How to add these stickers to WhatsApp

Each free pack is a ZIP of original 512×512 WebP images. WhatsApp’s own app is where a pack becomes a sticker pack; this page explains the usual routes, and tells you to follow WhatsApp’s current help if your version looks different. Hello Packs is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta.

1. Download a pack

Open any pack — for example Swahili phrases — and download the ZIP. Unzip it on your phone or computer. You will see one WebP file per sticker, and a small tray icon. The files are free for personal chats; please don’t resell them.

2. Get them into WhatsApp

WhatsApp decides how stickers are added, and that path has changed as the app has gained a built-in sticker maker. Use whichever of these your current app actually offers, and check WhatsApp’s own help if a menu name does not match:

If your WhatsApp has a sticker creator, use it to import the WebP images as a new pack. Give the pack a name, and use the tray icon from the ZIP as the pack icon if the app asks for one.
You can also use a third-party sticker app that adds packs to WhatsApp through WhatsApp’s published sticker interface. Only install an app you trust, and only import these original files — not other people’s copyrighted characters.
To draw or crop a new sticker yourself, use the free in-browser Hello Packs maker. It exports a 512×512 WebP on your device; nothing is uploaded.

3. Sizes this site designs to

The packs and the maker on this site are built to the figures WhatsApp has published for sticker images: a 512×512 WebP, a transparent background, a static file kept under 100 KB, and a 96×96 tray icon. Animated stickers, where WhatsApp allows them, have a higher published size limit; our free packs are static. If WhatsApp updates those figures, follow their current documentation rather than this paragraph.

A pack drawn for you

A custom pack of 10 stickers plus a tray icon is $9 (KSh 1,150), one-off, delivered by email. Payment is by card via Gumroad, on the pricing page. Read stickers for a business if you want a pack for a shop, a church or a team.
