Try our Text to Emoji Art converter for instant results. Emoji art works best when it’s built on a grid. The goal: the same width per line so the shape doesn’t “drift”.

1) Use a fixed-width grid

When possible, write the art in a monospaced editor (even Notepad works). Then copy-paste to your platform.

2) Pick 2 emojis: fill + background

3) Five starter templates

🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥
🟥⬜️⬜️⬜️🟥
🟥⬜️🟥⬜️🟥
🟥⬜️⬜️⬜️🟥
🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥

Replace the center with your letter/shape. Keep the border consistent.

4) Make it readable on mobile

If your art looks “misaligned”, the platform may be using proportional spacing. Try a different background emoji or reduce width.
