Stiko and Sticker.ly solve different needs. If you already have a screenshot with several stickers and want to separate them, review the crops and export a pack, Stiko is designed for that flow. If you're looking for a large library of stickers to discover, Sticker.ly puts more emphasis on its catalog and community.
In this guide
This comparison is published by the creator of Stiko and is based on the public descriptions of both apps and Stiko's documented flow. It isn't a performance test between the two. Third-party features, prices and availability may change. The best choice depends on what you have right now: a saved collection you want to convert or the urge to explore stickers that already exist.
Main differences
| If you want to… | Stiko | Sticker.ly |
|---|---|---|
| Separate several drawings from a screenshot | Area detection and crop review as the main flow. | Its listing focuses more on creating, searching for and sharing stickers and packs. |
| Create an animated sticker from video | Works with a short video or screen recording. | Advertises animated sticker creation; check the current flow in its listing. |
| Find other people's packs | Not its main focus. | Catalog and community are central to the experience. |
| Process your media on your phone | Screenshots, videos and stickers are processed locally. | Check its current policy to see how it handles your data. |

When to choose Stiko
Choose Stiko if your stickers are already in screenshots or recordings. For example, you see a grid of reactions, take a screenshot and want to turn each drawing into a separate piece. The app suggests areas, you decide what to keep and then you prepare the pack for WhatsApp. That control over an existing set is its practical advantage.
It also makes sense if you prefer to create from material saved on your device. Gallery screenshots and videos are processed locally, and you don't need a registered account to create and export local packs. Importing links and publishing to Community are online features; check the privacy policy to tell these flows apart.
When to choose Sticker.ly
Sticker.ly may be the better fit if you don't have a specific image yet and want to explore packs made by other people, search for a theme or share within a large community. Its public listing presents that catalog alongside creation tools. The visible paid options and their availability may vary by country and version; check the store before deciding.
What if I only use WhatsApp?
WhatsApp lets you create stickers and packs directly. For a single sticker from a photo, that may be enough. For a screenshot with several drawings, Stiko adds a process to detect and review the grid before exporting. WhatsApp explains its current features in its help center.
The quick choice
If your question is about TikTok, also see Stiko vs Stikk for making stickers. In Stiko you can both crop screenshots automatically and create animated stickers by selecting a video.
- You already have a screenshot with lots of stickers: try Stiko.
- You want to discover packs made by others: explore Sticker.ly.
- You want to make a single piece from a photo: try WhatsApp's tools first.
- You have a clip with motion: see which cropping and export flow suits your video best.
None of these options guarantees that third-party content can be reused. Always use your own or authorized material.
From a screenshot to your WhatsApp pack
