When making stickers there are some times when you want to make them with a white border around them, and then there are other times when you want to make stickers without a white border.
In this tutorial, we'll show you how to remove the white border around PNG sticker designs in Silhouette Studio.
The sticker PNG files we're using from So Fontsy's August SVG and Font Bundle include the white border around them.
But, if you wanted to cut out these stickers without a white border around them, then it's actually very easy to remove that offset.
In Silhouette Studio open the sticker PNG files that include the white border.
Open the Trace panel from the right sidebar. Click "Select Trace Area" and draw a box around the stickers to select your trace area.
Because this is a high-quality PNG file, Silhouette Studio can trace it really cleanly. I didn't need to adjust any trace settings.
Click Trace and Detach.
What this does is it now allows you to click and drag away just the white area from around the sticker! Delete that outer white border.
You can now see in the Send Panel how the cut lines are right around the outside edge of the image.

And don't forget you can grab the stickers we used in this post in the August 2022 SVG and Font Bundle at So Fontsy.
