Tip: Use the CLI for converting multiple stickers all at once without intervention!
The following example converts two Line sticker packs into Signal, Telegram and WhatsApp all at once
sticker-convert --no-confirm --download-auto https://store.line.me/stickershop/product/1/en --export-signal
sticker-convert --no-confirm --export-telegram
sticker-convert --no-confirm --export-whatsapp
sticker-convert --no-confirm --download-line https://store.line.me/stickershop/product/2/en --preset signal --export-signal
sticker-convert --no-confirm --preset telegram --export-telegram
sticker-convert --no-confirm --preset whatsapp --export-whatsapp
Note that you can see the conversion result in export-result.txt

To become an identified developer, I have to pay USD$99 to Apple every year.
There are two ways to bypass this problem:
sudo spctl --master-disable before running sticker-convert.xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./Downloads/sticker-convert-macos.zip before extracting the downloaded zip file.If macOS still complains about individual binaries (e.g. apngasm), go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy and press Open Anyway for each file.

GUI: Select From local directory for Input source, tick No compression box and select Upload to xxxxx for Output options
Credentials are stored in creds.json
By default, it should be in the same directory you run the program.
However, if the directory is not writable (e.g. Installed it to /Applications in macOS, or /usr/local/bin in Linux), then creds.json is stored in...
%APPDATA%/sticker-convert/creds.json~/.config/sticker-convert/creds.jsonIt's actually a bisection method to look for most optimal compression setting. The power provides a way to make the values 'deviate' to one side (Negative power would cause sticker-convert to try more large values; Power set to 1 would cause sticker-convert to distribute it's trial evenly between the min and max values; Power more than 1 would cause sticker-convert to try more small values)
To illustrate, let's look at what --steps 16 --fps-min 5 --fps-max 30 --fps-power 3.0 does.
8/16 (step 8 out of 16 steps), which is the mid-point.(8/16)^3.0 = 0.125round((max - min) * step / steps * factor + min), which is round((16-1) * 8 / 16 * 0.125 + 5) = round(5.9375) = 6. This means fps would be set to 6.4/16 (step 4 out of 16 steps, which is midpoint of 0 to 8.). Else, we would try 10/16 (step 10 out of 16 steps, which is midpoint of 8 to 16).See docs/TODO.md
