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.

Using Docker

Build the image:
```
docker build -t tgs-to-gif .
```

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.

Using nodejs and gifski

Install gifski.
Install npm dependencies:

npm ci

Convert

Pass one or several stickers:

node cli.js sticker1.tgs sticker2.tgs ...

or pass a directory:

node cli.js /home/ed/Downloads/super_pack/

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