Choice of tools is always a personal preference although some tools work better for certain tasks than others.

For stickers (or finely-cut materials) a vector-based tool (like Illustrator) will likely be ideal.

You can bring a pixel-based image - like a photo - into Illustrator (and most other vector-based tools). Then use Illustrator's tools to "trace" the shapes you need. Do this manually - don't use the Image Trace tool and functionality unless you like to spend lots of time cleaning up automated results.

Once complete, you can remove or hide the photo you used as a guide.

Also work with your chosen printer - often printers will have certain ways they want files to be created and sent to them. Save yourself time and money by finding out and following these guidelines before you send them your artwork!
