Browse 850+ emoji by group or search by name and keyword, with instant click-to-copy and a list of recent picks.
Everything runs in your browser: the dataset is embedded in the page and nothing is uploaded. Your recents live in localStorage.
The page embeds a curated dataset of 850+ emoji — character, official Unicode name, group and search keywords — as a static list, so browsing and searching never touch a network. Clicking a tile copies it to your clipboard with the standard Clipboard API, appends it to the collection box, and remembers it in your local recently-used strip.
No. Emoji characters are part of the Unicode Standard, and the code points themselves are not copyrightable — what is copyrighted are specific vendors' drawings (Apple's set, Google's set, and so on). Copying the character from this picker into your own text is exactly what keyboard emoji panels do, and it is free for personal and commercial use.
Yes, and it is increasingly normal — but check the recipient's platform first. Some corporate mail clients still render older or rarely used emoji as empty boxes, and a plain smiley is safer in a first cold email than a sequence. This picker shows each emoji's English name, so you can judge whether the one you picked carries the meaning you think it does.
Same code point, different picture. The character is identical everywhere, but Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung and WhatsApp each ship their own artwork, so a “grinning face” can look noticeably different to your recipient. Some emoji even changed meaning between designs (the “pleading face” started life looking like a disappointed one), so test on a second device when the message matters.
Only in your browser's localStorage, capped at the last 24 picks. Nothing is sent anywhere, the list never syncs, and clearing the strip or your browser site data removes it. No analytics or cookie is attached to the picker.
No. The whole dataset — 850+ characters with their Unicode names and search keywords — is embedded in the page itself, and searching, rendering and copying happen locally. There is no API call of any kind; the picker works with the internet switched off.
If you just finished with Emoji Picker, the natural next steps are Typing Speed Test, Reaction Time Test, Click Speed Test, or browse every tool in Daily Tools.
