How to add an outline to a PNG
To add an outline to a PNG, upload a transparent image and set the outline thickness, color, edge mode, and softness. The generator traces the alpha shape automatically and exports an outlined PNG, so you do not have to redraw the edge by hand.
The classic sticker outline is a thick white or solid-color stroke that follows the subject's shape. This tool reproduces that look in one step and keeps the original artwork inside the result, ready to use as a sticker or cutout.
All outline generation happens locally in your browser, so the PNG stays on your device and nothing is sent to a server.
- Upload one transparent PNG
- Set thickness, color, and softness
- Pick outside-only or centered edge mode
- Export the outlined PNG
Why outlines help transparent assets
Transparent PNGs often need more contrast when they sit on noisy or changing backgrounds. A clean outline around the image is one of the fastest ways to make icons, stickers, and product cutouts read clearly.
Centered edge mode keeps the outline closer to the visible edge instead of pushing it fully outward, which can help on softer alpha shapes. Outside-only mode adds the full stroke beyond the subject for the bold sticker look, so you can match the asset to where it will be used.
