Tools that know rejection reasons and prevent them

Technical skill matters less than spec accuracy and review criteria. We automated that entire part.

24-Frame Batch Generation

Give us a one-line character and pick a scenario pack — we generate all 24 OGQ frames in parallel. Watch real-time progress and regenerate individual frames on the fly.

Automatic Angle Spread

Top rejection reason: "same pose repeats." We auto-assign 19 compositions (bust shot, worm's eye, bird's eye, edge crop, etc.) to each slot.

Professional Post-Processing

Auto-slice sprite sheets, remove backgrounds while preserving internal white, center-align frames for zero jitter in GIFs — all built in.

One-Click Export Package

24 stickers at 740×640, cover at 240×240, tab icon at 96×74, all with white stroke finish. One ZIP, correct folder structure, ready for submission.

How to pass
OGQ approval

We collected 6 common rejection reasons from real feedback. Our studio handles 4 automatically; you just watch 2.

AUTO ×4 CHECK ×2
Review Readiness Report
Approval Checklist
PASS
01

Identical pose repeated

Auto-handled

24 frames of only bust shots is rejection #1. We auto-assign different angles per slot and flag similar prompts ahead of time.

02

White stroke finish

Auto-handled

Essential for dark chat backgrounds. Character needs a white outline or it disappears. We apply thickness, color, and rounding across the whole package at once.

03

Effect elements too small

Auto-handled

Sparkles, arrows, exclamation marks vanish in 96×74 thumbnails. "Large emotion effects" is baked into our generation prompts.

04

Spec mismatch on submission

Auto-handled

24 stickers at 740×640, cover at 240×240, tab at 96×74. No math needed — one ZIP export and specs are perfect.

05

Text readability

Manual check

Keep text size and character-text spacing consistent across all 24. Bold, sans-serif type over speech bubbles passes more often.

06

Rights and likeness

Manual check

Even photos you took face rejection if they show people or broadcast footage. Original character concept is safest.

Frequently asked

The questions creators ask most

I can't draw at all. Can I really do this as a side hustle?

Yes — that's exactly who we built this for. Write your character in one sentence. AI handles 24 variations, angle spread, spec validation, and ZIP export. After approval, the market handles sales while you sleep. It's textbook low-maintenance passive income.

Will AI-generated stickers pass OGQ review?

Yes, community reports confirm AI stickers do get approved regularly. But review standards apply equally: character consistency, pose variety, and finish quality (white strokes, transparent background) all matter. Our workflow is designed to hit those criteria out of the box.

How long does review take?

It varies wildly. Sometimes days, sometimes months. Spec errors reset you to the back of the queue, so nailing specs and finishes on your first submit is the fastest path.

What if I get rejected?

You can resubmit with fixes. Our studio lets you pick the problem frames, adjust prompts, and regenerate them individually — no need to restart all 24.

Is there a cost?

Tool trial is free. Connect your own API key (BYOK) and generate at cost. For cloud generation without an API key, you need Signature Membership — a one-time, cohort-priced pass that gets more expensive as we sell more spots.

Why does price go up as we sell more?

By design. Unlimited users flood the market with similar emoticons, diluting your work's value. We use cohorts of 10 to control supply — your entry price locks in for 12 months. The price you see today is always the lowest.

Can I trust the reviews and earnings proof?

Verified testimonials come only from confirmed buyers, with approval screenshots and payout proof, reviewed by our team. No fake ads can slip in.

Which AI models do you support?

Codex (ChatGPT Plus/Pro), Google Gemini and Imagen, OpenAI GPT Image 2 and DALL-E 3, Stability AI. GPT Image 2 excels at transparent backgrounds for finish quality.

How much can I earn from emoticons as a side income?

It is a compounding model: rather than one pack making big money, revenue grows as approved packs accumulate. Your first pack builds the pipeline, and since the marketplace handles sales with no inventory or shipping, growing your catalog is the proven path. See real creators' reviews and revenue records on our success pages.

Start as a hobbyist, scale as a creator

No drawing skills, no design background, no special hardware needed. Just one character idea.

First-time side hustle

One hour after work, your first income stream

AI makes 24 frames, spec checks catch mistakes before rejection. Once approved, your pack sells while you sleep.

Hobby → Income

Your character, two markets, no commission

Launch the same character on OGQ and KakaoTalk in parallel. All sales go to you — the studio takes nothing.

Professional creator

24-frame production bottleneck? We unblock it

Motion GIF, layer editing, auto-builder — multiply your pack output speed. For multi-pack creators, saved time equals more revenue.

Price rises as we fill seats

When the same tool is everywhere, your emoticon loses value — so we control supply with pricing. Right now is always the cheapest price.
