Plan nine reaction stickers you will actually use

Give each sticker a different job

Before making stickers from photos, list the replies you send most. A nine-slot plan could cover hello, yes, no, thanks, laughter, surprise, sympathy, celebration and goodbye. These are planning ideas, not a list of guaranteed app presets. Replace any slot you rarely use.

Choose contrast, not nine similar smiles

Think about how each reaction should look at a glance. Approval and celebration need different energy; a sympathetic face should not look amused. Start with a clear portrait you have permission to use, and choose a style with an easy-to-read face.

Keep captions short and natural

If you use captions, aim for one short phrase in the language of your chat. “Thanks!” is easier to scan than a whole sentence. Inside jokes belong in packs for people who understand them; a neutral reply travels better between groups.

Test the pack at chat size

Create your pack in StickerMe for iPhone; website generation is currently paused. Inspect the results at normal message size, including on light and dark chat backgrounds. Can you identify each reaction without reading its caption? If two look alike, note a clearer contrast for your next pack.
