Emoji Remover
Paste text and strip out every emoji character, leaving only the non-emoji text behind. The tool uses a broad Unicode regex pattern that catches the standard emoji ranges, including flags, skin-tone modifiers, and compound emoji sequences.
This is useful for cleaning user-generated content for data processing, preparing text for systems that don't support emoji, or stripping decorative emoji from copy before using it in a formal context. The tool shows how many emoji characters were removed.
Everything runs in your browser — your text is never sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
Does this catch all emoji, including newer ones?▼
The regex covers the main Unicode emoji ranges and catches the vast majority of emoji in common use. Extremely new emoji added in the latest Unicode versions may occasionally slip through until the pattern is updated.
Will this remove other Unicode characters like CJK or Arabic?▼
No — the pattern targets emoji-specific Unicode ranges only. Regular Unicode text in any language (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Cyrillic, etc.) is left untouched.
What about emoji in the middle of words?▼
Emoji are removed wherever they appear, including in the middle of text. The surrounding text is joined together. If an emoji was the only content on a line, the line becomes blank.
