Type :code: and see the result as you write.
How does it work?
This tool replaces emoji shortcodes written between colons with actual emoji characters. Everything else in your text stays the same. You can combine several codes in a message, social post or note.
- Enter text with a shortcode, such as :heart:.
- The result updates as you type. Use the Quick add buttons to insert common codes.
- Use Copy result to put the converted text on your clipboard.

Launch 🚀Frequently asked questions
How should I write a code?
Put the name between colons, for example :rocket:, :fire: or :white_check_mark:. Some underscore and hyphen variations are also recognized.
What if a code does not convert?
Unknown codes stay unchanged. Check the spelling or try a Quick add button. If the emoji library cannot load, basic codes remain available.
Is my text sent to the server?
Conversion happens in your browser. Your entered text is not sent to this site’s server for conversion. Google Analytics measures site visits. Privacy Policy.
Emoji codes and language options
Emoji shortcodes are not a universal format defined by Unicode; apps may use different names. This tool converts supported shortcode names into Unicode emoji characters. For example, :heart: and the Turkish starter alias :kalp: produce the same heart emoji.
The Turkish, Spanish, German and French pages include a small starter set of localized aliases for common examples. For broader compatibility, use English shortcode names. Changing the page language changes interface text and this limited alias set; it does not localize the Unicode emoji itself.
What if a code is not recognized?
Unrecognized shortcodes are left unchanged, along with the surrounding text. Check the spelling or search the emoji code guide. Matching ignores letter case and supports some hyphen/underscore variations.
Why can an emoji look different?
The result is a standard Unicode emoji character. Its artwork and color can vary by operating system, browser and app, and are outside this site’s control.
A small browser-based utility
Conversion happens in your browser; the text you enter is not sent to this site’s server for conversion. The shortcode list may be loaded at runtime from open-source emoji data files. If those files cannot be reached, the tool continues with its basic built-in codes. See the Privacy Policy for optional analytics and advertising choices.
