How it works

  1. Add a photo or describe a character

    Use a photo of yourself or your pet, or write a short description like “a ginger cat with round glasses”. Pick Chibi 3D, Flat cartoon or Pixel.

  2. Confirm your character

    Huatua draws one character sheet in about 25 seconds. Happy with it? Lock it in — or try again once.

  3. Pick a theme, get 16 stickers

    Choose one of 6 themes with 16 short captions (edit any of them). The first 4 animate for free; unlock the rest for 12 credits.

Huatua is an iMessage sticker maker that turns one photo into 16 animated, captioned stickers sized for iMessage.

How do I use them in iMessage?

Export the iMessage set: every sticker comes as a 408×408 animated GIF. Save them to your phone and send them in Messages like any GIF. Huatua doesn't publish an App Store sticker app for you.

Same character, every reply

All 16 stickers start from the one character you confirmed, so the whole set looks consistent in a conversation.
