Remove Emojis From Text

Any Unicode Extended_Pictographic character: smileys, objects, symbols like the check mark, two-letter flags built from regional indicators, and multi-part sequences joined with zero-width joiners such as a family or a profession emoji. Each of those is treated as one unit and removed whole.

Only if you ask it to. By default the surrounding spaces stay exactly as you typed them, which is why 'Hello 👋 world' becomes 'Hello world' with a double space. Turn on 'Collapse extra spaces' and 'Trim ends' to tidy those gaps.

Yes. Dollar signs, euro signs, equals signs, arrows and similar text symbols are not pictographic emoji, so they stay. Only emoji-class characters are stripped, which lets a line like 'Price is $5 = €4 ✅' keep the price and drop just the check mark.

Cleanly. A skin-tone modifier is part of its emoji, so 'thumbs up' with a tone is removed as a single unit and the counter shows one. Flags are two regional-indicator letters and are removed as a pair, never leaving a lone letter behind.

Emoji use invisible glue characters, the zero-width joiner and the variation selector. After stripping the visible emoji the tool also sweeps up any orphaned joiners and selectors so you are not left with invisible junk in the text.

Not always. A keycap like the '5' key is a normal digit plus an enclosing mark. The digit is kept because it is real text, so you may see the underlying number remain. If you also need to drop those digits, edit them out by hand after cleaning.

There is no fixed cap. It runs on your device, so very large pastes are limited only by your browser's memory. For most captions, names, spreadsheet columns and chat logs it is effectively instant.

Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser and nothing is uploaded to a server. You can even use it offline once the page has loaded.

Yes. This tool exposes a JSON endpoint that accepts a 'text' field plus optional 'collapseSpaces' and 'trim' flags, and returns the cleaned text along with a count of how many emoji were removed.
