Sticker Maker

Create WhatsApp stickers from images or videos, with optional metadata embedding for use with Baileys.

Installation

Ensure you have Node.js installed, then install the necessary package:

npm install sticker-maker-wa

Usage

const { createSticker } = require("sticker-maker-wa");
const { readFile } = require("fs/promises");

async function main() {
  const imagePath = "./path/your_image.png";

  const image = await readFile(imagePath);

  const sticker = await createSticker(image, {
    metadata: {
      packname: "Pack Name",
      author: "Author Name",
    },
  });

  socket.sendMessage(jid, { sticker });
}

main();

Animated Sticker Creation

If you are creating animated stickers (video to WebP), make sure you have ffmpeg installed on your system. Here's how to use the createSticker function (also works for static stickers):

npm install ffmpeg-static

const { createSticker } = require("sticker-maker-wa");
const { readFile } = require("fs/promises");
const ffmpegPath = require("ffmpeg-static");

async function main() {
  const videoPath = "./path/your_video.mp4";

  const video = await readFile(videoPath);

  const sticker = await createSticker(video, {
    ffmpeg: ffmpegPath,
    metadata: {
      packname: "Pack Name",
      author: "Author Name",
    },
  });

  socket.sendMessage(jid, { sticker });
}

main();
