Emoji Remover

How to use

1. 1Paste any text containing emoji into the input area. Tweets, Instagram captions, chat exports, CSV cells, product descriptions, and long documents all work; the tool processes up to 500,000 characters per pass.
2. 2Pick a replacement mode: Nothing removes each emoji entirely, A single space keeps word boundaries intact, and Custom placeholder lets you mark the spot with text like [emoji] or (icon).
3. 3Toggle Collapse extra spaces to merge multiple spaces left behind by removed emoji, and Trim each line when emoji sat at the start or end of a line.
4. 4Turn on Also strip dingbats and misc symbols for an aggressive sweep that also removes characters in U+2600..U+27BF, and Also strip combining marks to clean up stacking marks used for zalgo-style text.
5. 5Copy the cleaned text with the Copy cleaned text button, or read the Emoji found panel for a frequency-sorted breakdown with code-point sequences and per-row copy buttons.

About this tool

Emoji Remover strips emoji and emoji-related code points out of any pasted text and returns a clean version you can copy back into a spreadsheet column, a CSV export, a contract, an email subject line, a database INSERT, an SEO meta description, a transcription, or an LLM prompt where pictographs would break formatting or skew tokenization. The detector is built on Unicode's Extended_Pictographic property, which is the same rule the Unicode Consortium uses to decide what counts as a pictograph, and the cluster matcher correctly handles the four kinds of compound emoji that single-character matchers miss: skin-tone modifier sequences (a person plus U+1F3FB through U+1F3FF), variation selector sequences (a base plus U+FE0F), zero-width-joiner sequences for families, professions, and gender variants (a base joined by U+200D to one or more additional bases), and regional-indicator pairs that render as country flags. Tag-sequence subdivision flags like Scotland and the keycap base U+20E3 are also matched as single clusters so a counter of 1 means one human-visible emoji, not three separate code points. The frequency panel shows each unique emoji with its hit count and full Unicode code-point sequence (so you can paste U+1F926 U+1F3FB U+200D U+2640 U+FE0F into a bug report or documentation), and a Copy as TSV button exports the whole list to a spreadsheet. Replacement modes cover the three real workflows: remove entirely so the output looks like the emoji were never there, replace with a single space when an emoji was acting as a word separator and you want to preserve the gap, or replace with a custom placeholder like [emoji] when you need a marker for an editor to fill in later. Optional cleanups handle the second-order mess pictographs leave behind: collapse runs of spaces into one, trim leading and trailing whitespace from each line, also strip combining marks for zalgo-style text, and an aggressive Also strip dingbats and misc symbols toggle that extends the sweep into U+2600 through U+27BF for cases where check marks, stars, and arrows used as ornaments also need to go. Useful for SEO teams normalizing product descriptions before they hit a search index, marketing teams cleaning up scraped social comments for a sentiment pass, content editors stripping celebratory emoji out of a contract draft, ecommerce teams keeping CSV uploads compatible with a back-office system that does not handle multi-byte characters, customer-support teams pasting tickets into systems that do not render emoji, and anyone preparing a text dataset for an LLM that bills by token. Everything runs locally in your browser using a native Unicode-aware regex; the pasted text, the cleaned output, and the emoji inventory never leave your device.
