A few words turn a reaction into a reply. “omg”, “same”, “on my way”: the caption says it, the clip shows how you feel about it.
Add a caption
- Open tosticker.com and choose a video, GIF or photo, or paste a link and tap Load.
- Open the Text tab and type your caption in the box.
- Pick a font, a colour and a size, then drag the words on the preview to where you want them.
- To make the words move, pick an animation: Shake, Bounce, Pulse, Type, Rainbow or Blink.
- Tap Add text for a second or third line.
- Tap Make sticker, then press and hold the sticker, tap Copy and paste it into a WhatsApp chat.
Fonts, colours and size
- Bold is chunky signage letters, the default.
- Meme is tall and narrow and always in capitals, like the classic meme caption.
- Hand looks written with a marker.
- Clean is a plain, heavy sans for longer words.
There are six colours. Every caption gets a dark outline (black text gets a white one), so it stays readable on a light chat, a dark chat and a busy clip. The size slider goes from small print to a caption that fills the width; long lines shrink to fit.
Make the words move
Each caption has its own Animation. Shake rattles it, Bounce hops it up and down, Pulse throbs, Type writes it out letter by letter, Rainbow runs colours through it and Blink flashes it on and off. The preview plays it straight away.
Moving words work on a photo too, and even with no clip at all: tap No clip? Make a text sticker on the first screen, type a word and pick an animation. The result is a two-second animated sticker. Need ideas? The ready-made stickers open in the editor with one tap.
Placing it
The first caption starts near the bottom. Drag it anywhere on the preview, on top of the clip or in the space around it. Each line moves on its own, so you can put one at the top and one at the bottom. You can have up to three lines of up to 24 characters each.
Not sure it reads well? Under the preview, switch the background to Chat or Dark to see the sticker the way it will sit in WhatsApp.
Tips for captions that read at chat size
- Keep it short. A sticker shows up about the size of a thumbnail. One to three words read at a glance.
- Go big. A larger caption on one line beats two small ones.
- Mix it with a cutout. With the background removed in the Cutout tab, the caption sits right on the chat next to your subject.
