Is my data stored on your servers?

No. The Emoji Picker runs 100% in your browser. Your recently used emojis are stored locally in your browser's localStorage. No data is transmitted or stored on any server.

Can I search in different languages?

The search uses English keywords. Type common words like 'heart', 'smile', 'cat', 'food', 'flag', etc. The emoji names and keywords are matched against your search query.

Why do some emojis look different on different devices?

Each operating system (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android) and browser renders emojis using its own design. The same Unicode code point may look different on Apple vs Google vs Microsoft devices. The underlying emoji is the same — only the visual representation varies.

How do I use the copied emoji?

After clicking an emoji to copy it, simply paste it (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) anywhere — text messages, social media posts, documents, code editors, websites, emails, etc. Emojis are standard Unicode characters that work in virtually all modern applications.
