question: are whatsapp sticker packs limited to 30 stickers? #1

As of right now the converter only processes 30 images - is it due to an limit of whatsapp sticker packs? Second issue is that it creates a separate sticker pack for each image - should the program create one stickerpack and include all of the images from the input?

Hi!

About the 30 limit question It is a limit that the Sticker Maker app has, which is the one you then have to open the files with, I do not know if whatsapp will also have that limit.

And can you explain more about creating a file for each photo? You should put all the photos in the input folder (not in subfolders inside input) and the script will separate them in batches of 30 all with the same name.

Here is a picture of the result of a test I just did with about 80 photos.

And also I apologize for the quality of the code if it's not the best, it's from a while ago 😅

Best regards and thanks for your questions 🤠

Thank you for the response :)

Well it just created a separate .wastickers pack for each and every image... Maybe the issue has something to do with the fact that I put 1000 webp images in the input folder 😂


Regardless of your project now: I am still very unsatisfied about the way whatsapp does stickers.

For ios and android you are forced to use a third party app like Sticker Maker Studio and for Whatsapp Desktop you do not even have any option to add your own stickers...

All you see is All Stickers and My Stickers - Do you know where All Stickers is coming from? Is there a way to contribute to All Stickers or is it something only for creators with certain access?

There is just no way to create your own sticker packs only using whatsapp itself.

I guess the only option would be to code an ios or android app using the whatsapp sticker api.

I am sorry for this unrelated rant, but now i am curios: what are your experiences on stickers in whatsapp?
