Once the sticker is generated, you can right click and download it to be used on WhatsApp or other social media platforms.
If you don't want to upload your own photos for the Ghibli-style stickers, you can write a prompt asking for a “Ghibli-style sticker set with transparent backgrounds” as well.

If you want to describe a particular sticker you would want in Ghibli-style, you can also issue a verbal prompt that can be converted into an image. For example, “Create a Ghibli-style sticker of a boy climbing a tree.”

While the AI image trend has made Studio Ghibli famous on social media, the studio's animation style was founded in 1985 by animators and directors Miyazaki Hayao and Takahata Isao, along with producer Suzuki Toshio.

The animators are well-known for their hand-drawn animation style in feature films such as Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro, and others.
