Emotile app icon: a rainbow dissolving into emoji tiles

Emotile

Emoji mosaics, as you shoot.

Point the camera and what you see is already an emoji mosaic. Emotile hand-picks the emoji whose color and shape fit each tile, and rebuilds your photo as a mosaic of thousands of emoji.

Look closely — every tile is a real emoji. Tap a sample to zoom in and spot each ⏰🐭📁. Works just as well with your pet, your fave, or a selfie.

Slide to compare

Drag the handle. The tiles are never recolored — the mosaic is built only from real emoji whose own colors match the photo.

📸

Emoji Camera

Point it at anything and it is already converted. What you see on screen is what gets saved — photo or video.

🎬

Videos too

Turn a whole video into an emoji mosaic, frame by frame. Pick how Emoji Off and the mosaic swap over: fade, one by one, wipe or ripple.

🌈

Picked from 1,000+ emoji

For every tile, Emotile searches for the emoji that best matches the color and shape. Shuffle for a whole new arrangement of the same photo.

🖼️

No recoloring, ever

Tiles are never tinted or filtered. Real emoji, honestly arranged — that’s the Emotile way.

🎨

10 color filters

Mono, sepia, vivid, neon and more. Filters shift the photo’s colors to steer which emoji get chosen.

✍️

Text modes

Draw with kanji, letters, dot patterns, hieroglyphs or cuneiform instead of emoji — monochrome mosaics of type.

🍀

Lucky emoji

One emoji appears exactly once in each artwork. Follow the hint on the frame and try to find it.
