About This Tool
This Photo to Emoji maker turns a full photo into an emoji mosaic, so the original picture remains recognizable while it is rebuilt from real emoji characters.
Choose Detail, Style, Background, Emoji Set, export scale, and text width to balance readable emojis with a closer photo match.
The image to emoji converter runs in your browser during normal use, so your photo stays on your device with no upload, no signup, and no watermark.
Emoji mosaic vs AI emoji avatar
An AI avatar generator creates one cartoon face. This tool preserves the full composition and rebuilds it from hundreds or thousands of real emoji characters.
Best photos for an emoji mosaic
Use a clear subject, strong contrast, and a simple background. Raise Detail for smaller tiles or choose Photo Match when preserving color and outlines matters most.
Export emoji mosaic PNG and text
Download a PNG for social posts or copy emoji text for chats, bios, notes, and playful documentation.
