How to turn a photo to emoji
Add a photo
Drop in any picture — a portrait, a pet, a logo. It is read locally and never uploaded.
Emojis get matched
The photo is split into a grid. For every cell, the tool measures the average color and picks the closest emoji.
Tune & download
Adjust detail, style and background until your photo to emoji mosaic looks right, then save as a PNG.
Photo to emoji mosaic features
110+ emoji palette
Each grid cell picks the closest match from a hand-tuned palette spanning faces, nature, hearts, food, flags and more — the core of every photo to emoji mosaic.
Live preview
Every slider and toggle updates the photo to emoji result instantly. Toggle back to the source photo to compare before you download.
Private by design
Your photo never leaves your device. The photo to emoji mosaic is computed entirely in your browser with the HTML5 canvas.
Three style modes
Go from emoji-pure grids to photo-match mosaics that still read as your picture — plus light or dark background for any photo to emoji export.
