Each pair is a scene, a still image, and a prompt. The GIF already has a transparent background.
Scene

Transparent GIF sticker, chat sticker GIF, and photo to transparent GIF for Discord, Telegram, iMessage, or WeChat.
Prompt: The subject waves one hand at the camera with small natural motion. The body stays in place and does not walk or leave the frame.

Scene
Transparent GIF overlay for OBS and Twitch
Transparent GIF overlay, OBS overlay GIF, Twitch alert GIF, and stream overlay animation from one still photo.
Prompt: The subject waves one hand in a clear hello, then returns to rest. Motion stays in place so it works as a corner overlay.

How DollFX works
1
Upload a photo with a clear subject.
2
We animate it in place — a wave, nod, or idle loop.
3
Download a transparent looping GIF, or a green-screen / ProRes 4444 video.
The GIF is already keyed. The video stays on green so you can chroma-key it, or use ProRes 4444 if you need a true alpha channel.
Frequently asked questions
Is DollFX free to try?
Yes. Every account includes 5 credits — enough for one 5-second Fast GIF. No card required. Plus and Pro add monthly credits, longer clips, and Better quality.
Does the GIF really have a transparent background?
Yes. The subject is cut out and the background is keyed, so the loop sits on any chat bubble, shop card, or stream scene. The checkerboard in the examples above proves it.
What can I make from one photo?
Chat stickers, OBS and Twitch overlays, product listing loops, and figure idles. Each example on this page started as one still image plus a short prompt.
Do I need a video or editing software?
No. Upload one photo, write a short motion prompt, and download the looping GIF. No video shoot, no editor. Need an editor file? Export green-screen or ProRes 4444.
