Statica

A Python library for converting files to and from their video representations.

Features

Some of the features of Statica include:

• Convert files to their video representations and vice versa.

Video Representation

Statica enables any file to be represented as a video. Each bit of the input file is encoded, where 1's are black pixels and 0's are white pixels.

Pixel Size

Due to compression codecs, data stored as 1x1 pixels might result in corruption. This is due to information loss, which could shift the pixel colors around. As a result, Statica allows for variable width/height pixel sizes, which if set to larger values, will offer protection against corruption.

Sample Frame
