ICON OOP now includes an emoji section. Browse over 1,700 full-colour emojis, resize them, add a background if you want, and download each one as an SVG or a PNG. The emoji artwork is open-source, so you can use it in your own projects.
How to download an emoji
- Open the tool and click the Emoji tab, or search by name such as “heart”, “rocket” or “smile”.
- Click an emoji to open it. You can set the size and add a background.
- Download it as an SVG, or as a transparent PNG at the resolution you need.
Why these emojis are different from your keyboard
The emoji on your phone or laptop are part of the operating system. You cannot easily save one as an image file, and they look different on every device. The emoji in ICON OOP are real, downloadable image files. They look the same everywhere, and you can drop them into a website, an app, a slide deck or a video.
Where the emojis come from
ICON OOP uses Twemoji, the open emoji set originally created by Twitter and now community-maintained. The artwork is licensed under CC-BY 4.0, which allows commercial use. This licence asks for one thing the icon sets do not: a short credit line if you use the emoji. A line such as “Emoji artwork by Twemoji, CC-BY 4.0” in your footer is enough. See the licensing guide for detail.
Emoji categories
The set covers all the everyday groups: smileys and emotions, people and gestures, animals and nature, food and drink, travel and places, activities, objects, symbols and flags. Searching by what you want is usually fastest.
Resize and place emojis anywhere
Because each emoji downloads as an SVG, it stays sharp at any size, from a tiny inline icon to a large graphic. If you need a pixel image instead, export a PNG at 2x or 4x. The SVG vs PNG guide explains which to choose.
More than emojis
The emoji section sits alongside 23,000+ icons and brand logos in the same tool. Have a look at the browse page to see everything ICON OOP offers.
