Stiko: Stickers for WhatsApp

What Stiko is for and who it suits

If you want a sticker from a TikTok clip, a screen recording or a grid of memes in WhatsApp, the awkward part is getting the picture into a shape WhatsApp will accept. Stiko is an Android app built for that job. It takes screenshots and short videos from your gallery and turns them into sticker packs, so the cropping and sorting happen before anything reaches your chats.

It suits people who collect stickers from other places and want their own packs from them. The developer also describes a community catalogue of shared packs, so it can serve someone who would rather download packs that other people have made.

Creating and exporting stickers does not need an account. Publishing and reporting packs does.

Turning a screenshot grid into a sticker pack

The main route starts with a screenshot that holds several stickers. You import it from the gallery, and Stiko detects the stickers within it and presents them as a collection to go through. A single image of a sticker sheet becomes a set of separate items.

Review is where you correct the detection. You can adjust a crop, remove a result that is not a sticker, or add an area the detection missed. The listing says you can preview and refine the selection before exporting.

The steps run in order: import, review, save the pack, then add it to WhatsApp. Saved packs can be organised within the app before you export them.

Making animated stickers from video

Short videos and screen recordings can be turned into animated stickers, not only still ones. Screenshots can be made into static stickers, so the app covers both kinds of output.

Videos reach the app in two ways. You can import one from the gallery, or share a TikTok video with Stiko directly. From there the process is the same: crop, review, then add the pack to WhatsApp.

Cropping works the same way for video as for screenshots. You choose what to keep before saving.

Finding and sharing packs in Community

Community is a catalogue of packs shared by other users. You can discover packs there and download them.

Sharing your own work needs sign-in. A signed-in user can submit a pack for review before it appears in the catalogue, and can withdraw a publication later. Reporting a pack also needs sign-in, and users can block the authors of packs they do not want to see.

What leaves your phone and what stays on it

According to the listing, screenshots and videos imported from the gallery are processed on the device. Creating stickers does not send them anywhere.

Only publishing sends anything to a server. The stickers and the pack title go up for review and distribution, and the original screenshots and videos from the gallery are not uploaded.
