Making stickers

How do I make an animated WhatsApp sticker from a photo?+
In Dappi: pick a photo (camera or library), and type what should happen in one sentence: "blow a kiss", "happy dance". The AI animates your photo into a looping clip, it becomes a WhatsApp sticker, and one tap adds your pack to WhatsApp.
Do I need editing skills or Photoshop?+
No. There is no timeline, no layers and nothing to learn. Describing the motion in a short sentence is the whole skill, and Dappi takes care of the rest.
What kind of photos work best?+
Most photos work. A clear, well lit shot with the face or subject front and center tends to come out best. Busy backgrounds are fine too, or cut yourself out entirely with one toggle.
Are the stickers really animated?+
Yes. It's real animation, not a still photo with a shake effect. The AI generates a short video of your photo doing what you described, hair moving and expressions changing along with it.
Can I remove the background?+
Yes. Every sticker has a background choice: keep the scene, or cut the subject out onto transparency, the classic sticker look. Cutting yourself out also tends to look cleaner and sharper.

Quality & WhatsApp's rules

Why do stickers from other apps come out blurry?+
Most apps force every sticker down with one crude compression setting to meet WhatsApp's limits, and that's what smears the detail. Dappi works harder to keep each sticker as sharp as it can be, even under those same limits.
Will my stickers always work in WhatsApp?+
Yes. Dappi automatically formats every sticker to meet WhatsApp's technical requirements, so it drops straight into your chat and works without getting rejected.
Do the stickers loop?+
Yes. Every Dappi sticker loops forever in the chat, just like the animated stickers WhatsApp ships itself.

Privacy

What happens to my photo?+
Your photo is used once, to generate your clip, then deleted from our servers. Your finished stickers live in your library, on your device and in your account.
Do I need an account?+
You can browse every recipe and set your entire sticker up, photo, prompt, length, background and frame, without one. You'll just need to sign in to actually generate it, so your stickers have somewhere to live.

Availability

Is Dappi on iPhone or Android?+
iPhone first. Android is planned after the iOS launch.
Can I use my stickers in iMessage?+
Right now you can send a Dappi sticker into iMessage as a GIF. Copy it from your library and paste it into the chat. There's no native iMessage sticker support yet, but it's planned.
Is Dappi affiliated with WhatsApp?+
No. Dappi is an independent app, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by WhatsApp LLC. Dappi creates stickers in the standard format WhatsApp accepts from outside sticker apps.
How many stickers fit in a pack?+
A WhatsApp pack holds 3 to 30 stickers. Dappi lights up "Add to WhatsApp" at 3, and you can keep adding and sending again. The pack in WhatsApp updates.
