How to make a sticker from a video on iPhone
Open the video in Snippie, pause on a frame where your subject is clear, press and hold the person, pet or object until it lifts out, then tap Make Sticker. Snippie cuts the subject out of every frame and loops it, so you get a moving sticker with a transparent background for iMessage, WhatsApp or as a GIF.
