Create .wastickers file on computer for bulk creating stickers and importing into WhatsApp

Downloading

Precompiled version is available for Windows. Simply download it, unzip and run wastickers-create.exe.

For other OS, or if you do not trust the precompiled version, please download this repository and run the script directly, which you will need python3 and other dependencies

  • If you are using Windows, you will also need ffmpeg, imagemagick and zip. These can be easily installed using chocolately
  • If you are using MacOS, you will also need ffmpeg and imagemagick. These can be easily installed using homebrew
  • If you are using Linux, you will also need ffmpeg and imagemagick. These can be easily installed using package manager of your distro

How to use?

  1. Copy videos/images into input folder
  2. (Optional) Change content of author.txt to your name, and change content of title.txt to title of the sticker pack (If you delete author.txt and/or title.txt, the script will ask you to input author and title name each time it runs)
  3. (Optional) Add cover.png (It should be 96x96 and <50KB). If not added, the script will generate one from the first sticker
  4. Running
    • wastickers-create.py (Will modify files to comply with WhatsApp's limitations)
    • wastickers-create.py direct (Pack into .wastickers file directly)
    • If you are using precompiled version on windows, use wastickers-create.exe

How to compile?

Just run compile-windows.py and get it from dist

Note that the compile script will download ffmpeg, imagemagick, bzip2 and zip binaries automatically, as well as pip installing requests, pyunpack, patool and pyinstaller if not found

How to import .wastickers file into WhatsApp

  1. Download Sticker maker on your phone iOS version | Android version
  2. Transfer the .wastickers file into your phone
  3. Share the file to Sticker Maker app
  4. Inside Sticker Maker app, you can then import the stickers into WhatsApp

How does this work?

.wastickers files are actually zip files. They contain author.txt (Author of sticker pack), title.txt (Title of sticker pack), stickers file in png/webp format and cover photo in png.

Note that the zip file was created with 'junk-paths' (zip -j)

The stickers and cover photo file names are unix timestamp.
