What is it?

EmojiFace (FaceMoji) is an image tool that finds faces in a picture and covers each one with an emoji by default, with a blur option available in settings. On Android it can be opened from the app itself or launched through the system share sheet from other apps. A web version runs in the browser and can be installed as a PWA.

After detection, you can add, move, or delete emoji and blur regions by hand to fix missed or incorrect detections. Blur styles include Gaussian blur, pixelation, and a halftone dot effect that differs from the standard definition. Custom emoji font files can be imported.

All processing happens locally on the device or in the browser, so images are not uploaded. Face detection uses a pretrained YOLOv8-face model, which can miss or misidentify faces in some cases.
