What this guide covers
For anyone who has invented a character and wants a short looping animated sticker of it. The guide follows OpenAI's developer documentation for its newest image models: write the character down once, get a still with a see-through background, ask for a single loop from that still, and keep the character steady by starting each request from it. The model steps were not run by the author. What is tested is a checking script on drawn stand-in stickers: it reads the loop flag, timing, transparency, the edge, the jump where the loop restarts and drift in size or colour, and can write a smaller copy. Honest limit: no model output was ever checked, and the app screens are not covered.

How to make a looping GIF sticker of your own character
Coverage
For anyone who has invented a character and wants a short looping animated sticker of it. The guide follows OpenAI's developer documentation for its newest image models: write the character down once, get a still with a see-through background, ask for a single loop from that still, and keep the character steady by starting each request from it. The model steps were not run by the author. What is tested is a checking script on drawn stand-in stickers: it reads the loop flag, timing, transparency, the edge, the jump where the loop restarts and drift in size or colour, and can write a smaller copy. Honest limit: no model output was ever checked, and the app screens are not covered.
Example
On the stand-in stickers, a bobbing character passed, while a copy with no loop flag, one whose last frame had moved far sideways, and one on a solid white background each raised a different problem. A still with soft edges kept thousands of partly see-through pixels, and the GIF made from it kept none. A smaller copy at 256 pixels was about 56 percent of the original's size and kept all nine frames and the timing.
Useful starting points
- Write the character description once and paste it unchanged into every request.
- Look at the sticker on a dark and a light background before you export it.
- Keep your platform's own file rules open while you export.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
