Creating unique stickers on your phone is an essential part of the texting experience. On iOS 16, Apple introduced the Visual Look Up tool for its native Photos app to make the sticker-making process more seamless. Android OEMs like Samsung soon followed the trend, equipping their custom gallery apps with the tool. Interestingly, Google has only just introduced this feature on its Photos app. However, there is one small catch – it is only available on the iOS version of the app. Let’s take a quick look at how you can create a cutout sticker on Google Photos.

How do cutouts work on Google Photos?
The cutout sticker tool on Google Photos works exactly the same as its Apple counterpart. Long-pressing a subject or object in an image separates it from the background. This process takes no more than a couple of seconds. Once the subject is isolated, you can choose to copy it to the clipboard or directly share it as a sticker.
While Android users don’t have this feature yet, they can turn to third-party tools for the task. Online tools like Fotor and Remove.bg can not only let you create a cutout of the subject, but also offer the option to change its background. If you wish to create a sticker out of the subject, you don’t need to add another background.

Step 1: Launch the Google Photos app on your iPhone.
Step 2: Open an image with a clear subject.
Step 3: Long-press the subject in the image.
Step 4: The app will create a cutout of the subject. You can choose to copy it to the clipboard or share it as a sticker via a messaging app.
