You don’t need a sticker app from the App Store. Your iPhone’s browser can turn a video from your camera roll into an animated WhatsApp sticker, and the video never leaves your phone.
Step by step
- Open tosticker.com in Safari or Chrome on your iPhone.
- Tap Choose a file, then Photo Library, and pick the video.
- Drag the frame on the clip bar to the part you want, up to four seconds.
- Add a caption or remove the background, then tap Make sticker.
- Press and hold the sticker, tap Copy, and paste it into a WhatsApp chat.
Which videos work
Anything in your camera roll: clips you filmed, videos saved from chats, and screen recordings. Files can be up to 20 MB. A long video is fine, since you only keep up to four seconds of it.
Pasting on iPhone
On the result screen, press and hold the sticker until the menu appears and tap Copy. In WhatsApp, open the chat, tap the message box once, then tap it again and choose Paste. You’ll see a preview first; send it and it lands as a sticker.
To keep it, tap the sticker in the chat and then the star. It goes into your Favourites in the sticker tray.
Keep this tab open
The sticker is made on your iPhone, not on a server, and it only takes a few seconds. Stay on the page until the confetti shows; if the page was closed or reloaded, tap Make sticker again.
