Use our Image to Emoji converter to transform any photo instantly. For best results, emoji mosaics look best when the source image has strong shapes and clear contrast.

1) Prep your photo

2) Pick a palette

Limit to 6–12 emojis. Fewer options = cleaner picture. Start with blocks (🟥🟦🟩⬛️⬜️) and add 1–2 detail emojis.

3) Choose grid size

If it looks “muddy”, reduce grid size OR reduce palette. Doing both usually fixes it.

4) Share it smart

Export as text for comments, or as an image for consistent rendering across platforms.
