How to Make Emojis Yourself

· Using Imojiapp

Download the app and open it. Tap the plus sign that will allow you to add a new “imoji”. Your camera will open up, and you can take a picture of yourself to use as the base to your emoji. Keep your face within the dotted oval for a good result.

If you want to use an older photo, tap “Photos” in the lower left corner and pick one. Move and resize the picture to have your face perfectly fitting the dotted oval, and then you can tap the arrow to move on.

Now, the Imoji app will cut the area outside the dotted oval, but users can also use their finger to trace an outline themselves. There is also a scissors button that will help you refine the edges.

Ultimately, you can choose to make your “imoji” public or keep it to yourself (and the people you share it with) by selecting to lock it.

To share the new emoji, you just need to tap it, and you will be given a list of options. Users can send it on Instagram, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, iMessage, or Twitter.

· Using Slack

Slack, the messaging app for teams, also lets users create custom emojis, and here is how to make emojis using this service.

Open Slack and click your team name. The “Team Menu” should open up and you can select “Customize Slack” to open your team site. You will see the “Emoji” tab, which you must click on. Choose a name for the new emoji and then click “Choose File” to select the picture you want to use. It is recommended that you upload a small, square image. The pictures also need to be JPG, GIF, or PNG, and no more than 128 pixels in height and width. There’s also a maximum 64Kb upload limit.

That’s it. Just click to “Save New Emoji” and you will get a confirmation message.
