This tool is made to let you easily modify or animate images with preprogrammed effects.
Currently supported effects:
- Animated violent image shaking
- Discord ping count overlay
Currently supported output formats:
- GIF (static and animated), you want to use this format for when you upload animations as emojis to Discord
- WebP (static and animated), this is better for static images on Discord, WebP animations somehow don't work there yet
- PNG (static and animated), however Animated PNG tends to be unsupported by most software
- JPEG (static only)
- If you want to use the Discord Ping effect, you will need
whitneybold.otf
from the Whitney font package extracted as-is to the directory where you run the executable.

Put a discord ping counter on an image:

lazlow discord-ping yourimage.png yourimage_ping.png --discord-ping-number=1337
- Animated WebP files generated by this tool fail to load on Discord, it's unknown whether this is just an issue with this tool's output or with animated WebP files in general.
All you need to compile is Go, you don't even have to clone the source code since Go will do that for you. Just run this command:
go get github.com/icedream/lazlow/cmd/lazlow
This is enough to build the binary and it will be put into your ${GOPATH}/bin
by Go.
