1. Head to Our Website
   Go to StickerGator.com and click on, ONLINE DESIGN STUDIO in the menu. This loads our easy Sticker Builder right on the page.
2. Uploading Your Design
   • Upload your main image, logo, or graphic (PDF, PNG, JPG, SVG—transparent backgrounds work best for clean results). If you need help removing the background, just use the background removal tool when you first upload your deisgn. 
   • Drag and drop it onto the canvas, or click the upload button.
   • Our tool instantly traces the outline of your design with perfect cut lines—no need to draw paths yourself!
3. Add More Layers for Extra Flair
   Build up your sticker with more elements: 
   • Text — Click to add, type your message, pick a font, adjust size, color, rotation, and position.
   • Extra images or logos — Upload more graphics to layer on top or beside your main design.
   • QR code — Generate one instantly (link it to your site, socials, menu, etc.).
   • Drag layers to rearrange them. The cut line automatically updates to wrap around everything perfectly.
4. Choose Your Cut Style & Padding
   • Pick the shape:
     • Contour — Follows your exact design outline (most popular for custom shapes).  Toggle between, Rounded, Precise and Balanced, to see how your sticker is traced. Pick Precise / Sharp for the tightest fit.  
     • Circle — Forces a perfect round sticker.
     • Square/Rectangle — Clean straight-edged cut.
   • Adjust the outline padding:
     • Precise (tight to the edge)
     • Balanced (our recommended default—looks great)
     • Relaxed (extra space around the design)
     • Use the slider for fine tweaks if needed.
5. Pick Your Background
   • White — Classic die-cut look (just your design gets printed and cut out). We print on white vinyl. You can do a bleed design where the print color extends all the way to the edge. 
   • Solid color — Choose from the color picker or enter a hex code.
   • Gradient — Add a cool fade effect if you want some extra style.

   • Resize your sticker by typing exact dimensions (in inches).
   • Enter how many you want—the price updates live!
   • We offer great volume discounts automatically (bigger orders save more—check the preview for your exact pricing per sticker).
7. Preview & Make It Perfect
   • Check the live preview to check alignment, text readability, colors, and cut lines. The tool will update you on the image quality, Green = Great quality,  Orange= Okay Quality, good for most uses. Red = Bad Quality, may show some pixelation
