What does GIF mean?

GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format, the looping animation behind every reaction you have laughed at online. A GIF sticker keeps that loop but drops the box around it, so it sits in the chat like a real sticker.

GIF to sticker ideas

Good morning greetings, birthday wishes, funny reactions, love messages for your partner, and the inside jokes only your group understands. Pick the GIF, add one line of text, and it becomes yours.

Have a video instead?

The same editor works for clips from your gallery: see video to sticker, and clean up busy backgrounds with AI background removal.
