In 2025, TikTok offers a variety of sticker features that let users create, use, and share stickers in videos, comments, and direct messages. You can make custom stickers from your own videos, add stickers to comments, and manage who can use your stickers through privacy settings.
To create a sticker from a TikTok video:
- Open the TikTok app, select your video, tap the share button, and choose "Create sticker." You can edit the sticker by cropping, adding text, and selecting keywords. After creation, stickers appear in your messaging favorites and profile, and you can choose whether they are public or private [1] [4].
To send and use stickers in comments or messages:
- Ensure your TikTok app is updated to the latest version. In comment sections, tap the emoji option and look for the sticker option, which may now support GIFs and stickers as well as emojis. Saved stickers from your favorites can be sent as comments or direct messages [2] [3] [4].
Sticker sets and stores:
- TikTok has a sticker store where you can discover, create, and showcase sticker sets. Royalty-free and custom designs (including themed sets like "Happy New Year 2025") are available for both use in videos and live shows [4] [5] [6].
Sticker privacy management:
- In your privacy settings, you can control who can turn your videos into stickers and who can reuse your content. You can also add or remove stickers from the sticker store and delete unwanted stickers from your library [4].
