Emoji Translator (Text to Emoji)
Turn English text into emoji: replace words like love, pizza, dog and party with โค๏ธ ๐ ๐ถ ๐, add emoji after the words, or get an emoji-only summary.
Emoji look different on Apple, Google, Samsung and Windows devices, and very new ones may show as a box on older phones.
| Word | Emoji | Times |
|---|---|---|
| happy birthday | ๐๐ | 1 |
| love | โค๏ธ | 1 |
| pizza | ๐ | 1 |
| coffee | โ | 1 |
| beach | ๐๏ธ | 1 |
| ice cream | ๐ฆ | 1 |
Spice up a caption, a text message or a card by turning words into emoji. The translator knows about 400 English words and phrases, from feelings (happy ๐, love โค๏ธ) and food (pizza ๐, ice cream ๐ฆ) to animals, weather, sports, travel and country names, and understands plurals and verb forms, so cats, loving and danced work too. Add each emoji after its word, replace the words entirely, or get an emoji-only version of the sentence.
How to use this tool
- Type or paste your text.
- Choose whether to add the emoji after each word, replace the words, or show emoji only.
- Copy the result and paste it into your message or post.
- Check the table for the words that were matched.
Formula
Word (or two-word phrase such as ice cream) โ emoji from a keyword list; plurals and -ing/-ed forms are reduced to the base word first
The keywords are based on the English names and keywords that the Unicode Consortiumโs CLDR project gives each emoji, trimmed to the clear, common ones. Phrases are matched before single words, so โhot dogโ gives ๐ญ, not ๐ฅ๐ถ. Stemming tries the word itself, then without -s, -es (after s, x, ch, sh or o), -ies (โ y), -ing and -ed, so babies finds baby, foxes finds fox and running finds run, while hated stays hate rather than hat. Words that are not on the list are left as they are.
Example
With โadd after each wordโ, the sample becomes โHappy birthday ๐๐! I love โค๏ธ you more than pizza ๐ and coffee โ. Let us go to the beach ๐๏ธ and eat ice cream ๐ฆ.โ Emoji only gives ๐๐โค๏ธ๐โ๐๏ธ๐ฆ.
Frequently asked questions
Why does an emoji look different on my friendโs phone?
Each platform draws its own emoji, so the same character can look quite different on iPhone, Android and Windows. Very new emoji may not show at all on older systems.
Can it turn emoji back into words?
Use the emoji to text tool on this site, which replaces each emoji with its Unicode name.
Why was a word not turned into an emoji?
Only words on the built-in list are converted, and common words like the, and or very are deliberately left out so the result stays readable.
