Convert Photos to Emoji Art (Mosaic) Without Losing Detail
🖼️
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
- Crop tight around the subject.
- Boost contrast slightly (not saturation).
- Blur tiny background noise so the mosaic focuses on the subject.
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
- Small avatar: 24×24 to 40×40
- Medium post: 60×60 to 90×90
- Large art: 120×120+
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.
