What counts as an emoji
The tool removes complete emoji, not just the base picture. That includes skin-tone variants such as 👏🏽, flags such as 🇺🇸, keycap emoji and combined emoji such as the family 👨👩👧, which are several emoji joined together. A summary says how many were removed.
Options
- Also remove symbols (✓ ★ © ™ ♥): off by default. Turn it on to remove text-style symbols and dingbats that are not full-colour emoji. Leave it off if you want to keep marks such as ©.
- Tidy up extra spaces (on by default): collapses the double spaces that removal leaves behind, trims the lines and removes spaces that end up before punctuation.
Good uses
- Cleaning social media comments and posts before text analysis.
- Preparing text for systems, fonts or printers that cannot show emoji.
- Making a plain-text version of a message or an email subject.
- Cleaning survey responses, chat logs and product reviews.
Tips
- Compare the result with the original if meaning depends on the emoji, such as “thanks 👍”.
- For other unwanted characters, use the Remove Special Characters.
- To add emoji or styled characters instead, see the Fancy Text Generator.
- Count the new length with the Word Counter if you have a limit to meet.
Frequently asked questions
Does it remove flags and skin-tone emojis?
Yes. Multi-part emojis such as flags, skin tones and family emojis are removed as a whole, leaving no stray characters.
Will it remove accented letters or other languages?
No. Only emojis (and optionally pictographic symbols) are removed. Letters in every language are kept.
Why was a symbol like ✓ not removed?
Plain symbols are kept unless you tick “Also remove symbols”. Only full emoji are removed by default.
Does it remove the spaces around emoji?
Yes, when “Tidy up extra spaces” is on, so “Hello 😀 World” becomes “Hello World”.
