Word Sticker Bot

This Telegram bot stylizes any text sent by the user, and generates a sticker which is added to the user's individual sticker set.

How does it work? It converts the user's text message into an HTML string styled with various CSS elements according to the user's choice of fonts. The bot then converts the HTML string into a compressed PNG image via imgkit and PIL. The user will automatically receive the sticker generated from our bot, added to their individual sticker set.
