Custom stickers of your own dog or cat

kismetPaws draws sixteen animated stickers from one photo of your pet, from zoomies to side-eye. Each one comes as a GIF you can send in any chat, a WebP with soft see-through edges, and a short MP4. Four are free to try; the full set comes with every $34.99 pet.

The sixteen moods

Party Mode · Love Bug · Shook · Sleepy Head · Wait What? · Side-Eye · Treat Alert · Main Character · Snack Time? · Zoomies · Cuddle Me · Wasn't Me · Sulking · Shy Peek · Up to Something · Not Impressed

Every pet gets the same sixteen, drawn from their own photo: their face, their colours, their markings. Cats and dogs are drawn a little differently, each in the style that suits them.

How you send them

  1. On a phone: tap a sticker, then Save or send. Your phone's share sheet opens with the GIF, so you can send it straight into WhatsApp, Messages, Telegram or any other chat.
  2. On a computer: download all sixteen at once as a ZIP, or click one to save just that one.
  3. Which file: the GIF works in every chat; the WebP keeps soft see-through edges for apps that support it; the MP4 is for video apps.

They arrive as files you keep, not as an app. Send them anywhere: they are yours.

What we have learned from drawing them

The photo of Rufus, a friend's dog, his stickers were drawn from

Close beats clever

A single pet, face clearly visible, in daylight, filling most of the photo, gives the best likeness. Busy group shots and blurry photos make it harder; a white coat stays white and a curly coat keeps its curls.

Every sticker is checked before you see it

Each cut-out is checked for a clipped edge or a stray piece of background. One that fails is cut again or redrawn, never shown. That is why a set can take a little extra care.

Example: Pepper the cat as a Sleepy Head stickerexample

Ten to thirty minutes

A full set is usually ready within 10 to 30 minutes. You can close the page: we e-mail you. Each sticker is 384 pixels square and loops in under three seconds.

Questions people ask

Do they work in WhatsApp and iMessage?

Yes, as GIFs: save or share one from your phone and send it in any chat. They are files you keep, not an installed sticker pack.

Can I try them before paying?

Yes. Upload a photo on the stickers site and see four free. Previews are watermarked; your paid set isn't.

Can I get stickers of two pets?

Each pet gets its own sixteen. A second pet is $16.99, with its own story book and tale.

What photo should I use?

One pet, face visible, in daylight, not blurred. If your pet looks small in the photo, a closer one makes the stickers look more like them.

Can I print them?

Yes. The story site also gives you a sticker sheet as a PNG and a PDF in A4 or Letter.
