How to Transfer PicsArt Stickers from Android to PC

This guide walks you through moving PicsArt stickers you’ve created or downloaded on your Android phone over to a Windows PC or Mac. You’ll end up with the sticker image files saved locally on your computer, ready to use in other design software, back up, or share. Before starting, make sure your Android phone and computer are on the same Wi-Fi network if you plan to use a wireless transfer method, and have a USB cable handy as a fallback.

What You’ll Need

Your Android phone with the PicsArt app installed
A PC or Mac
A USB cable (for the direct method)
Both devices on the same Wi-Fi network (for wireless methods)
Optional: Google Drive, Dropbox, or another cloud storage app on your phone

Step-by-Step

Method 1: Using a USB Cable (Simplest and Most Reliable)

Locate the sticker files on your Android device. PicsArt stores stickers you create or save in its internal storage. Open your phone’s file manager app (often called “Files” or “My Files”). Navigate to Internal Storage > PicsArt > Stickers. If you don’t see a “Stickers” folder, check PicsArt > Saved or PicsArt > Export – the exact folder name can vary slightly by PicsArt version.
Connect your phone to your PC. Plug the USB cable into your phone and then into your computer. On your phone, a notification will appear saying “USB charging this device.” Tap it and select “File Transfer” or “Transfer files” (on some phones it’s called “MTP” mode).
Open the phone’s storage on your PC. On Windows, open File Explorer and look for your phone under “This PC” or “Devices and drives.” On Mac, you may need to install Android File Transfer (free from the Android website) and open that app.
Copy the sticker files. Navigate to the same PicsArt sticker folder you found earlier. Select the sticker images you want (hold Ctrl on Windows or Cmd on Mac to select multiple), right-click, and choose “Copy.”
Paste to a folder on your PC. Create a new folder on your desktop or in Documents (e.g., “My PicsArt Stickers”), open it, right-click inside, and choose “Paste.” The files are now transferred.

Method 2: Using Google Drive or Another Cloud Service

Upload from your phone. Open the Google Drive app (or Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.) on your Android phone. Tap the “+” button, then “Upload.” Navigate to the PicsArt sticker folder (same path as above) and select the sticker files you want. Tap “Upload.”
Wait for the upload to finish. Make sure your phone stays connected to Wi-Fi and the upload completes. You’ll see a notification when it’s done.
Download on your PC. On your computer, go to drive.google.com (or the equivalent cloud service website) and log in with the same account. Find the uploaded sticker files, right-click them, and select “Download.” They’ll be saved to your Downloads folder (or wherever your browser is set to save files).

Method 3: Using a Wireless File Transfer App (No Cable)

Install a transfer app on both devices. Apps like Send Anywhere, ShareMe (Mi Drop), or Feem work well. Install the app on your Android phone and also install the desktop version on your PC (or use their web interface).
Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network. This is required for these apps to see each other.
Send the files. Open the app on your phone, select the sticker files from the PicsArt folder, and choose “Send.” The app will show a code or automatically detect your PC. On your PC, accept the incoming transfer and choose where to save the files.

Common Mistakes

Looking in the wrong folder. PicsArt has changed its folder structure several times. If you don’t see a “Stickers” folder, search your entire internal storage for “.png” files or check PicsArt > Backgrounds – some users report stickers being saved there in older versions.
USB cable only charges. Many USB cables are “charge-only” and don’t transfer data. Try a different cable if your PC doesn’t detect your phone.
Not switching USB mode. If your phone doesn’t show up as a drive on your PC, you almost certainly haven’t changed the USB mode from “Charging” to “File Transfer.” Always check the notification on your phone after plugging it in.
Uploading to cloud without waiting. If you close the cloud app or turn off Wi-Fi mid-upload, the transfer fails silently. Wait for the confirmation notification.

Tips

Check the file format. PicsArt stickers are usually PNG files with transparent backgrounds. This is great for using them in other design tools. If you see .jpg files, they won’t have transparency.
Organize before transferring. Rename your stickers on the phone before moving them (e.g., “flower-red.png”) so you can find them easily on your PC later.
Use a dedicated folder on your PC. Keep all transferred stickers in one folder. This makes it easy to back up or import them into apps like Photoshop or Canva.
Zip multiple stickers. If you have dozens of stickers, use a file manager on Android to select them all and “Compress” into a .zip file. Transfer that single file, then unzip it on your PC. This is much faster than transferring each file individually.

Troubleshooting

PC doesn’t detect my phone via USB. First, try a different USB port on your PC. Then, on your phone, go to Settings > Developer Options and make sure “USB Debugging” is enabled (if you don’t see Developer Options, go to Settings > About Phone and tap “Build Number” seven times). If that doesn’t help, restart both devices and try again.
I can’t find the PicsArt folder. Use your phone’s file manager search function and type “PicsArt.” If nothing appears, the stickers may be stored in the app’s private data folder, which is not accessible without root access. In that case, open PicsArt, go to “My Stickers,” tap the sticker you want, and use the “Share” or “Export” option to save it to your gallery or Downloads folder.
Cloud upload is very slow. Large sticker files (especially high-resolution PNGs) can take time. Try compressing the stickers into a zip file first, or use a USB cable instead.
Transfer app can’t find my PC. Make sure both devices are on the exact same Wi-Fi network (not a guest network). Also check that your PC’s firewall isn’t blocking the transfer app – temporarily disable it and try again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are PicsArt stickers saved as PNG files?

Yes, most PicsArt stickers are saved as PNG files with a transparent background. However, some downloaded stickers may be JPGs if they were originally uploaded that way. You can check the file extension in your file manager.

Can I transfer stickers from the PicsArt app itself, without using a file manager?

Yes. Open PicsArt, go to “My Stickers,” tap a sticker to open it, then tap the share icon and choose “Save to Gallery” or “Save to Files.” This exports the sticker to your phone’s standard storage, from where you can transfer it using any of the methods above.

Do I need a special app to open PNG stickers on my PC?

No. Windows and Mac both open PNG files natively with their built-in photo viewers. You can also open them in any image editor like Photoshop, GIMP, or even Paint.

Will the sticker quality degrade during transfer?

No. The transfer methods described here copy the original file byte-for-byte. The only way quality would degrade is if you re-save the image in a compressed format (like JPG) after transfer.

Can I transfer stickers from PicsArt to an iPhone?

This guide is for Android to PC. For iPhone, you would use AirDrop to a Mac, or email/cloud services to a Windows PC. The sticker files themselves are the same PNG format.

What if my stickers are part of a PicsArt project, not saved as individual files?

If you created a sticker within a project (like a collage), you need to export it first. Open the project in PicsArt, tap the sticker layer, and use the “Save as Sticker” option. This will save it as a standalone sticker file that you can then transfer.
