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.
