You can sell your stickers after they pass the review.

Rejected stickers cannot be edited and resubmitted for review via the app. Please use LINE Creators Market to resubmit rejected stickers.
You can log in to Creators Market and LINE Sticker Maker with the same LINE account.
When doing so, stickers that you've already submitted for review will be synced automatically. Stickers that are still being edited won't be synced.
The app is intended for individual use. You can still use the app if your business type is already set to "Corporate." However, you will not be able to edit your account info via the app.

Creating Stickers on Your Phone

LINE Sticker Maker is an official LINE app that lets you easily create your own LINE stickers for free.
• Write messages on your photos and turn them into stickers.
• Use filters to transform your photos and illustrations however you like.
• Use the canvas to create your own illustrations.

Create Your Stickers

Start Creating

Tap the "+" button to create a new sticker.
Choose 1 of 3 Methods

Choose between the canvas, a photo on your device, or your device's camera.
Draw Your Sticker

Make sure to color in the sticker as this can affect your review.
Choose a Photo

Choose any photo to turn into a sticker and keep only the important parts using the Auto-Trim, Trace, Frame, Shape, and Eraser tools. You can also skip the trimming step altogether.

Select a Shape

Select from a number of shapes to trim your photo in a snap.
Trimming

Pick out any part of a photo to turn into a sticker by outlining it completely with your finger. You can tweak your selection freely while shrinking, enlarging, and rotating the resulting image.
Use the Eraser

Remove parts of your photo you don't want with the Eraser tool. You can adjust the size of the eraser and shrink and enlarge your photo as you go.
Fun Frames

Add cute, decorative frames to your sticker creations. You can download a range of frames to use to your heart's content.

Using the Auto-Trim Tool

The Auto-Trim tool lets you easily cut around a shape by drawing a loose line around it. You can also use the tool to bring back any parts you want to keep or trim away any leftovers.
Adjust Size and Angle

Tweak your images' size and angle.
Add Text

Add text to your images using a wide range of fonts. You can download new fonts from an in-app list.
Add Sketches

Use the brush tool to freely draw over your photos.

Creation Tips

All stickers have to pass our internal review process before they can be sold on the Sticker Shop. Read up on the Sticker Review Guidelines before getting started.
It should take about two days to complete the review. Submit your stickers as early as possible in the event that you need to resubmit your stickers after a rejection.
To allow only a select number of people see your stickers, select "Hide in LINE STORE/Sticker Shop" under Privacy Setting before releasing your stickers.
When selling your stickers, keep the number of sale regions to a minimum. The more regions you release to, the more conditions your stickers have to meet to pass review.
