A digital planner without stickers works fine, but it looks like a spreadsheet. A few GoodNotes stickers change that: a sticky note for this week’s priorities, a flag on the dentist appointment, a washi strip across the top of the page, a little coffee cup next to “meet Anna”. And unlike paper stickers, they never run out.
Below are 11 sticker packs from Creative Fabrica I’d use in a digital planner, from functional sticky notes and icons to florals, food and a cozy fall set. Most come as a pre-cropped GoodNotes sticker book plus PNG files for other apps. After the list: functional vs decorative stickers, how to add them in GoodNotes, where to find free ones and how to make your own. For green pages full of houseplants, there’s a separate list of plant stickers.
The 11 Best GoodNotes Stickers I Found
I only kept packs made for digital planning: transparent PNGs, and ideally a ready GoodNotes file so you don’t have to crop anything. Sets meant mostly for printing, T-shirts or Cricut are out. Functional packs first, decorative ones after.
TL;DR: 11 GoodNotes sticker packs for digital planners: 4 functional sets (sticky notes, shapes, bullet journal doodles, an everyday sticker book) and 7 decorative ones (neutral, torn paper and washi, coffee, food, florals, autumn and spring). Most include a pre-cropped GoodNotes file plus PNGs for other apps.

Functional vs Decorative Digital Stickers
It helps to think of stickers in two groups, because they do different jobs:
- Functional stickers organize the page: sticky notes, flags, labels, boxes, checklists, icons for appointments, birthdays or bills. You write on them or next to them. They make a planner faster to read.
- Decorative stickers set the mood: florals, washi tape, food, seasonal themes. They make a planner nicer to open every day, which is half of actually using it.
A good start is one functional pack plus one decorative pack in colors that match your planner. If you like a consistent look, match your pen colors too; I listed hex codes in my GoodNotes color palettes.
For a teaching week, that functional-and-decorative pairing can mean subject badges beside lesson notes and a school-themed monthly cover. My teacher stickers for GoodNotes roundup separates classroom labels from decorative school kits so you can choose by the job each needs to do.
How to Add Stickers in GoodNotes
Sticker packs come in two formats, and both are easy:
Pre-Cropped GoodNotes Sticker Book
- Unzip the file in the Files app and tap the .goodnotes file; it opens as a new notebook in GoodNotes.
- Choose the lasso tool and circle the sticker you want.
- Tap it, choose Copy, go to your planner page and paste.
- Resize or rotate it with the lasso handles.
Tip: open the sticker book and your planner side by side in GoodNotes, so you can copy and paste without switching notebooks. You can also save favorite stickers to GoodNotes Elements (or the Elements collections included in some packs) to have them one tap away in every notebook.
PNG Files
- Save the PNG files to Photos or the Files app.
- In GoodNotes, use the image tool to insert a picture, or drag a PNG from Files straight onto the page in Split View.
- Because the background is transparent, the sticker sits on the page like a real one.
PNG files work the same way in Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo and most other note-taking apps.
Sticker Ideas for Your Planner Pages
- Sticky note for the top 3 priorities
- Flags for deadlines
- Icons for appointments, birthdays, bills
- Washi strip as a page header
- Torn paper behind photos
- Food stickers on the meal plan
- Seasonal set on the monthly cover page
- Checkbox labels for habits
- Quote sticker for the week
- Blank labels to rename sections
Keep it light: two or three stickers per page look intentional, ten look busy and make it harder to find what you wrote.
Quote Stickers for GoodNotes
Quote stickers are the quickest way to give a page a mood: one line at the top of a weekly spread sets the tone for the whole week. Most quote packs on Creative Fabrica are SVG files for cutting machines and print, so I looked only at sets with GoodNotes files. These two have them.
Best for colorful one-word quotes
50 Piece Quote Digital Sticker Pack
Stickers: 50 hand-lettered quotesFiles: GoodNotes sticker book + PNG with and without a white border
Best for: date headers, habit trackers, small corners of a page. Designed by Okay Doodle Design Studio.
- 50 short quotes and words such as Be Yourself, Worth It, You Matter, Strong Human, Focus, Bloom and Brave
- A pre-cropped GoodNotes sticker book in landscape, plus a short guide on using it
- Each design comes twice: with a white border and on a transparent background
- Rainbow pastel lettering with small doodles: clouds, stars, a smiling sun
This is the pack I’d pick for a planner: the words are short enough to fit beside a date header or in the corner of a habit tracker. With over 200 favorites it’s also the most-saved quote set I found on Creative Fabrica that comes ready for GoodNotes.
