With Dhanteras being celebrated today and Diwali falling on November 8, 2026, a step-by-step guide explains how to create personalised Diwali WhatsApp stickers using your own photos with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Meta AI, which can also be accessed through WhatsApp. According to the article, sending Diwali wishes on WhatsApp is common, but users can make festive greetings more personal by turning pictures into customised stickers featuring diyas, sweets, festive outfits and Diwali messages instead of forwarding the same wishes. No design skills are required: users upload a photo, enter a prompt and let the AI generate different sticker designs, then add them to WhatsApp and share them with friends and family. The guide's steps are to open an AI image-generation tool such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini or Meta AI; upload a clear photo of yourself and enter a prompt asking the AI to turn it into a set of Diwali stickers; download the generated designs and ask the chatbot to change colours, expressions or text for more variations; and crop each sticker individually using your phone. The article includes ready-to-use prompts, including one requesting 8 cute cartoon-style stickers with different expressions and Diwali elements such as lanterns, diyas, fireworks and gift boxes, and another requesting a 3D chibi-style Diwali sticker collection with different poses, festive clothes and greetings.
