How to Combine Emojis: A Complete Guide

Combining emojis is one of the most fun things you can do with your phone or computer in 2026. By mixing two standard emojis together, you get a brand new image that blends both — and the results are often hilarious, adorable, or surprisingly expressive. This guide covers everything you need to know about how to combine emojis, from using our free online tool to understanding how the technology works behind the scenes.

Method 1: Use Our Free Online Emoji Combiner

The fastest and easiest way to combine emojis is with our free Emoji Combine tool. It works on any device — phone, tablet, or computer — and requires no downloads or signups. Here is how:

1. Go to emojicombine.com — the tool loads instantly in your browser.
2. Pick your first emoji — browse the emoji grid or use the search bar to find the emoji you want. Click or tap it to select.
3. Pick your second emoji — the tool automatically moves to the second slot. Choose any emoji to combine with your first pick.
4. See the result — your combined emoji appears in the result area with a satisfying animation. If no combination exists for that pair, you will see a message to try different emojis.
5. Copy or download — click "Copy" to add the image to your clipboard (paste directly into messages), or "Download" to save it as a PNG file.

Method 2: Google Gboard Emoji Kitchen

If you use an Android phone with Google's Gboard keyboard, you can access emoji combinations directly in your keyboard. This feature is called Emoji Kitchen and it works like this:

1. Open any messaging app (WhatsApp, Messages, Telegram, etc.).
2. Tap the emoji button on your Gboard keyboard.
3. Tap one emoji — you will see a row of combination suggestions appear above the keyboard.
4. Tap a second emoji — the suggestions update to show combinations of both emojis.
5. Tap any suggestion to send it as a sticker in your conversation.

The Gboard method works great on Android but is not available on iPhone or desktop computers. That is why our web-based tool exists — it brings the same technology to every platform.

Which Emojis Can Be Combined?

Not every emoji pair has a combination. Google's artists have hand-drawn thousands of combinations, but they tend to focus on the most popular emojis. Here are the categories with the most combinations:

• Smiley faces — nearly every face emoji can be combined with hearts, objects, and other faces. These make up the largest group.
• Hearts — red heart, broken heart, sparkling heart, and other heart emojis combine beautifully with faces and animals.
• Animals — dogs, cats, bears, frogs, and other animal faces work with many partner emojis. Check our animal combinations for examples.
• Food — popular food emojis like pizza, burger, and coffee have a good number of combinations. See our food combinations.
• Objects and symbols — fire, sparkles, lightning, and other symbols combine well with faces.

As a general rule, face emojis have the most combinations available. If you get a "no combo found" result, try using a face emoji as one of your two picks.

Tips for Finding Great Combinations

• Mix emotions with objects — Combining a facial expression with an object (like crying face + fire) often produces the most surprising results.
• Try opposites — Devil + angel, happy + sad, fire + snowflake — contrasting emojis create the most interesting mashups.
• Use hearts liberally — The red heart emoji combines well with almost everything and usually produces heartwarming results.
• Experiment freely — The tool is free and instant. Try random combinations and you will stumble onto hidden gems.
• Browse our collections — Check out our curated combo categories for inspiration: funny, love, sad, animals, and food.

Where Can You Use Combined Emojis?

Once you copy or download a combined emoji, you can use it almost anywhere that supports images:

• iMessage and text messages (paste from clipboard)
• WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Discord
• Instagram stories and posts
• TikTok comments and captions
• Twitter/X posts
• Email and Slack
• As a custom sticker or profile picture

The combined emoji is saved as a standard PNG image, which means it works everywhere images are supported.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is combining emojis free?

Yes, our emoji combiner is completely free with no limits. You can create, copy, and download as many combinations as you want without signing up or paying anything.

Do emoji combinations work on iPhone?

Google's Emoji Kitchen in Gboard is primarily an Android feature. However, our web-based emoji combiner works on every device including iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Windows computers.

Why does my combination show "no combo found"?

Not every pair of emojis has a combination. Google's team has created thousands of mashups, but some pairs simply do not have an artwork. Try swapping one of the emojis for a face or heart emoji, which have the most combinations available.

Can I combine more than two emojis?

Currently, emoji combinations work with exactly two emojis. You cannot chain three or more together into a single image. However, you can create multiple two-emoji combos and use them side by side in your messages.
