Pic2Emoji

Pic2Emoji turns one photo into a custom set of 8 emoji stickers. Upload a picture of yourself, a friend or a pet, and the AI redraws it as a sticker pack with different expressions. The stickers are an original redraw in emoji style rather than an exact copy of the photo, and each file is 512 by 512 pixels, ready for chat apps.

The free tier lets you make up to 5 static sets per day without creating an account, which is enough to try the style before paying. A full static pack costs $2.99 and an animated pack costs $5.99, both as one-time purchases with no subscription. A sample pack is available so you can see the output quality first.

Pic2Emoji is clear about how it works. Image generation is handled by its rendering partner Mojime, which uses OpenAI's GPT Image model, and payments run through a merchant of record. Uploaded photos are sent over HTTPS, deleted by a daily sweep once they are more than 24 hours old, and not used for model training or sold. You must confirm you have the right to use the photo.

The site is also honest about compatibility. Discord and Slack need a smaller 128 pixel copy, iMessage cannot import the stickers and Telegram does not accept the animated version. Refunds are offered within 7 days, including for failed generation or double charges.
