Telegram Sticker Conversion Tool for Signal (or for anything else???)

READ THIS BEFORE SUBMITTING AN ISSUE!!!

As #3 pointed out, There is currently an issue where if the sticker pack has is_animated set to true, it's using the .tgs format, which for now is unsupported. I'll add in some code for a jank workaround to skip it for now but that is a thing that needs to be fixed. If you have any ideas let me know!

I wanted to pull some of the stickers I use on Telegram and move them into Signal, but didn't want to go through the process of doing it manually, so I took 10x the time in writing a script to do it! Woo,,,,, development.

Getting Started

Requirements

• Python3
  • Use pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install the required dependencies.
• ffmpeg
  • Use your package manager or [https://ffmpeg.org/download.html]
• Telegram Bot Token
  • You can send /newbot to @botfather, give it a name, and it will create your bot, and it will give you a bot token to use.
• Sticker Pack URL
  • You can get this by selecting the sticker pack you want to download/convert, and clicking the Share icon, and Copy Link.

Setup

1. Clone/Download the repository.
2. Create a copy of config.ini.example called config.ini, specify your Bot Token here, and the default output directory of ./out should be fine, however change it if you like.
3. Run python3 ./main.py, you will be prompted for the Sticker Pack URL, and it should begin downloading.

Issues

• Animated Stickers were broken but are now fixed #2 (let me know if you have any issues with them!!)

Troubleshooting

I haven't had any issues to really add here, but if you have any issues, feel free to let me know by opening an issue and I try to help!

Thanks!

If you used the script and thought it was helpful, feel free to star it!
