How the AI emoji generator works

Recraft's AI emoji generator turns a description into a custom emoji or sticker. Choose a style, describe your idea, then refine and export it. Here's how to create your custom emoji in four steps:

1

Choose an emoji style.

Pick from Recraft's ready-made styles—glossy 3D, flat, hand-drawn and more—or create your own custom style so a full set shares one consistent look.

2

Describe your emoji.

Enter a prompt with your subject, expression and colors. Add details like a glossy finish, outline or transparent background for a sharper result.

3

Generate and refine.

Hit Recraft to generate your emoji. Adjust colors, expression and composition, and regenerate until it's exactly right.

4

Download your emoji.

Export your emoji as a PNG with a transparent background, or as a JPG or SVG—ready for chat, your sticker pack or a brand kit.

Crisp emojis with transparent backgrounds

Recraft generates emojis at full resolution and can remove the background in one step—no blurry edges or stray pixels. Every emoji scales cleanly from a tiny chat icon to a large sticker. Refine and upscale in Recraft Studio's AI image generator.

One consistent style across a full set

Match every emoji in a pack to one look, or build separate sets for different brands. Lock in a saved custom style for repeatable results, and adjust any detail in Recraft Studio's AI image editor.
