Sticker Mode

Sticker mode can generate multiple expression stickers at once and automatically split them into individual images.

Basic Usage

Here's how to generate a 3×3 (9 total) Shiba Inu office sticker set:

Step 1: Select Mode and Enter Prompt

  1. Select "Sticker" mode
  2. In the "Prompt Description" input, describe your character:
A fluffy orange Shiba Inu with a round face, cute Q-style

Tip

Focus on describing the character's appearance and style. Context, composition, and expression details will be automatically added to the prompt through the options below.

Step 2: Configure Options

Layout

  • Rows: 3
  • Cols: 3
  • Preview will show "9 stickers total"

Usage Context

  • Select "Boss Replies" (suitable for office scenarios)

Composition - Camera Angle

  • Check "Headshot", "Half-body", "Full-body" (multi-select for more variety)

Composition - Expression Intensity

  • Choose "Natural", "Exaggerated", or "Over-the-top" based on preference

Step 3: Generate Sticker Sheet

  1. Click the "Generate" button
  2. Wait for AI to generate the complete sticker sheet

Step 4: Crop Stickers

  1. Click the generated image to open the lightbox
  2. Click the "Crop" button in the top-right corner

Lightbox Crop Feature

  1. In the crop tool, adjust the background removal settings:
    • Background Color: The system auto-detects the background color. If the detection is incorrect or the background removal looks off, click "Pick Color" to manually sample the correct color from the image
    • Tolerance: Adjust the value to control background removal range
    • Edge Erosion: Choose 0–3px erosion to remove residual edge pixels after background removal (default: 0px, no erosion)
    • White Background Preview: We recommend enabling this to ensure clean sticker edges
  2. Click "Start Processing" and the system will auto-detect and split into individual stickers

Step 5: Download and Edit

After cropping, the right panel displays all split stickers (9 stickers in this example).

Download Options:

  • Download as PDF
  • Download as ZIP archive

Individual Sticker Editing:

In the crop results, click the "Edit" button (pencil icon) on the top-left corner of any sticker to open the background removal tool:

Background Removal Tool

  • Click to remove: Click directly on areas you want to remove
  • Drag to aim: Hold and drag for more precise selection
  • Tolerance: Adjust the value to control the removal range
  • Undo: Click the undo button on the bottom-left to revert the last action

If your sticker has disconnected background areas (e.g., gaps enclosed by the character's arms), use this tool to remove them and convert to transparent background.

Character Extraction:

If you're happy with the character design and want future generations to maintain the same appearance, use the "Extract Character" feature to save it. See Character Library for details.

Sticker Grid Cutter

If you already have grid sticker sheets from other platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Midjourney), you can upload and crop them directly using the "Sticker Grid Cutter" tool without generating through Mediator.

Two Entry Points

The sticker cropping feature has two entry points for different scenarios:

EntryLocationUse Case
Lightbox CropOpen a Mediator-generated image → Lightbox → Click "Crop" buttonCrop sticker sheets generated by Mediator
Grid Cutter ToolEntry card on the Sticker mode main screen, or visit /sticker-grid-cutter directlyUpload externally sourced grid sticker images

Both use the same cropping engine (background removal → edge erosion → region detection → auto splitting). The only difference is the image source: one loads from Mediator history, the other uploads from your device.

Auto Splitting

After generation, Mediator automatically splits the sticker sheet into individual stickers:

  1. AI generates the complete sticker sheet
  2. Client-side image analysis
  3. BFS flood fill algorithm (8-connected) removes background
  4. Apply edge erosion (if configured)
  5. Detect regions and auto crop

Tip

If auto splitting doesn't work well, you can adjust splitting parameters or manually select regions in the lightbox.

Edge Erosion

After background removal, sticker edges may have a ring of faint "granular" residual pixels. Edge Erosion removes these boundary pixels layer by layer:

SettingEffect
0pxNo erosion (default)
1pxLight cleanup, suitable for most cases
2pxModerate erosion, edges noticeably shrink inward
3pxHeavy erosion, for images with severe background residue

Note

Erosion shrinks the overall sticker inward. High values may clip fine details (e.g., hair strands, whiskers). Start with 1px and adjust as needed.

Manual Crop Mode

When auto splitting fails to correctly distinguish stickers (e.g., stickers are too close together, overlapping elements), you can switch to "Manual Split" mode to draw separator lines and define crop regions yourself.

How to Use

  1. In the crop tool, switch "Cropping Mode" from "Auto Detect" to "Manual Split"
  2. Click the "Draw Separator" button to enter drawing mode
  3. Click on the image to set the start point, then press and drag to adjust the end point position, release to complete. The system automatically extends the line to the image edges
  4. Repeat step 3 to draw all needed separator lines
  5. To delete a line, tap to select it and press Delete key or click the "Delete" button in the toolbar
  6. When done, click "Start Processing"

Manual Crop Mode

Tip

The number of separator lines determines the final sticker count. For example, drawing 2 horizontal and 2 vertical lines will divide the image into 3×3 = 9 regions.

Processing Results

After processing completes, the view automatically switches to the "Results" tab, showing all cropped stickers.

Manual Crop Results

In manual mode, the "Tolerance" setting for background removal only affects the background removal quality — it does not affect region detection. Regions are determined solely by the separator lines you draw.
