Chibi is a Japanese term for small or short characters with oversized heads and cute, simplified features.
This style originated in manga and anime and emphasizes adorable, exaggerated expressions. Example prompt: "A chibi-style girl with a surprised expression on transparent background for sticker use." Modern, clean sounds are designed with simple lines and minimal detail.

Processing Stickers Downloaded images may require some changes to meet WhatsApp requirements .
Consider some free tools available online, like Canva or PhotoRoom, for any adjustments to be made. These steps ensure compatibility: Make sure that the image is of appropriate dimensions and, if need be, resize to be exactly 512x512 pixels. Make sure that the background is actually transparent (i.
