Stickers · for sticker book fans who trade with friends
SealPop is a digital sticker book for people who love puffy stickers and want to make them from their own photos. Pick a photo and the app cuts the subject out on your phone, adds a white die-cut border, and swells it into a glossy, holo or matte sticker that clicks onto a page when you drop it. Pages take stickers wherever you drag them, and holding one flips it over to show when it was made and where it came from. With a friend in front of you, you can each trade one sticker by scanning a QR code, with no chat and no way to match with strangers.
Pick a photo and SealPop lifts the subject off its background on your phone, then adds the white border a die-cut sticker has. The cutout swells into a domed, glossy sticker, and a swipe switches it to holo or matte. Drag it onto a page and let go: it squashes, springs back and clicks into place with a haptic tap, a short sound and a glint of light.
Stickers go anywhere on a page. Drag them, turn them, make them bigger or smaller, or peel one off and put it somewhere else. Swipe to turn pages and add a fresh one when a page fills up. Press and hold a sticker to flip it over and read its back: the day it was made, its finish, and whether you made it or traded for it.
Sitting with a friend, one of you shows a QR code and the other scans it, or types the six-digit code under it. You each put up one sticker, both phones show both offers, and the swap happens only when both of you tap Confirm. The new sticker clicks into your book with your friend's name on its back, and the one you gave leaves yours.
A sticker book is a simple object: pages you can stick to and peel from, and a pile of stickers that get moved around for years. Puffy stickers, the domed kind with a shiny top that catches the light, are usually the ones people hold back for trading. The limit has always been the shop shelf. You collect what someone else printed, and when a sheet sells out, that design is out of reach.
SealPop starts from the pictures you already have. The cat asleep on the sofa, a melon soda from Saturday, the keychain from the claw machine, one tulip from the park. Any of them can become a sticker with a border and a dome, and it is yours in a way a printed sheet never is, because nobody else took that photo.
Making stickers and filling pages needs no account and no connection. The cutout, the border and the shine are all worked out on the device, so nothing is sent anywhere while you make a sticker. Sticker images are kept as files on your phone, and the book remembers where each one sits, at what angle and at what size.
The first time you open SealPop, a demo book is already there with a few sample stickers on its first page, so you can see what a finished page looks like before you choose a photo. The samples are original drawings made for the app, not characters from a show or a brand.
There is no copy of your book on a server. That keeps your photos private, and it also means the book lives on the phone you made it on.
Trading is the one part that goes online, and the first time you trade, SealPop asks you to sign in with Google or Apple. It is also the only time a photo leaves your phone. The single sticker you offer is uploaded so your friend can see it, and only the two people in that trade can open it.
One person starts a trade and gets a QR code with a six-digit code under it. The other scans it or types the code in. Codes are short-lived, so an old one cannot be used later. Each of you picks a sticker and both offers appear on both screens. If either person changes their sticker, the other side's confirmation is cleared, so nobody can switch at the last second. When both sides confirm, the stickers change hands.
Traded sticker images are deleted from the server after 30 days; the one you received is already saved on your phone by then. A sticker that has been reported is kept until the report is handled. If you get something you did not want, report it from the trade and block that person, and a blocked account cannot join your trades again. Deleting your account removes your trade history and uploaded images from the server, while your sticker book stays on your phone.
No public feed, no browsing other people's books, no matching with strangers. A trade only starts from a code that someone shows you. There is no chat and no text box anywhere in a trade, so the only thing two people send each other is one sticker each.
No built-in characters. Every sample sticker is original art, and the stickers you make come from your own photos. SealPop does not print anything either; the stickers live in the app.
SealPop is a general app, not an app made for children. Face-to-face codes, no chat, and report and block narrow who can send a picture, but they do not replace a parent knowing who a child trades with.
No. The cutout, border and finish are made on your phone. A photo only leaves the phone when you offer it in a trade, and then only that one sticker is uploaded, visible to the person you are trading with.
Not to make stickers or fill your book. Trading asks you to sign in with Google or Apple, because a trade has to know who is on each side.
There is no way to find or be matched with other people inside the app. A trade starts only when one person scans the other's QR code or types their six-digit code, which is meant for friends you are with.
Switch to a round or scalloped cut with one tap. The photo is trimmed to that shape with the same white border, so it still looks like a proper sticker.
The images are deleted after 30 days, and the sticker you received is already saved on your phone. Reported stickers are kept until the report is dealt with.
No. Deleting your account clears your trade history and uploaded images from the server. Your sticker book and everything in it stay on your phone.
