Points to Note
It is a prerequisite to use tools that allow "commercial use" for AI images.
LINE is very strict regarding copyright infringement and violent expressions, so please be aware of the following:
Use AI that allows commercial use (e.g., Canva Pro, DALL·E, etc.)
Imitating anime or famous characters is not allowed
Violence and obscene expressions are strictly prohibited
Prompt Examples for Creating AI Stickers
"A cute Shiba Inu laughing in the style of a LINE sticker"
"Cat character bowing, illustration style"
"Illustration of a panda with a surprised expression for a sticker"
Adding expressions, actions, and styles (cute, mascot-like, etc.) to your prompts will improve accuracy.
Tips for creation
1. Add variety to faces and expressions
Prompts for specific emotions, such as "smiling cat" or "angry panda," are effective.
2. Keep the background transparent or white if possible
Complex backgrounds make stickers difficult to use.
3. Generate in a size close to a square
Recommended size: 370x320 pixels (maximum)
Summary
With AI, we have entered an era where anyone can create LINE stickers in a short amount of time.
By combining free tools, you can share your original stickers with the world at zero cost.
