■ Abstract

This project aims to develop a web-based tool that automates the creation of emoticons for use on Korean messenger platforms.

Focusing on mascot-style characters that are simple yet highly expressive of emotions, the AI will automatically generate animations of up to 24 frames based on user-described emotions and situations, and save them as optimized GIFs and frame-by-frame PNG files.

This will streamline the emoticon creation process for creators, who previously had to use multiple tools from creation to platform review. By providing a single tool, this project aims to offer an efficient and simplified emoticon creation environment that aligns with Korean sensibilities and trends.
