vidstickerHow to make custom TikTok stickers
TikTok lets you make your own stickers for messages, but only from a picture in your gallery, and its Cutout works on a single photo. Our TikTok page turns any video, GIF or photo into that picture: the background removed, an outline if you like — and as a GIF it even moves in the chat.
Make the picture
- Open vidsticker.com/tiktok on your phone and upload a video, a GIF or a photo — or paste a TikTok, YouTube or Instagram link.
- Pick 1–3 seconds on the frame strip. On the Background tab, “People, animals and objects” leaves only the hero; the Style tab adds an outline.
- Press “Make sticker”, then “Download sticker · GIF” — or “Static · PNG”. On an iPhone the button says “Save to Photos”: in the Share menu, tap “Save Image” and the picture lands in your gallery.
Create the sticker in TikTok
- Open any chat in your Inbox and tap the sticker icon next to the message field.
- Under Saved, tap “+”. TikTok offers your avatars, your posts and your gallery.
- Pick the picture you saved. If it isn't there, use the buttons above the gallery to let TikTok see more photos — it only sees the ones you've given it access to.
- Skip Cutout — the background is already gone — and tap Create sticker. It stays under Saved, ready for any chat.
A GIF becomes an animated sticker — we checked on an iPhone: it moves in the chat. A PNG becomes a still sticker with a transparent background.
TikTok's own Cutout can lift a person from a single photo, but it can't take a moment from a video or add an outline around the hero. That's the part our page does.
Stickers that work in a chat
- One emotion. A laugh, a gasp, a nod — a short 1–2 second moment reads better than a long one.
- Close up. Use Crop on the Frame tab, or remove the background — it trims the empty space by itself.
- Outline. A white outline keeps the hero visible in both light and dark mode.
FAQ
Can a custom TikTok sticker be animated?
Yes. TikTok makes the sticker from a picture in your gallery, and if it's a GIF, the sticker moves. Our GIF is 320×320 with a transparent background, up to 1.5 MB.
Why can't TikTok find my picture?
TikTok only sees the photos you've given it access to. Select the picture with the buttons above the gallery, or allow access to all photos in your phone's settings.
The sticker is ready, but the message won't send
That happens when messaging isn't available in the other person's country — it's TikTok's own restriction and has nothing to do with the sticker.
Can I make a sticker from someone else's clip?
For yourself and your friends — yes: we take videos from links for personal use only. Don't publish someone else's content without their permission.
Is it free?
Yes, with no watermark. Without signing in — 5 stickers a day; signing in removes the limit.
