Part 4. Best 3 Ways to Make Your Own/Custom Stickers

Method 1: Make Image Stickers with a Built-in Camera and a Photo Editor

You can use this workaround method to add stickers to your videos. It's not quick but it'll get you there. All you need is your camera app, a photo editor app, and an app like InShot to add the custom GIF to the video as a sticker.

1. Click a photo in your device camera

2. Edit it using a photo editor app and export it as a GIF. You can use GIF X for iOS or Camera MX for Android.

3. Using another app like InShot to add it to your video

4. Upload the video to TikTok as usual

Method 2: Make GIF Stickers with iMyFone Filme

An easier method is to use a desktop editor that will do the job of both the photo editing app as well as InShot. iMyFone Filme fits the bill perfectly. It supports image and video editing as well as conversion to GIF. You can easily import the video and the image from your phone, edit both, add the image as an overlay using the picture-in-picture feature, add filters, effects, etc., and export the video to your phone and then upload it to TikTok. Here's the process in detail:

1. Import an image to iMyFone Filme on your desktop by dragging it into the Media Library or importing it from your phone

2. Add effects, animation, text, etc. using the panel on the top-left

3. Perform other edits like cropping, pan, zoom, etc.

4. Add your video to a new track and use the picture-in-picture feature to add the image as an overlay image

5. Export the video and upload it to TikTok

Method 3: Create New Stickers with GIPHY

GIPHY also has a sticker-making desktop application where you can import your images and convert them into GIFs to upload to the main GIPHY platform. Of course, there's an approval process before it becomes public and accessible via TikTok, but it's another option that's open to you.

1. Go to the GIPHY Sticker Maker URL in your browser.

2. Upload an image after selecting the Sticker option

3. Use the lasso tool to cut out the part you want to use

4. Choose an animation type after clicking Continue to Animate

5. Click Continue to Upload and then Upload to GIPHY after adding the tags and category

If approved, you'll find the sticker when you search GIPHY in TikTok. However, it must be approved by TikTok as well, so there's only a 50-50 chance it will be there. Method 2 is the recommended way for now. To use Method 3 (Create in GIPHY), please read the Bonus Guide below.

Bonus Guide: How to Add Custom Stickers to a TikTok Video

Although GIPHY has partnered with TikTok, that doesn't mean that all GIF stickers uploaded to GIPHY will be accessible via the TikTok app. There's a process to be followed, which we've explained below:

1. First, you'll need to apply for a Brand channel or Artist channel on GIPHY, and this can only be done after you have at least 5 GIFs in your private channel.

2. After your channel is approved, there's a moderation period where TikTok will evaluate the channel and decide whether or not to make it available through its app.

3. If TikTok approves the channel, your future uploads to GIPHY will be available quickly if they meet all the platform's guidelines.

The best advice is to make your GIF stickers family-friendly so they have a better chance of getting accepted. However, there's no guarantee that either GIPHY or TikTok will approve any or all your stickers and GIFs.
