FYI: There is a test version of converter written in C++ in master-cpp branch. It works a little faster, but generated GIFs may contain some artifacts.

    docker build -t tgs-to-gif .

  2. Convert! Pass directory with stickers and run:

    docker run --rm -v <path to directory with stickers>:/source tgs-to-gif

The result will be saved next to each source sticker file in the same directory.
