FAQ
What types of photos work best for emojis?
Headshots and close-up faces work best—they maintain detail at small sizes. Full-body photos may lose important details. Use high-contrast, well-lit photos with clear subjects.
How do I avoid jagged edges in my emoji?
Use the Remove Background feature to create clean edges. Export at higher resolutions (128px or 256px) if available. Solid outlines read better at small sizes than complex details.
Why do faces lose detail at small sizes?
Emojis display at 32–48px, so fine facial details get compressed. Use simple, bold features and high contrast. Avoid overly detailed photos—simpler is better for emoji clarity.
