How to use the emoji picker

Every emoji on one page, grouped the way your keyboard groups them, with a search box that understands what people actually type. Click an emoji and it is on your clipboard — no menu to hunt through, nothing to download, no account.

  1. Search or scroll

    Type a name, a feeling, or a nickname — “lol” finds 😂 and “100” finds 💯. Or use the category links to jump straight to smileys, animals, food, flags, and the rest.

  2. Click to copy

    One click copies the character and the page confirms which one. Your recent copies are kept under the search box, in this browser only.

  3. Paste it anywhere

    Emoji are ordinary text characters, so they paste into Instagram, WhatsApp, Slack, documents, spreadsheets, and even filenames. No image, no font to install.

About this tool

Emoji began as a Japanese carrier feature in the late 1990s and became a Unicode standard because messages had to survive being sent between networks. That history is why the categories look the way they do, and why food and transport are covered so thoroughly compared with everything else.

The picture is not part of the character. Your device picks the artwork, so the same message can arrive looking warmer or blunter than it left — worth remembering before an emoji has to carry the tone of something that matters.

Frequently asked questions

How do I copy an emoji?
Click it. The character goes to your clipboard and the tile confirms it. If your browser blocks clipboard access, select the emoji and press Ctrl+C or ⌘C instead.
Are emoji images or text?
Text. Each one is a Unicode character (or a short sequence of them) that your device draws with its own emoji font — which is why the same emoji looks different on an iPhone and on Android.
Why does an emoji show as an empty box?
The device you pasted into does not have that character yet. Newer emoji take a while to reach every phone and desktop. The copy worked; the receiving font is missing it.
Do you track what I copy?
No. Recent copies live in this browser’s local storage and are never sent anywhere. Clear them with the clear button or by clearing site data.
Where are the skin tone variants?
Deliberately left out. Including all five tones for every applicable emoji would roughly triple the list without helping anyone find anything faster — copy the base emoji and add a tone from your own keyboard.
