Can You Make LINE Stickers with AI Illustration? [2026 Guide]
"Can I actually make LINE stickers with AI illustration?" "And if I can, is it okay to sell them?" β now that AI can generate artwork on demand, more and more people are asking exactly this. This article lays out the whole picture, from creating AI illustration LINE stickers to actually selling them. Each step links out to a deeper guide, so jump into whichever part you're curious about.
Short answer first. Yes, you can make LINE stickers with AI illustration β and yes, you can sell them too. As of July 2026, we haven't found any rule that bans sales outright just because AI was used to make them. The process is four steps: "create art β edit β export β submit." Three things matter most: spec compliance, rights, and character consistency.
Can You Make LINE Stickers with AI Illustration? (The Big Picture)
Anyone can submit and sell LINE stickers by registering with LINE Creators Market. There's no separate track for hand-drawn versus AI-made art. The submission form does have a field asking whether you used AI, and if you disclose it, the purchase page shows an AI-disclosure label β but that label doesn't block a sale. In fact, the LINE STORE already has plenty of stickers selling with that AI-disclosure label attached (as of July 2026).
So the real question isn't "can I make one" β it's "how do I make one well." From here, we'll run through the essentials in order: how to make them, rights, character consistency, earnings, and choosing a tool.
The Basic Steps
Broadly speaking, there are four things to do.
- Create the art: generate your character illustration with AI
- Edit: adjust expressions and captions, and fit everything to LINE's spec (370x320px transparent PNG, 10px margins, etc.)
- Export: prepare a set of 8, 16, 24, 32, or 40 sticker images, plus a main image (240x240px) and a tab image (96x74px)
- Submit: register with LINE Creators Market and send it in for review
The spec is fussier than it looks β dimensions have to be even numbers, for one β and quite a few people trip up right here. For the full list of specs and a step-by-step walkthrough, see our complete guide to making AI LINE stickers.
Rights and Review: What to Watch For
The most common reason AI-illustrated stickers get stuck in review is the same one that trips up hand-drawn stickers too: rights issues. Three things to keep in mind.
- Disclose AI use honestly: it's far riskier if it comes out later that you hid it
- Don't include anything that evokes someone else's rights: avoid designs that bring to mind famous characters, celebrities, or company logos
- Keep a record of how you made it: items made with AI may be asked to show the prompts or instructions used during production

Keeping the Same Character Consistent
The single biggest challenge when making stickers with AI illustration is whether all 40 actually read as the same character once they're lined up. Generate them one at a time and facial features or coloring tend to drift slightly with every image. The basic fix: lock in one reference image first, then generate every expression and pose variation off that same reference.

What You Can Earn, and How to Get Started
Once a LINE sticker set passes review, you earn a share of the revenue it generates. Getting started is easy, but only a fraction of sets become big sellers β theme choice and consistency are what actually move the needle. A realistic starting point is a set the people around you would actually want to use (family, pets, everyday greetings among friends), then expand based on how it lands.

Choosing the Right Tool
Tools for making AI illustration LINE stickers fall into roughly three types. It's less about which one is "best" and more about matching the tool to what you're trying to do.
- General-purpose AI image generators: maximum creative freedom, but you generate one image at a time and handle all the spec-fitting yourself
- Design tools: good for people who want to assemble their own set from templates and assets. See our guide to making LINE stickers with Canva for that workflow
- Purpose-built sticker tools: their strength is generating a whole set at once and auto-formatting everything to LINE's spec

The Easiest Route: Starting From a Single Photo
Here's the thing β you don't actually have to generate illustration from scratch. You can start from a single photo you already have. Stampo is a LINE-sticker-specific service: upload a photo of yourself or your pet, and AI turns it into a chibi character and generates a full set of 40 stickers with captions (plus 8 spares) in one batch.
- No prompting needed β just tell the AI the vibe you're going for in plain conversation
- Edit captions and expressions sticker by sticker, right in your browser
- Auto-exports a submission-ready ZIP, already formatted to LINE's spec
- $8.99 per set. A free preview lets you check the result before you pay anything
- Works entirely from your phone's browser. You own the copyright to the stickers you make (see our Terms of Service)
