What the preview is for
Personal Packs are made from one uploaded face or pet photo. Before using a Key, Stiqi lets you preview the pack so you can decide whether it feels right.
The preview step is there to make unlocking clearer. It helps you understand the style and the general feel of the Personal Pack before you commit a Key.
A four-part preview check
- Recognition: the result still feels connected to the face or pet in the uploaded photo.
- Expression: the reactions communicate moods clearly at a glance.
- Direction: the visual style feels right for the personality you want to show.
- Usefulness: the reactions fit conversations you actually have.
Look beyond a single favorite sticker
A Personal Pack is a complete set of 15 stickers, so judge the overall direction rather than one reaction in isolation. Ask whether the set gives you enough variety for quick replies, jokes, and everyday chat moments.
The strongest preview is not only attractive; it also feels recognizable and easy to use repeatedly.
Compare the preview with the source photo
If something feels off, identify the specific cause before trying again. A face might be too small, an expression might be hidden, or the light might make important features difficult to read.
- Check whether the subject is large enough in the original frame.
- Look for blur, deep shadows, or a bright background behind the subject.
- Confirm that the eyes, hair or fur, and defining features are visible.
If the preview is not right
- Pause before unlocking.
- Choose a clearer photo that addresses the issue you noticed.
- Create a new preview and run through the same four-part check.
- Use a Key only when the complete direction feels worth keeping.
When to use a Key
Use a Key when the preview looks good enough to unlock the full Personal Pack. Remember: 1 Key unlocks 1 Personal Pack.
After unlocking, the Personal Pack can be exported or shared to chats where supported.
