Kawaii stickers for your photos

Kawaii stickers are the soft, round, pastel kind: cat ears, blush, hearts, sparkles and little animals with tiny faces. To put them on a selfie, open Tada, tap Add effects and pick the Classic pack; the stickers are placed on you in about a second and keep moving in the Live Photo you save.

What makes a sticker kawaii

Kawaii is Japanese for cute. A kawaii sticker usually has most of these:

• Round, simple shapes with no sharp corners.
• Pastel colors: pink, mint, lavender, butter yellow.
• Rosy blush, and tiny faces on almost anything, even food.
• Small animals: cats, bunnies, bears, frogs.
• Soft extras around the subject: hearts, stars and sparkles.

Kawaii without stickers

Pocket Pals, one of Tada’s AI looks, draws a family of three small original creatures made from what’s in your photo, like coffee-bean critters next to a drink, in a flat kawaii cartoon style, and they move. It uses 1 AI tada, takes about a minute, and the photo is sent to Tada’s AI partners (see privacy).
