Why this tool
More than an emoji list
What makes this emoji copier different from typical sites.
One-click copy
Click an emoji to copy it instantly to your clipboard. Over 3,500 emojis in nine categories, even on mobile.
Collect selection
Each emoji you click is added to your selection. You can use them to build a message or bio and copy everything with one click.
Five skin colors
Choose a skin tone once, and all hands and people will appear and be copied in that tone. Your browser remembers your choice.
Search in your language
Search for “heart”, “flag”, or “fire”, paste an emoji, or enter a code like U+1F680. Search understands your language and English.
Shortcodes and codes for developers
For every emoji, you can view and copy its Unicode, HTML entity, CSS value, JavaScript escape, URL encoding and UTF-8 bytes. Most also have a Discord and Slack shortcode.
Stays in your browser
Your searches and selections aren’t sent anywhere. Your browser only remembers your chosen skin tone and recently copied emojis; you can clear the history with one click.
How it works
How to copy emojis
Three steps from search to insertion.
Step 1
Find emoji
Choose a category above, such as Smileys, Animals or Flags, or search by name, a shortcode like :fire:, or a code like U+1F680. For hands and people, choose one of five skin tones if needed.
Step 2
Click to copy
Click an emoji to copy it to the clipboard and add it to your selection. You can collect several emojis and copy them together with “Copy all”.
Step 3
Paste anywhere
Paste the emoji into your message, bio or code with Ctrl + V or Cmd + V. You’ll find HTML, CSS and JavaScript codes, and a Discord shortcode for most emojis, in the details.
Use cases
Emojis to copy for chats, bios and code
A copied emoji works like a letter. Here’s how to use it.
Messages, bios and comments
Emojis are text characters. Insert them into messages, comments and profiles like regular text, for example on WhatsApp or Instagram. To copy a whole string of emojis, collect them in your selection and copy them together.
Discord and Slack
Instead of inserting the emoji, you can type its shortcode, such as :fire: or :heart:. The tool shows the shortcode in the details for most emojis and lets you copy it with one click. Very new emojis often don’t have one yet.
Websites and code
For HTML, CSS and JavaScript, copy the appropriate format from the details. You’ll also find the Unicode code, URL encoding and UTF-8 bytes.
Guides
Type, use, and understand emojis
Keyboard shortcuts for the emoji keyboard, code examples and the answer to the flag question.
Open the emoji keyboard on PC, Mac, and phone
Each system has its own emoji picker. This tool also lets you copy emojis on any device and see their codes, but the system picker is faster if you just want to type quickly.
| System | Keyboard shortcuts |
|---|---|
| Windows | Windows key + . (period) or Windows key + ; |
| Mac | Control + Command + Space |
| iPhone, Android | Smiley key or globe key on the keyboard |
| Linux | Ctrl + . (period) in many GTK programs |

Chat: :rocket:Why do emojis look different everywhere?
Unicode only defines which emojis exist and what they're called. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, and others each draw their own versions. So when you copy an emoji, you copy the character, not the image.
Why does Windows show flags as letters?
A flag consists of two country letters that a device combines into a flag. Many Windows versions and browsers do not do this and show DE or US instead. The correct emoji was still copied; the flag appears normally on Macs, phones, and in many apps.
Emoji or symbol? And new emojis on older devices
Emojis are colorful pictographs; symbols like ♥ or → are text characters displayed in your font color. Older devices show very new emojis as boxes or question marks because they lack the update. Using an older emoji or having the recipient update their system can help.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about emojis and this tool.
Find an emoji using the categories or search, then click it to copy it instantly to your clipboard. Paste it with Ctrl + V, Cmd + V on a Mac, or a long press and “Paste” on a phone. If your browser blocks copying, the tool shows a notice so you can copy the emoji manually.
Yes. Every emoji you click is also added to your selection above the list. Build a string of emojis for a message or your bio, then copy them all at once with “Copy all”. You can also edit the field manually; “Clear” resets it.
Copy the emoji and paste it into a text field, such as a bio, message or comment. In Discord and Slack, you can also type the shortcode—the name between two colons, such as :fire:. Most emojis have a shortcode in their details that you can copy. Very new emojis often don’t have one yet.
Enter a name or keyword in the search, such as heart, flag, or fire. Search understands your language and English. You can also enter a shortcode like :smile:, a single emoji, or a code like U+1F680.
Enter Herz or heart in the search and click the heart you want. It will be copied to your clipboard. Alongside the red heart ❤️, you'll find colored hearts such as 💛 💚 💙 💜 🖤 🤍, the broken heart 💔 and the heart on fire ❤️🔥. You can copy the shortcode from the details; for the red heart, it's :heart:.
Choose one of the five skin tones above the list. Emojis with skin tone variants, such as hands and people, are immediately displayed and copied in that tone. Your browser remembers your choice. Emojis without variants, such as yellow faces, stay the same.
On Windows, press the Windows key and the period key, or the Windows key and the semicolon key. On a Mac, press Control, Command, and Space. On your phone, tap the smiley key on the keyboard. That lets you enter emojis without opening a website.
Unicode only defines what an emoji means, not what it looks like. Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Samsung each draw their own version of every emoji. So you copy the character, not the image. How it looks to the recipient depends on their device.
Many Windows versions and browsers show country flags as letter pairs like DE or US instead of images. The emoji was still copied correctly. On phones, Macs, and in many apps, the flag appears normally.
No. Your searches and selections stay in your browser and aren't sent anywhere. Your browser only stores your selected skin tone and recently copied emojis locally, and you can clear the history at any time.
