Keys Guide

What are Keys in Stiqi and how do you use them?

Keys are the simple way to unlock Personal Packs in Stiqi. Here is how they work before you create your next pack.

Keys unlock Personal Packs

A Key is used to unlock a Personal Pack. The rule is straightforward: 1 Key unlocks 1 Personal Pack.

A Personal Pack is made from an uploaded face, pet, or couple photo and contains 15 stickers. Before unlocking, you can preview the pack so you know what you are about to use your Key on.

How to use a Key, step by step

  1. Choose a clear face, pet, or couple photo.
  2. Create a Personal Pack preview from that photo.
  3. Review the style, expression, and overall feel of the preview.
  4. If it feels right, use 1 Key to unlock the complete 15-sticker Personal Pack.
  5. Export or share the unlocked pack to chats where supported.

What to check before unlocking

Treat the preview as your decision point. Check that the subject is recognizable, the style suits the photo, and the reactions feel useful for the way you chat.

  • The face, pet, or pair is clear and easy to recognize.
  • The preview feels consistent with the style you selected.
  • You would genuinely use the reactions in conversation.
  • You are ready to keep this complete 15-sticker pack.

If you are not ready to use a Key

Pause at the preview. Try another source photo if the subject is too dark, too small, or hard to recognize. A Key is used only when you choose to unlock a Personal Pack, so make that decision after the preview feels right.

Keys and Premium

Premium includes monthly Keys, which makes it easier to keep creating new Personal Packs over time.

Keys are separate from Regular Packs. Regular Packs are ready-made sticker packs and do not need a Key or photo upload.

Keys and Regular Packs are different

Keys belong to the Personal Pack flow. Regular Packs are ready-made collections that you can browse without uploading a photo, and they are not unlocked with a Key.

A simple way to choose is to ask whether you want the reactions to come from your own face, pet, or the two of you. If yes, create and preview a Personal Pack. If not, browse Regular Packs for a ready-made reaction.
