Emoji Picker & Search
Find and copy any emoji or symbol.
Emoji Picker lets you search emoji by name or keyword, browse them by category, and copy one with a click. It also carries the symbol sets people hunt for — arrows, currency, maths, punctuation and box drawing — and remembers what you used recently, locally. Nothing is uploaded and no search leaves the page.

Questions about Emoji Picker & Search
Why do some emoji look different on my device?
Every platform draws its own artwork for the same code point. Apple, Google, Microsoft and Samsung all have distinct designs, so what you send is a character, not a picture — the receiving device decides how it looks.
Are skin tone variants included?
Yes, where the emoji supports them, applied with the Fitzpatrick modifier characters.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The emoji data is part of the page, so the picker works with no connection at all.
Why can I not find an emoji I know exists?
This is a curated set of a few hundred emoji and symbols rather than the whole Unicode catalogue — holding it in the page is what lets the picker work offline, so the long tail was left out. Vendor-only stickers are missing as well, having never been encoded as characters. Try a plain description as well as the official name — most entries carry several keywords.
Can I use emoji in a filename or a password?
Technically often yes, practically no. Plenty of systems reject them in filenames, and a password with an emoji in it can be impossible to type on a device without a picker. Keep them out of anything you may need to retype.
Is Emoji Picker & Search really free, with no limits?
Yes. There is no account, no daily cap, no file-size tier and no watermark, because there is no server cost to recover. The site is funded by clearly disclosed partner recommendations on the Partners page, never by metering the tools.
Are my files or text uploaded when I use Emoji Picker & Search?
No. Everything is processed by JavaScript running in your browser, on your device. You can verify it: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and use the tool. You will see no request carrying your data — because there is nowhere for it to go.
