A GIF sent in WhatsApp plays in a box with a GIF label. The same loop as a sticker sits in the chat on its own, without a frame, and you can save it to your Favourites to send again later.
From Tenor, Giphy or X
- Find the GIF on Tenor, Giphy or X and copy its link with the Share button.
- Open tosticker.com, paste the link into Paste a link and tap Load.
- Drag the frame on the clip bar to keep up to four seconds, and add a caption if you like.
- Tap Make sticker, then press and hold the sticker and tap Copy.
- Paste it into a WhatsApp chat and send.
tosticker fetches the file for your browser, because those sites don’t let browsers download it directly. The file passes straight through our server and isn’t kept.
From a GIF you already saved
Tap Choose a file and pick the GIF from your gallery or files. It opens in the editor the same way a video does. Any direct link to a .gif or .mp4 file works in Paste a link too.
Instagram and TikTok
Links from Instagram and TikTok don’t load. Save the clip to your gallery first, then upload it with Choose a file.
Long GIFs
A sticker can be up to four seconds. If your GIF is longer, drag the frame on the clip bar to the part you want to keep. Try Boomerang in the Clip tab for loops that would otherwise jump at the end.
