Designing and Delivering Stickers for GoodNotes
Custom digital stickers can transform a plain digital planner into a personalized space that feels uniquely yours. This quick guide blends design insight with practical steps so you can go from a concept to polished sticker sheets ready for GoodNotes. The goal is to keep the process approachable while delivering stickers that look professional on every page—from daily planning to themed spreads.
What makes a sticker pack shine
When you’re building a sticker set, a few core principles help your work stand out and stay usable across pages:
- Theme consistency: pick motifs that share a vibe—playful icons, seasonal elements, or clean, minimal labels—to create a cohesive collection.
- Transparent backgrounds: export PNGs with transparency so stickers blend seamlessly with any notebook background.
- Scale and alignment: choose a base size that scales well across sheets to prevent awkward gaps or overlaps.
- File management: use clear naming and folder structure so readers can quickly assemble sheets without hunting through archives.
Tip: Start with a handful of core shapes and then expand with variations. A smaller, well-curated set feels more versatile and easier to download than an oversized collection.
Fast-track: a practical workflow
Follow these steps to turn your idea into sticker-ready files for GoodNotes in minutes:
- Plan your sticker set around a clear theme and palette.
- Design or source assets in high resolution; vectors are ideal for crisp scaling, while high-res PNGs ensure sharp edges on all devices.
- Export as PNGs with transparent backgrounds to maximize versatility in GoodNotes.
- Organize assets into sheets that align with common import workflows (think 6x6 or 12x12 grids).
- Test in GoodNotes: check how stickers appear on different page backgrounds and adjust spacing as needed.
Keeping file sizes reasonable helps readers download and use the stickers more freely. A compact pack of 8–20 PNGs per sheet can still feel rich when bundled with a few ready-made sheets for seasonal themes.

As you refine your process, document naming conventions and export presets. This discipline pays off when you assemble multiple sticker packs for release, ensuring a smooth handoff from design to readers’ GoodNotes libraries.
Bringing it all together in GoodNotes
Once your PNGs are ready, import them into GoodNotes as a sticker pack. Create a dedicated notebook or section for your stickers, and consider adding a mini index sheet that shows each sticker with its name. This makes it simple for users to scan and drag the right sticker into a page. You can also annotate the sticker sheet with subtle borders or guides to keep alignment consistent across devices.
While the creative phase is essential, the packaging and accessibility of your sticker sheets matter as well. A clean arrangement, clear file naming, and intuitive folder structure will win fans who keep coming back for more.
