How to Make Animated WhatsApp Stickers From Video

Trim a short clip, frame the action, preview the loop, and save an animated WebP without confusing platform compatibility.

Trim a short clip, frame the action, preview the loop, and save an animated WebP without confusing platform compatibility.

Quick answerOpen GIF Maker, select a video or supported moving source, choose a 1–6 second range limited by the available source duration, adjust Fit, Fill, or Center Crop with two-finger positioning, add optional text, preview the loop, and save the animated WebP to an animated pack.

Step by step

  1. Choose one short action

    A wave, reaction, or facial expression loops better than a long scene. Start close to the useful moment so trimming stays simple.

  2. Choose a 1–6 second range

    Set the trim handles around the useful action. The maximum whole-second choice is capped at 6 seconds and can be shorter when the source video is shorter. Check the first frame because it is what people see when playback pauses.

  3. Frame the video

    Choose Fit, Fill, or Center Crop. Use two fingers to scale and reposition the video; one-finger video pan and video rotation are intentionally not part of the workflow.

  4. Add and preview text

    Text has its own position, scale, color, outline, and rotation. Play the selected range and pause on several frames to check readability.

  5. Export to an animated pack

    Let the export finish, then save the animated WebP to a separate animated My Stickers pack. Test the result in a supported destination.

Compatibility and limits

Before you startStizone GIF Maker exports animated WebP for animated user packs. WhatsApp supports compatible animated packs. Stizone’s native Telegram import and Apple Messages flow are static-only, so do not promise that this animated WebP can be sent through those paths.

Troubleshooting

The loop jumps

Adjust the start and end so the final pose connects naturally to the first frame.

The subject is cropped

Switch crop mode or use a two-finger gesture to reduce scale and recenter.

Export takes longer

Shorten the selected range or use a simpler source; keep the app open until the owned export finishes.

Frequently asked questions

What duration does Stizone allow?

Can I move video with one finger?

No. Video positioning uses a two-finger pinch and centroid gesture.

Can I add the result to Telegram?

Stizone’s Telegram import accepts static stickers only.
