  3. Click "Remove Background" — the AI cuts out your subject instantly
  4. Review the cutout and make sure edges are clean
  5. Download as PNG — this is your transparent sticker cutout
  6. Resize and use in your sticker platform of choice

Adding a Sticker Border

Many sticker designs have a white or colored border around the cutout. After downloading your transparent PNG from ClearFast, open it in Canva or Photoshop and add a thick stroke around the subject layer. This gives the classic sticker look.
