# Add stickers and animated stickers

> Add GIFs, memes, logos, and animated stickers to your video, or create and edit an animation with AI.

Stickers add a small visual accent without covering your recording. Choose from Tella's sticker library, GIFs, memes, company logos, and animated templates, or create your own animated sticker with AI.

## Add a sticker

1. Open your video in the editor and move the playhead to where you want the sticker to appear.
2. Open **Overlay** in the sidebar.
3. Under **Stickers**, choose a suggested sticker or click **Browse all**.
4. Choose an item from **Animated**, **Doodle icons**, **Badges**, **People**, **Everyday items**, **Retro**, **Company logos**, **GIFs**, or **Memes**.

The sticker appears on the canvas and the Overlay timeline. Stickers start at a compact size so they do not cover your recording. Drag the sticker or its corners to reposition or resize it, then drag its timeline card to change when it appears.

You can also use **Search all stickers** beside the **Stickers** heading to find an item quickly.

## Create an animated sticker with AI

1. Under **Stickers**, click **Browse all**.
2. In **Animated**, click **Create your own**.
3. Describe the animation you want, then click **Generate**.
4. Review the preview. Enter another prompt and click **Update with AI** if you want to refine it.
5. Click **Add to video**.

<Tip>
  Be specific about the subject, movement, and colors. For example: “Three confetti bursts in warm colors.”
</Tip>

## Use an animated template

Open **Stickers** → **Browse all**, then choose a template under **Animated**. Tella adds it to your video immediately.

The animated templates are provided by LottieFiles. Click **License** in the **Animated sticker** panel to review their license.

## Upload an animated sticker

1. Open **Stickers** → **Browse all**.
2. Under **Animated**, click **Create your own**.
3. Click **Upload Lottie** in the top-right corner.
4. Click **Choose file** and select a Lottie JSON or `.lottie` file up to 2 MB.

Animations that use external image assets, themes, or state machines are not supported.

## Edit an animated sticker with AI

1. Select the animated sticker on the canvas or Overlay timeline.
2. Open its three-dots menu and select **Edit with AI**.
3. Describe what you want to change, then click **Update with AI**.
4. Review the result and click **Apply changes**.

You can click **Undo** in the **Animated sticker** panel to return to the previous generated version before applying your changes.

## Adjust or remove a sticker

Stickers use the same controls as other visual overlays. You can move, resize, rotate, trim, split, duplicate, reorder, or delete them. See [Add media overlays](/docs/help/editing/media-overlays) and [Work with the multi-track timeline](/docs/help/editing/multi-track-timeline) for the shared controls.