Best for full-sentence affirmations
Affirmation Quote Digital Stickers
Stickers: pre-cropped affirmation quotesFiles: made for GoodNotes
Best for: journal pages, monthly covers, self-care Sundays. Designed by Happy Digitals Co.
- Whole affirmations such as I Am at Peace with Myself, I Am Confident in Myself, I Am Worthy of Success and Abundance
- Pre-cropped for GoodNotes: drag a sticker from the sticker page onto any planner page
- Each quote sits on its own small design: rainbows, florals, stripes and soft shapes
- Warm pink, orange and mustard tones
The Okay Doodle pack is single words, these are whole sentences, so they need some space around them: the top of a journal page or a monthly cover. I’d choose one for each week of the month and come back to it on Sunday.
For more affirmations and pages for hard days, see my mental health stickers.
Where to Find Free GoodNotes Stickers
- Creative Fabrica freebies: there’s a free section with sticker sets and planner elements that changes regularly.
- The GoodNotes Marketplace inside the app has free and paid sticker packs.
- Bonuses in planners: many digital planners include a sticker book, so check what you already have before buying more.
- Make your own (see below), which is free and endlessly personal.
Whatever you pick, check that it’s a transparent PNG or a GoodNotes file. A JPG with a white background will show a white box around every sticker.
Two Free Sticker Books Worth Saving
From that Creative Fabrica freebies section, these are the two goodnotes stickers sets I’d save first. Neither costs anything or needs the All Access trial, and both include a ready GoodNotes file, so there’s no cropping before you use them.
Free functional set
Productivity Digital Planner Stickers
Stickers: 85 stickersFiles: GoodNotes sticker book + PNGs, 150 dpi
Best for: to-do boxes, labels, sticky notes for work and school. Designed by NDP Design Studio.
- 85 functional stickers in muted pink
- A hyperlinked .goodnotes sticker book with everything placed
- PNGs and a blank hyperlinked PDF sticker book for other apps
- Small 150 dpi files that keep the iPad fast
This is the closest a free set gets to a paid functional kit, and the sticker book is already built. Copy the boxes and labels with the lasso tool and you have a week laid out in a couple of minutes.
Free seasonal kit
Autumn Floral 2 Digital Stickers
Stickers: 40+ stickersFiles: GoodNotes file and PNGs
Best for: fall spreads, decorative plus functional stickers in one kit. Designed by Bren Wotherspoon.
- Autumn floral wreaths and patterned cards
- Checkboxes, weekday labels and a latte sticker
- Colored tabs in green, orange, red and gold
- Made for the screen, not for printing
A seasonal kit that mixes decoration with the useful pieces, so it shows both sides of stickers from the start of this guide. Good for the fall months, then swap it for a winter set.
How to Make Your Own Digital Stickers
- From a photo: in the Photos app on iPhone or iPad, touch and hold the subject of a photo (your cat, your coffee) and choose Copy. iOS lifts it off the background, and you can paste it straight into GoodNotes.
- Draw it: sketch a sticker in Procreate or any drawing app on a transparent background and export it as a PNG.
- Design it: make simple labels or quote stickers in Canva and export them as PNG with a transparent background (a Canva Pro feature).
- Save them as a sticker book: paste all your stickers into one GoodNotes notebook, so they’re as easy to use as a bought pack.
FAQ
How do you get stickers on GoodNotes?
Import a pre-cropped sticker book (.goodnotes file) and copy stickers from it with the lasso tool, or insert transparent PNG files with the image tool. Both ways are described above.
What does “pre-cropped” mean?
Each sticker is already cut out and placed in a GoodNotes sticker book, so you just copy and paste it. Uncropped sticker sheets need you to cut out each sticker yourself with the lasso or a crop tool.
Does GoodNotes have free stickers?
Yes, the GoodNotes Marketplace has some free sticker packs, and many digital planners include a free sticker book as a bonus. Creative Fabrica also has free sticker sets in its freebies section.
Do digital stickers work in Notability?
Yes. The .goodnotes sticker books are only for GoodNotes, but the PNG files included in almost every pack work in Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo and other apps.
Will stickers slow down my planner?
A few won’t, but hundreds of large, high-resolution images can make a long planner file heavy. Sticker packs made for digital use (some use 150 DPI on purpose) are lighter than print-quality PNGs.
