AIKeyMoji or Memoji. Both run on-device with no server uploads. AIKeyMoji wins on flexibility (any photo/video) and library size.
Bitmoji is built specifically for that. Memoji is the iOS-native answer. AIKeyMoji can do photo-based stickers but isn't avatar-first.
GIPHY is the giant. AIKeyMoji's 728-sticker library is curated rather than infinite — fewer choices, every choice good.
AIKeyMoji is built around exactly this: turn any photo or video into a sticker, with on-device AI doing the heavy lifting.
