Peel · for iPhone & iPad
Pick a clip, trim it to the perfect moment, and Peel saves a Live Photo that iOS turns into a sticker for Messages, Notes and more.
Free · iOS 17 or later
The sticker beside the phone was made from this same clip: the dog lifted out of its background and looped.
Most stickers take less than a minute, start to finish.
Anything in your photo library or Files. Peel marks the moments that will lift cleanly as a sticker.
Drag to the exact moment, choose the frame your sticker shows at rest, crop it square and add a bounce.
Peel saves a real Live Photo. Touch and hold it in Photos, tap Add Sticker, and it’s in your sticker drawer.
Trim
Pinch to zoom the filmstrip, drag to scan a long video, and set your in and out points exactly. The key frame, the still your sticker shows at rest, gets its own lane so it never fights the trim handles.
Crop & mirrorMirror is new in 1.4
A full-screen crop editor with the aspect ratios stickers love, and what you frame is exactly what exports. Flip the clip so your sticker faces the way you want, or tap Save Mirrored Copy after saving to make its twin for a matching left-and-right pair.
Loop
Bounce plays your clip forward and then backward, so the loop is seamless even when the start and end don’t match. Cut awkward moments out of the middle and set the speed you want.
GIF
Switch the output to GIF for longer clips and see a live file-size estimate before you export. Peel reads GIFs too, so you can turn a favorite GIF into a Live Photo sticker.
Stick
When your Live Photo is saved, Peel shows you exactly what to do next: open Photos, touch and hold your photo until the subject lifts, and tap Add Sticker. It lands in your sticker drawer everywhere iOS has one.
See your sticker’s cutout before you save, powered by Apple’s Vision framework.
When Peel finds more than one subject, pick which ones make the sticker.
Your last ten projects, ready to rename, share, mirror or make again.

Yes. Peel saves a Live Photo, and iOS turns a Live Photo into an animated sticker when you add it from Photos. Short clips with one clear subject against a simple background make the best stickers.
Live Photos work best at about three seconds. You can trim as short as 0.3 seconds, and longer selections are sped up automatically to fit. If you want something longer, switch the output to GIF.
Yes. Import a GIF just like a video, and export any project as a GIF with your choice of quality and frame rate.
