BraveCLHow to add stickers and captions to photos on Mac
Turn a personal photo into a decorated keepsake with a sparkle sticker, a readable caption and a square canvas in Photo Studio Pro.
- What you'll achieve
- You will have a square photo composition in the editor, with a golden sparkle illustration over the image and a white 'Forever Us' caption on a contrasting background near the bottom.
- What you need
- Photo Studio Pro: Stickers installed on a Mac.
- One photo available to import into the editor.
Photo Studio Pro: Stickers lets you combine one photo, an illustration and your own words on a canvas. This walkthrough recreates the couple keepsake shown in the app's first Mac App Store screenshot. You will size the canvas, add a photo, position a sparkle sticker and place a caption where it stays readable.
1.Set up a square canvas
Open the output settings, set the width and height to 1,080 pixels each, choose a solid background and apply the change. The editor now shows a square canvas with Add Photos in its centre.

In Clipart, choose a sparkle illustration and place it over the photo. Move the selected artwork to a clear area of the image; the Transform controls show its position and size.

Add a caption from the toolbar, then enter "Forever Us" in the Text field under Caption. Give the caption a solid contrasting backing and set its text colour to white.

Drag the selected caption toward the lower part of the photo, keeping the sparkle above it. Review the composition in the editor: the illustration and the white text are both visible before you save or export the image.

Tips
Place stickers away from faces or other important details so the original photo remains the focus.
Use a contrasting caption backing when text overlaps a busy part of the photo.
Review the canvas after moving the caption to make sure both the artwork and message are readable.
