Made by one person, for everyone who types
Use Emoji is an emoji keyboard for your browser, built by Artyom Shimanski, an independent developer, since 2025.
Why it exists
Emoji are the quickest way to add tone to a message, and still one of the slowest things to type on a computer. You stop, open a panel, scroll, search and click, and your train of thought is gone.
The first version of Use Emoji did one thing well: a picker in the toolbar that copies any emoji in one click. Version 1.1 added the other half. Type :fire: in any text box, on the sites you choose, and it becomes π₯ as you type, the way Slack and Discord have always let you. Kaomoji, symbols and codes of your own came with it.
How it is built
-
Free where it counts
The picker is free forever, with no account and no limits. Pro only lifts the limits on typing and custom codes.
-
Private by design
It runs only on the websites you allow, and codes are matched on your computer. What you type is never sent anywhere.
-
What you see is what it does
The demos on this site run the extensionβs own code, and every count on it comes from the productβs own data.
-
Yours to keep
Your custom codes live in your browser. Export them as a file any time, and nothing is deleted if you cancel Pro.
Now try it where you write
Add Use Emoji, open a site you write on and type :fire:. The picker is one click away in your toolbar.
