Convert stickers to GIF

Sticker to GIF converts animated stickers from messaging apps into ordinary GIFs you can use anywhere: Telegram animated stickers (.tgs, which are compressed Lottie animations), Telegram video stickers (.webm), WhatsApp stickers (animated .webp) and APNG stickers. Transparency is kept by default, or you can place the sticker on a solid background colour.

What sticker files actually are

Messaging apps use several formats under the “sticker” label. Telegram animated stickers (.tgs) are gzip-compressed Lottie JSON — vector animations limited to 512×512 px and 3 seconds. Telegram video stickers are 512 px WebM files using the VP9 codec, which supports transparency. WhatsApp stickers are 512×512 WebP images, animated or still. Each needs a different decoder; this tool picks the right one automatically.

Because GIF supports only fully transparent or fully opaque pixels, the soft edges of stickers can look slightly jagged over dark backgrounds. If you know where the GIF will be shown, choose a matching background colour for the cleanest edge.
