Turning Ideas into Custom GoodNotes Stickers
GoodNotes has become a versatile canvas for personal organization and creative expression. If you’ve ever wanted to turn a tiny doodle into a set of stickers you can drop into your digital planner, you’re not alone. A well-crafted sticker pack can streamline your planning, add personality, and even help you stay organized without extra taps on your screen.
Design is the art of making the complex feel effortless. When sticker sheets align with your planner’s color palette, your notes practically plan themselves.
Clarify your theme and audience
Before you plunge into vector lines or PNG exports, sketch a quick brief: what’s the mood? What activities will these stickers support? Are you designing for students, professionals, or hobbyists? A consistent theme—like minimalist blues, botanical greens, or playful icons—helps your sticker pack feel cohesive on every page.
Design workflow that keeps you efficient
Pick tools you love—Procreate, Illustrator, or Affinity Designer all handle sticker sheets well. A practical approach is to design each sticker on a square canvas, such as 2048x2048 pixels, with transparent backgrounds. Export PNGs with transparency so the stickers blend cleanly on any page background in GoodNotes. Use a grid to keep alignment consistent; this makes assembling sticker sheets much faster later.
- Grid and margins: Leave a small safe margin so stickers don’t get cut off when you scale them in GoodNotes.
- Face values: Favor bold outlines and simple shapes for legibility at small sizes.
- Color economy: Limit your palette to 4–6 hues for a cohesive kit.
Naming, organizing, and packaging your stickers
Organization saves time when you’re adding stickers to notes. Name files with a clear convention like packname_theme_01.png and group related stickers into folders. If you publish or share your sets, a short readme with export specs and licensing helps others reuse your work.
While you’re in the mindset of portable design, consider pairing your sticker work with a reliable physical companion. The MagSafe Phone Case with Card Holder, Impact Resistant Polycarbonate can keep your device protected during long scribble sessions, especially if you’re balancing doodles with on-screen note taking. It’s a subtle reminder that good digital tools deserve sturdy hardware.

“Consistency in your sticker sheet is the secret sauce—small, repeatable elements let the eye glide across a page instead of jolting at every corner.”
