Making stickers

How do I make an animated sticker from a photo?+
Upload a photo in Dappi, describe what happens, then generate an AI video. Open the result to edit it and share it as a sticker or GIF. You can start with a recipe if you want an idea.
Do I need editing skills?+
No. A photo and a written prompt are enough to start. The editor is optional. Use it to add text, word art and emojis, control when they appear, or trim the video.
Are the stickers animated?+
Yes. Dappi generates an AI video from your photo and prompt. The result can be shared as an animated sticker or GIF. AI results can vary.
How long does it take to make a sticker?+
Usually under a minute. In the 30 days to October 29, 2026, half of all stickers were ready within 20 seconds of starting, and about 9 in 10 within a minute. A few take longer. You can look around the app or put your phone down while it works.
How long is a sticker?+
Between 3 and 6 seconds. You choose the length before you make it.
Can I animate a photo of my pet?+
Yes. Upload a photo of your pet and describe what happens, the same way you would with a selfie. AI results can vary.
Can I change the background or add a frame?+
Yes. Choose a background option and a frame when setting up your sticker. You can also edit the finished result.

WhatsApp and iMessage

How do I send a Dappi sticker in WhatsApp?+
Open the finished sticker in Dappi and tap Copy. Choose Open WhatsApp, open a conversation, tap the message box, and paste. Dappi currently shares individual animations rather than adding an album to the WhatsApp sticker tray.
Can I use Dappi inside iMessage?+
Yes. Dappi includes an iMessage extension. Open a conversation in Messages, tap the plus button, and choose Dappi from the apps. Pick an animation from your library and send it as a GIF. You can also use the iMessage button on a finished sticker in Dappi.
Are these Apple Live Stickers?+
No. Apple Live Stickers come from Live Photos in the Photos app. Dappi makes a new AI video from a still photo and a prompt, and sends it as a GIF in iMessage.
Can I send a whole album to WhatsApp?+
Dappi albums organize your library. WhatsApp album export is not currently available. Open an individual sticker to copy it into a chat.
Why can an animation look different in a chat?+
The receiving app may resize or compress an animation. Compare the result in the actual chat, and contact support if something looks wrong. A GIF attachment and an item in a sticker tray can display differently.

Accounts and plans

Do I need an account?+
You can browse recipes and set up a sticker before signing in. Sign in to generate it and manage your library.
Is Dappi free to download?+
Dappi is free to download, with in app purchases. Paid plans add features, such as saving the AI video. Check the current offer in the app before buying.
Can I save the AI video?+
Yes. Saving the video to your photo library is included on paid plans. You can also share your animation in a chat.
What happens to my photo?+
Your photo is processed to generate the animation. The Privacy Policy explains the AI providers, storage and deletion periods. Read it before uploading photos of yourself or other people.
