How To Convert Camera Roll Images Into Stickers On Instagram

Instagram allows you to add a personal touch to your Stories and Reels by creating custom stickers from your own photos. Using the built-in "Cutouts" feature, you can easily transform any photo into a fun sticker. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Requirements:

• Ensure you have the latest version of the Instagram app installed.
• The "Cutouts" feature is being gradually rolled out, so if you don’t see it yet, don’t worry—it will be available soon.

Steps to Create Custom Stickers:

1. Open Instagram: Launch the Instagram app and start creating a new Story or Reel. You can do this by swiping right from the home screen or tapping the camera icon in the top left corner.

2. Access the Sticker Tray: Tap the sticker icon (a square smiley face with a corner peeled up) at the top of your screen to open the sticker tray.

3. Find the "Cutouts" Option: Look for the "Cutouts" option in the sticker tray. It might appear at the top or alongside other sticker options. If it’s not there yet, keep your app updated and check back later.

4. Select a Photo: Choose a photo from your camera roll that you want to turn into a sticker. Photos with clear, well-defined subjects work best for this feature.
tap "Use sticker" to add it to your Story or Reel.

6. Manual Selection: If the automatic selection isn’t perfect, tap "Select manually" at the bottom left corner. You can then use your finger to trace around the exact object you want to turn into a sticker.

7. Finalise Your Sticker: Once you’re happy with the selection, tap "Done". Your custom sticker is now ready to use in your Story or Reel.

By following these steps, you can create unique, personalised stickers that make your Instagram content more engaging and fun. Keep experimenting with different photos to see what works best!
