A good sticker is one character, one feeling, and a motion you can read in half a second. This guide gives a prompt recipe for that, the settings that keep stickers snappy, and practical notes on using the finished GIFs in chat apps.
What makes a sticker work
Stickers are small on screen, so bold shapes and a plain background matter more than detail. One character, centred, with a clear expression and a single gesture: a thumbs-up, a happy dance, a slow blink, a facepalm. The 512 × 512 square output fits this format well.
Keep the palette simple and the background flat or softly lit. Busy scenery competes with the emotion you are trying to send.
A prompt recipe
Character + emotion + gesture + style + background + loop instruction. For example: “A tiny pink bear” + “delighted” + “does a little side-to-side dance and raises its arms” + “soft matte clay, 3D stop-motion look” + “plain warm peach background” + “returns to the starting pose, seamless loop, no text”.
The 3D and clay style and the Illustration style both give friendly sticker looks. Cinematic is usually too detailed for a sticker; pixel art works if you want a retro feel.
Settings that keep stickers snappy
Most reactions fit in 9 frames at 200 milliseconds, about 1.8 seconds per loop, which is the default standard generation at 4 credits. Use 16 frames for a longer wave or a dance with two beats. The 120-millisecond speed makes small gestures feel lively; avoid 320 milliseconds unless the motion is meant to be sleepy.
Draft quality is fine for checking the pose and timing before you spend standard or high-detail credits on the final version.
Using the GIFs in chat and elsewhere
Download the GIF from your studio or My GIFs; there is no watermark. Most messaging apps and social platforms accept GIF attachments directly. Apps that use their own sticker pack formats may need a conversion step in that app’s sticker tool, and this site does not provide transparent backgrounds, so a plain background colour is the practical choice.

Can I get a transparent background?
Not in this version. Generated GIFs always include a background, so describe a plain colour that suits the chat theme, or remove the background with another tool afterwards.
Can I make a set of stickers with the same character?
Describe the character identically in each prompt, including colour, shape and outfit, and change only the emotion and gesture. Results vary between generations, so expect small differences and keep the versions you like.
Do I own the stickers I make?
You may use them, including commercially, subject to the service terms and the model provider’s policies. Outputs may resemble other content and may not qualify for exclusive rights.
