Remove Emoji from Text
Strip all emoji and pictographic symbols from text, leaving clean words.
Emoji are delightful in a chat and a nuisance in a spreadsheet. Text scraped from social media, exported from messaging apps, or pasted from a colorful document often carries emoji that break data imports, clutter formal writing, or confuse systems that expect plain characters.
Paste your text and this tool strips out every emoji and pictographic symbol — including flags, skin-tone modifiers and zero-width joiners that hold compound emoji together — while leaving your words, numbers and punctuation intact. It also tidies the double spaces that removed emoji leave behind. Everything runs locally in your browser.
