Making stickers

How do I make an animated WhatsApp sticker from a photo?+
In Dappi: pick a photo (camera or library), crop it square, and type what should happen in one sentence: "blow a kiss", "happy dance". The AI animates your photo into a looping clip, your phone converts it into a real WhatsApp sticker, and one tap adds your pack to WhatsApp.
Do I need editing skills or Photoshop?+
No. There's no timeline, no layers, no keyframes, no software to learn. Describing the motion in a short sentence is the whole skill. Dappi handles cropping, animation and all the technical bits automatically.
What kind of photos work best?+
Clear and well lit, with the face or subject front and center. You crop to a square inside the app, and that square becomes the sticker. Busy backgrounds are fine, or cut yourself out entirely with one toggle.
Are the stickers really animated?+
Yes. Real looping animation, not a still with a shake effect. A top tier image to video AI model generates genuine motion from your photo: hair moves, expressions change, the action you described actually happens.
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 blunt squeeze is what smears the detail. Dappi is smarter about it, using its own sophisticated processing to keep each sticker as sharp as it can be. It's more work behind the scenes, and completely worth it.
Will my stickers always work in WhatsApp?+
Yes. Dappi automatically formats every sticker to meet all of WhatsApp's technical requirements, so it drops straight into your chat and just works. No rejections, nothing to fiddle with.
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?+
It's 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. We don't keep it.
Do I need an account?+
You can browse every template 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.
