Add Emojis to Pictures

Drop an emoji on a photo, drag it where it belongs and size it to fit.

How it works

How to add emojis to a picture?

  1. Open the picture

    Drag in a JPG, PNG or WebP, or pick one. It is read straight off your device — nothing is uploaded, so there is no size cap and no queue.

  2. Pick your emoji

    Browse by group or type what you are after — heart, fire, sunglasses. Tap one and it lands on the picture. Add as many as the photo needs; each one is separate.

  3. Put it where it belongs

    Drag the emoji with your finger or the mouse, pull a corner to resize it, and set the angle, opacity, sticker edge and shadow until it sits right.

  4. Download it

    Save as JPG, PNG or WebP. The emoji are drawn at the picture’s own resolution, so what you get is the full-size original with them burned in — and nothing stamped in the corner.

Where it fits

What people put emojis on photos for

Cover a face

The quickest way to keep someone out of a photo you want to post. Drop an emoji over the face, size it until nothing shows, and the copy you share has it burned in — the original is untouched.

React on the picture itself

A crying-laughing face on the moment it belongs to, rather than in a caption nobody expands. It survives being reposted, cropped or screenshotted.

Stories, posts and thumbnails

Emoji are the cheapest way to make a flat photo read at thumbnail size. A fire, a heart, an arrow pointing at the thing you mean.

Cards and announcements

Balloons on a birthday photo, rings on an engagement one, confetti on a graduation. A card in about a minute, with no template to fight.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does my photo get uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser; the photo never leaves your device, which is also why there is no file-size cap.

Can I add more than one emoji to the same picture?

Yes. Add as many as you like — each one has its own position, size, angle and opacity, and any of them can be removed on its own.

How do I cover a face with an emoji?

Drop an emoji on the picture, drag it over the face and pull a corner until it covers everything you want hidden. The download has it drawn into the pixels, so it cannot be peeled off the way a sticker in a social app can.

Pixelate Image — pixelate, blur or censor it instead
Will the emoji look the same for everyone who sees the picture?

Yes. The emoji is drawn into the image itself, so it is a picture from that point on — everyone sees the same one, whatever phone they are on. It is drawn in your own device’s emoji style, which is the one you picked it from.

What image formats can I open and export?

JPG, PNG and WebP — both for opening and for saving. PNG and WebP keep transparency; JPG fills it with white.

Can I add emojis to a photo on my phone?

Yes. It works the same on phone and desktop browsers — drag with a finger, pull a corner to resize.
