LINE has several sticker types that you can distinguish by observing a small icon on the lower right corner of the sticker picture on Sticker Details page. Here are the types:
In the example below, the type is pop up sticker.• No icons : Regular sticker • 
Speaker icon : Regular sticker with sound • 
Arrow icon : Animated sticker • 
Arrow and speaker icon : Animated sticker with sound • 
Lightning icon : Pop up sticker • 
Lightning and speaker icon : Pop up sticker with sound

Downloaded sticker files usually at 300 pixels size. If you want to get the smaller one to save more quota, you can replace "iphone" in the link above with "android", and remove "@2x" text. Stickers for Android versions of LINE are usually smaller, which is about 225 pixels only.

Information about APNG format and the differences between APNG and GIF
Animated and pop up stickers from LINE are using APNG format. This format is a less common format used for animated image. The more common one is GIF. Besides, the browser that supports APNG format from long time ago is only Firefox and Safari. Chrome just supports this format since version 59. Opera has removed this format support starting from 2008 release. While Internet Explorer and Edge does not support this format yet.
You can check your browser's support just by looking this image:
If it says "Your browser supports APNG", then it means your browser can read APNG format. Whereas if it says "Your browser does NOT support APNG", then it means your browser you cannot read APNG format.
Apart from browsers support and applications that can read it, actually APNG has some advantages that is it fully supports alpha (transparent) channels, so we can make animated image which has semi-transparent gradient. As for GIF, it only support whether a solid color or fully transparent pixels.
Look at the image example below:
[GIF]
[APNG]
Image files which is used in white, green, and purple background are the same file. Here, we can see that because of GIF does not support semi-transparent, there will be white border around the edges of the image if the shadow appears. While on APNG the border doesn't exist.
Here is another example:
[GIF]
[APNG]
Here, because of GIF does not support semi-transparent, we can see that if we use the same image file for each background color, the color is became not suitable anymore if they have gradation. To circumvent it, we had to make three separate files for each background color. While with APNG, this can be done with one file only. No matter what color the background is, the gradation will be able to adjust it.
However, if you still need to use the GIF one which is supported by more browsers, I suggest to use APNG to GIF converter from Animizer here. With this application, you can also adjust the speed and background color.
