@StickerMakerFromPhotoBot is the quickest way to build a whole sticker pack from photos: send a photo and it removes the background, adds a white outline and puts the sticker into your own pack in about 4 seconds. Its other strength is video stickers — send a video, GIF or round video note and it does the fiddly WEBM conversion for you. It can't add text or drawings; for a single photo sticker with text, Telegram's built-in sticker editor is enough.
