Photo to Sticker — AI Cartoon Sticker Maker

Turn any photo or a text prompt into a cute cartoon sticker with bold outlines and vibrant colors. Batch processing, permanent re-hosted CDN links, no API key required.

Two modes

• Photo → Sticker (mode: imageToSticker) — give it image URLs, get a cartoon sticker for each.
• Text → Sticker (mode: textToSticker) — give it text prompts (e.g. "a cute cartoon cat with sunglasses"), get an original sticker for each.

Example — photo to sticker

{
    "mode": "imageToSticker",
    "imageUrls": [
        "https://example.com/cat.jpg",
        "https://example.com/dog.jpg"
    ],
    "tier": "basic"
}

Example — text to sticker

{
    "mode": "textToSticker",
    "prompts": [
        "a cute cartoon cat with sunglasses, bold outline, vibrant colors",
        "smiling sun mascot sticker, kawaii style"
    ],
    "tier": "basic"
}

Output

One dataset record per successfully created sticker:

{
    "success": true,
    "mode": "imageToSticker",
    "tier": "basic",
    "source": "https://example.com/cat.jpg",
    "stickerUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/<id>/records/sticker-basic-....webp"
}

Each sticker is verified (real image bytes) and re-hosted in the run's key-value store, so the link stays valid (the backend's own URLs are temporary). Items that fail are written to FAILED_ITEMS in the key-value store and are not billed.

Tiers

• Basic — recommended; works for everyone.
• Premium / Pro — higher quality, but the backend requires a logged-in account; anonymous use returns a quota error. Use only if you supply a valid account token. For most users, stick with Basic.

Notes on limits & proxy

The free backend tier is rate-limited per IP. For high-volume runs, supply a rotating proxy via customProxyUrl (format host:port:user:pass or http://user:pass@host:port) or the secret env var CUSTOM_PROXY. The Actor rotates the proxy session id per request to get a fresh exit IP. Heavy image traffic is downloaded directly; only the lightweight API calls use the proxy.

Pricing

$0.01 per created sticker. You are only charged for a confirmed, re-hosted sticker — failures are written to FAILED_ITEMS and cost nothing.
