Build Your Own AI Sticker Maker: Keyword in, WebP out 🎨

#nextjs #tailwindcss

I Built a Sticker Generator That Creates WebP Stickers from Keywords (with AI)

As a developer who loves building small AI-powered tools, I recently launched a fun project — a sticker generator that takes a simple text prompt and turns it into a WebP sticker in seconds.

No drawing skills required. Just type a keyword and get a transparent AI-generated sticker.

🧠 What It Does

The tool is super simple — and that’s the point.

You enter a prompt like:
- cute cat
- cyberpunk robot
- pixel art game controller
It sends the prompt to an AI image generation model (e.g., SDXL or DALL·E).
It processes the result and returns a WebP image with a transparent background, downloadable right away.

No login. No setup. Just open the page and start creating.

🚀 Why I Built It

I wanted a fast way to generate social-media-friendly assets like stickers.
I’m experimenting with WebP for lightweight delivery and transparent assets.
I love tools that go from "input → output" with no complexity.

Also, I wanted to explore:

AI image generation workflows
Prompt-engineering for illustrations
Exporting transparent WebP in a browser

🛠 Tech Stack

Frontend: Next.js + Tailwind CSS
AI backend: (can be Stable Diffusion API / Replicate / custom inference server)
Export: WebP with transparent background
Hosting: Vercel (or your own choice)

I focused on making the UX as minimal as possible — input box, preview area, download button.
