How to make a jelly selfie

Last updated: November 14, 2026

Start with a clear, well-lit photo of one person. A front-facing head-and-shoulders selfie makes a good first try.

1. Choose your photo

Open the playground and choose a JPG, PNG or WebP under 10 MB. Your browser downloads the cutout model on first use, which may take a moment on a slow connection.

2. Set up your sticker

Choose Just the head or Whole person. Adjust the white border and squishiness. For a transparent PNG you have already cut out, turn off Remove background. If no portrait is detected, try another photo.

3. Stretch and wobble

Drag a part of the portrait and release it. Use Give it a wobble for a quick bounce. On a supported phone, enable shake and allow motion access, then gently tilt or move your device.

4. Save a still

Save PNG downloads the current pose as a static image with transparency. The colored playground backdrop is not included. Save before refreshing: working photos are not stored between visits.
