About Use Emoji: Emoji Keyboard, Copy & Paste Emojis, Kaomoji & Symbols
Use Emoji is a free emoji keyboard for Chrome. Search all 1,870 emoji and copy one with a click, or type a code like :fire: on the websites you choose and it turns into 🔥 as you type. Plus 2,300+ kaomoji, hundreds of symbols and shortcuts of your own.
Formerly Copy Emoji. Same picker, same settings, a new name and a lot more to type.
😀 EMOJI PICKER: FREE, NO ACCOUNT, NO LIMITS
• Every emoji, all 1,870, searchable by name or keyword: type "heart" and the hearts are there
• Click an emoji and it is copied, ready to paste into an email, a chat, a post or a document
• The emoji you use most stay at the top
• Five emoji styles, including your system's own
• Six skin tones, light and dark themes
• Alt+Shift+E opens the picker from any tab (⌥⇧E on a Mac)
• Needs no website permission at all
• The interface speaks 52 languages; switch it any time in Settings. Emoji search and codes use English words
⌨️ TYPE :EMOJI: CODES ON THE SITES YOU CHOOSE
• Type a colon and two letters, and matching emoji appear right under your cursor
• Pick one with the arrow keys and Enter, or type the closing colon: :joy: becomes 😂, :heart: becomes ❤️, :tada: becomes 🎉, :+1: becomes 👍
• Undo right after gives you the code back
• Works in plain text boxes and rich text editors, on every site you turn it on for
• Alt+Shift+I turns typing off and on
• Password fields and code editors are always skipped, on purpose. Editors that draw text on a canvas, such as Google Docs, are not supported

• 2,700+ codes in all. Type them, or copy them from the popup's "Kaomoji & symbols" tab
✍️ YOUR OWN SHORTCUTS
• Save any text up to 64 characters behind a code you choose: :addr: for your address, :sig: for your email sign-off, :zoom: for your meeting link

❓ QUESTIONS
How do I type emoji on a PC or a Chromebook?
Press Alt+Shift+E in Chrome to open the picker, search, and click an emoji to copy it. Or turn on :emoji: typing for a site and type :smile: right in the text box.
How is it different from the emoji panel in Windows or macOS?
The built-in panels are good: Windows + . (period) on Windows, Control + Command + Space on a Mac. Use Emoji adds what they do not have: codes that turn into emoji as you type, 2,300+ kaomoji and symbols, shortcuts of your own, and the same picker on every computer you use Chrome on.
What are kaomoji?
Japanese emoticons drawn with text characters, like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ or (。◕‿◕。). They work anywhere text does, even where emoji do not.
Which browsers does it work in?
Chrome and other browsers built on Chromium, on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS.
