A Viber sticker has to work in Viber’s own pack tray, and the app’s current rules are not the same as Telegram’s 512×512 bot flow. The free Viber sticker maker on CanvaPro turns a photo into a transparent, pack-style cutout you can add to a Viber sticker pack. You do not need an account, and the usual download does not pick up a watermark from the page.
The live form accepts a JPG, PNG, or WEBP up to 5 MB. Complete the security check and click Make Viber Sticker. The job is queued and often finishes in about a minute. Preview the cutout, then download it. This page prepares a transparent sticker-style image. It does not log in to Viber or publish the pack for you, and it does not promise a 512×512 Telegram export.
Viber’s current pack rules
On Viber, you create a pack inside the app — from a chat, open Stickers or Expressions, then Create Stickers, depending on your device. Official help currently asks you to upload each sticker as a 490×490 file. If the image is a different size, Viber says it will be resized automatically. Packs can hold from 1 to 24 stickers, and you can keep up to 20 packs. Bright images without a busy background are recommended, and stickers are shown in square proportions.
After you download the CanvaPro cutout, open it on your computer or phone and, if needed, place it on a 490×490 transparent canvas before you upload it to Viber. That last resize is a platform step, not something this form advertises as a guaranteed export size. The goal is a clean, square, transparent sticker that still reads when Viber scales it.
This is not a Snapchat camera-roll overlay, and it is not a Telegram @Stickers hand-off. If you specifically need a 512×512 PNG for the Telegram bot, use the Telegram sticker maker instead, then come back here for Viber packs.
Telegram’s 512×512 bot flow is different; that walkthrough is how to make a Telegram sticker from a photo.
How to make and add a Viber sticker, step by step
- Upload a clear JPG, PNG, or WEBP of 5 MB or less, with one obvious subject and as simple a background as you can manage.
- Complete the security check and click Make Viber Sticker once. Leave the tab open while the job sits in the queue, usually about a minute.
- Preview the transparent cutout and download it if the silhouette is clean. If your pack tool wants 490×490, fit the cutout to that square before you upload.
- In Viber, create or open a sticker pack and add the file, following the app’s current Create Stickers flow. Keep the original photo as your master.
Follow Viber’s current pack size and count, and if a sticker looks muddy, try the Viber sticker tool again from a tighter, sharper photo.
Public packs and rights
Viber’s help notes that custom packs you make public are offered under a royalty-free, perpetual license, and that other people can use and forward those stickers. Packs that go unused for a long time can also be removed. Read the current terms before you publish. Only include faces and artwork you have the right to share in that way, and get consent from anyone who appears in a sticker.
A private pack is a better choice when the likeness is only meant for a small group. Either way, a generated cutout of a person is still their likeness.
If the sticker does not read in chat
Crop tighter, use a brighter subject, and stay under 5 MB. Tiny typography and busy collages disappear at tray size. Hair against a cluttered backdrop can leave a ragged edge that looks worse after Viber resizes the file. Check the download on a phone, not only on a large monitor, and test it in a real Viber chat on light and dark themes if you can.
Uploads travel over HTTPS. Files are processed to complete your request and are not sold.
A 512×512 WhatsApp asset is a separate file, made with the WhatsApp sticker maker if you need the same subject in both apps.
After you add it to a pack
Send the sticker to yourself or to a friend and look at it at the size it actually appears. If Viber’s automatic resize cropped a limb or a tail, rebuild the 490×490 canvas with more margin and upload again. Keep a folder of pack-ready squares, named in order, so you can replace a single slot without rebuilding the whole set. Remember the current cap of 24 stickers in a pack and 20 packs on an account, and confirm those limits in Viber if they change.
When you are making a set, keep the same framing and a similar amount of padding so the tray looks even. A waving portrait next to a tiny distant figure will feel inconsistent even if both files are technically square.
If the same cutout also needs to live in WhatsApp, follow the steps to make a WhatsApp sticker from a photo as a separate file.
A short checklist
- Upload a bright, simple JPG, PNG, or WEBP under 5 MB.
- Click Make Viber Sticker once and wait about a minute for the transparent cutout.
- Fit the file to Viber’s current 490×490 pack guideline if needed, then add it in the app’s Create Stickers flow.
- Get consent for any face, and read Viber’s terms before you make a pack public.
One pack-ready cutout that you have actually sent in Viber is more useful than a pile of untested downloads. Keep the source photo with the 490×490 file so you can remake a sticker if the pack is later resized or removed.
When you are ready, start with one clear subject, generate a single Viber cutout, and only then open the app to place it in a pack.
