WEBP format and at a resolution of 512 x 512 pixels.

That, unfortunately, is a problem if you want to use your mobile photos to create stickers because the images are usually in JPEG at a much larger size than WhatsApp supports.

Fortunately, an application called Sticker Maker allows you to create WhatsApp stickers from your photos.

Its operation is effortless, and the result is, at best, fun.
