker maker?
A tool that draws custom emoji, stickers and caricatures from a description or a photo. You describe what you want, or upload a picture, and an image model creates it in a sticker or emoji style you can download.
Is the AI Emoji & Sticker Maker free?
New accounts get 5 free credits, and Nano Banana 2 Lite runs from 1 credit per image, so you can try it without paying. After that it runs on credits; the button shows the price before you run, and a failed run costs nothing.
Do the stickers have a transparent background?
No. They come back as PNG images on the plain background you ask for. Ask for a white or light grey background and a thick outline, then remove it in your sticker app or a background remover before uploading.
Can I make an emoji from my photo?
Yes. Switch to Image to Image, upload a clear, well-lit selfie and use the Emoji from photo preset. Nano Banana 2 keeps your hair, glasses and expression best.
Can I use them on Discord, WhatsApp or Telegram?
Yes. Download the image, cut out the background, and resize it to the size and file type each app asks for, then add it as a server emoji or to a sticker pack.
Can I print the stickers?
Yes. For printing and cutting machines, use Recraft v3 SVG to get a vector SVG that scales without blurring. PNGs from the other models work for small stickers.
How do I make a caricature?
Switch to Image to Image, upload a photo of yourself or someone who has agreed, and use the Caricature preset. Say what to exaggerate gently and add a prop or hobby.
What isn’t allowed?
Sexual content, hateful or bullying stickers, and caricatures of celebrities, public figures or anyone who hasn’t agreed are not allowed. Only upload photos you have permission to use.
