WhatsApp Sticker Generator (FFmpeg Pro)

🌟 Overview

WhatsApp Sticker Generator is a desktop application built with Python that allows you to easily create animated stickers for WhatsApp from any video file. It features a user-friendly GUI with drag-and-drop support, video trimming, and automatic compression to ensure your stickers meet WhatsApp's strict file size limits (< 500 KB).

✨ About the Project

This project simplifies the process of creating high-quality animated WebP stickers. Instead of manually using command-line tools, this app provides:

• Drag & Drop: Simply drop your video file into the app.
• Batch Processing: Process an entire folder of videos in one click.
• Video Preview & Trimming: Choose exactly which part of the video you want to turn into a sticker using an interactive range slider.
• Adaptive Quality Search (v2.0): The app uses mathematical interpolation to find the highest quality that stays under 500 KB with minimal iterations.
• Auto-Cleanup: Only valid stickers are kept in the output folder; oversized or failed files are automatically deleted.
• Interactive Logs: Monitor the rendering and compression process in real-time.
