Start with the emoji creation guide
How to make an emoji and download a transparent PNG walks through choosing a preset, changing facial features, moving layers and saving your finished image. It also explains which parts of a mixed emoji can be edited.
Choose the right starting point
- Emoji Maker: build an expression with separate faces, eyes, mouths and accessories.
- Emoji Mixer: choose two emojis and look up an available combination.
- Emoji Gallery: search ready-made images and download or edit one.
Before you export
Use a transparent background for an image without a filled rectangle. Choose 128, 256 or 512 pixels to set the PNG dimensions. Download your result before leaving the editor, because it does not automatically save your design as a draft.
