OpenAI has introduced a new ChatGPT sticker feature that allows users to create custom stickers and use them in popular messaging platforms including WhatsApp and iMessage, bringing AI-generated artwork directly into everyday conversations.
The feature, launched on August 24, lets users create personalised stickers within ChatGPT rather than relying on separate sticker-making applications. Users can turn photos or ideas into shareable sticker designs and build collections for use in their chats.
From ChatGPT to Messaging Apps
Previously, users who generated sticker-style images with ChatGPT generally had to save the image, convert or crop it into a suitable format and then manually import it into their messaging application.
The new feature is designed to simplify that process by allowing users to create stickers directly through ChatGPT and share them through supported messaging services.
The move follows earlier reports that OpenAI was developing a way to export AI-generated stickers directly to WhatsApp, potentially reducing the number of steps required to move creations from ChatGPT into conversations.
Personalised Stickers With AI
The feature gives users a new way to transform personal photos, characters, expressions and creative ideas into customised digital stickers.
Instead of searching through existing sticker libraries, users can generate designs tailored to a particular conversation or occasion — from humorous reactions to personalised images featuring friends and family.
The development also adds another everyday use case for generative AI, moving it beyond writing and image creation into casual digital communication.
WhatsApp and iMessage Get an AI Boost
WhatsApp and iMessage already offer extensive sticker capabilities, but ChatGPT’s integration could make creating highly personalised stickers considerably easier.
For WhatsApp users, the feature could prove especially useful for creating themed sticker collections without depending on third-party sticker-making tools. iMessage users can similarly use AI-generated designs to add a more personalised touch to conversations.
The launch comes as AI companies increasingly look for ways to integrate generative tools into routine consumer activities rather than keeping them confined to standalone AI applications.
ChatGPT Expands Beyond Text
The sticker feature represents another step in ChatGPT’s evolution from a text-based assistant into a broader creative platform.
By connecting AI-generated content with messaging, OpenAI is making the technology more immediately shareable and useful in everyday social communication.
For millions of messaging users, the appeal is simple: describe an idea, create a sticker and share it in a chat — without leaving the AI workflow to build it elsewhere.
