Exposure: Collage & Scrapbook
Feature

Turn any photo into a reusable sticker

Exposure's sticker maker lets you trace and cut the subject out of any photo, saving it as a reusable element. Use the cut-outs across carousels, photo books and stories — the same way you'd reuse a designed graphic, but made from your own photos.

Why a sticker maker beats sticker packs

Default sticker packs make every Instagram story look the same. Custom cut-outs from your own photos turn your posts into something only you could make — your pet, your travel souvenirs, your morning coffee — placed onto any layout without ever leaving the app.

Cutting out is manual by design: you trace around the subject yourself, which takes a few extra seconds but gives you full control over the edge — no automatic algorithm guessing where hair or reflections end. If you’d rather skip tracing, your phone already has a built-in tool for this: long-press a subject in the iOS or Android gallery to lift it out, then copy and paste it directly onto your Exposure layout — pasting a copied cutout onto the canvas is a Suite feature.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the subject cutout?
Since you trace the outline yourself, accuracy comes down to how carefully you follow the edge — take it slow around detailed areas like hair or fingers for the cleanest result.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Cutting out a sticker happens entirely in the app, so it works without internet and your photos never leave your phone for this step.
Can I share stickers with other users?
Stickers are saved locally to your library. You can export them as PNG files with transparent backgrounds and share them however you like.
Can I use my phone's built-in photo cutout instead of tracing?
Yes — iOS and Android both let you long-press a subject in your gallery to lift it out automatically. Copy that and paste it straight onto your Exposure layout; pasting a copied cutout onto the canvas is a Suite feature.
