Sticker design: die-cut stickers ready to print or share
Stickers for a laptop, a brand giveaway, a planner shop or a WhatsApp pack all start the same way: a simple, bold image with a clean outline. This prompt has your todo.is agent design a set of stickers, add the white die-cut border, keep the backgrounds transparent and export them at the sizes printers and messaging apps need.
The prompt
- Design a set of [NUMBER] stickers about [THEME]. Style: [STYLE]. Colours: [COLOURS]. Include these words on some of them: [TEXT IDEAS]. Generate the art with AI, remove the background, and add a thick white die-cut border (about 3 mm at print size) with a soft outline so each shape cuts cleanly. Add words as real text so they're spelled exactly. Export each sticker as a transparent PNG at 300 DPI for [STICKER SIZE], a printable sticker sheet PDF on [SHEET SIZE], and 512 x 512 WebP versions for a WhatsApp sticker pack.
What to change
- [NUMBER]: E.g. "6". Stickers sell and share best as small themed sets.
- [THEME]: E.g. "cosy cats with coffee", "motivational study quotes", "my bakery's mascot, a happy croissant".
- [STYLE]: E.g. "kawaii cartoon", "retro badge", "watercolour", "bold flat vector look".
- [COLOURS]: E.g. "pastel pink, mint and cream", or "use my attached logo colours".
- [TEXT IDEAS]: E.g. "But first, coffee", "Nap queen", or "no text".
- [STICKER SIZE]: E.g. "3 x 3 in" or "5 cm". The longest side of each sticker.
- [SHEET SIZE]: "A4", "US letter", or "A6 kiss-cut sheet".

How to do it with todo.is
- Copy the prompt and fill in the number, theme, style, colours, text, sticker size and sheet size.
- Paste it into todo.is or send it to your agent; attach a logo or mascot if the stickers are for your brand.
- Download the single PNGs, the sticker sheet and the WhatsApp pack.
- Ask for more stickers in the same style, or a holiday version, whenever you want to expand the set.
Tips for a better result
- Keep shapes simple and chunky. Thin tails, whiskers and spikes are hard to cut and peel.
- For selling, order a test sheet first: vinyl, matte paper and holographic stock show colours differently.
- Ask your agent to place a cut-line layer if you use a cutting machine at home.
- Use the same outline thickness and style across the set so the stickers look like they belong together.
sticker design: FAQ
- What is the difference between die-cut and kiss-cut stickers? Die-cut stickers are cut through the sticker and backing into the shape. Kiss-cut stickers are cut only through the sticker layer, leaving them on a larger backing sheet.
- What file format do sticker printers want? Usually a transparent PNG at 300 DPI or a PDF. Many also want a cut line, so ask your printer for their template.
- Can I make WhatsApp stickers? Yes. Your agent exports 512 x 512 WebP files under 100 KB plus a tray icon. You add them on your phone with a sticker maker app.
- Can I print stickers at home? Yes, on printable vinyl or sticker paper with an inkjet printer, then cut by hand or with a cutting machine. Laminate or use a clear coat if they will be handled a lot.
