Plan nine reaction stickers for your everyday chats

Start with nine different replies

Before making stickers from photos, list the replies you actually send. Try hello, agreement, refusal, thanks, laughter, surprise, sympathy, celebration and goodbye. These are suggested roles for your pack, not guaranteed preset names in the app. Change any that you would rarely use.

Make the expressions distinct

A pleased smile and a big celebration should feel different. A sympathetic expression should not look like a joke. Choose a clear portrait you have permission to use, then favour a style that remains easy to recognise when small.

Choose a few natural words

Keep captions brief and use the language of the chat. “Cheers!” may fit a conversation with friends; “Thank you” is less ambiguous in a mixed group. Avoid long sentences and private jokes that would need explaining to the recipient.

Check the pack at message size

Generate your pack in StickerMe for iPhone; website generation is currently paused. Inspect the results at normal chat size on light and dark backgrounds. Can you tell what each means without reading the caption? Note any confusing pair so you can choose a clearer contrast next time.
