How it works

Upload Your Photo

Drop your image with emoji overlays into EditThisPic. Works with screenshots, social media saves, and photos with emoji stickers. Supports JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

Expect: Simple emoji removals: 15-20 seconds. Multiple emoji overlays: may need 2-3 refinements.
Describe What You Want

Type your instruction: 'remove the emoji sticker from the face and restore the skin underneath' or 'remove all emoji overlays and show clean background.' Be specific about which emoji to remove if there are multiple. No marking needed—the AI understands emoji overlays.

Tip: Mention what should replace the emoji: 'restore the original face' or 'fill with background'

Review and Download

Check the result at full zoom to ensure the emoji is completely removed and the background looks natural. Download your clean photo in full resolution with no watermark.
Refine with Markers if Needed

If edges remain or the AI missed parts of the emoji, tap markers on those specific spots and regenerate. This is optional—most emoji removals work without markers.

Tip: Markers are for precision refinement, not a required step. Try without them first.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or removed something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which emoji you meant from description alone. This happens when there are multiple overlays or similar elements.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific emoji you want to remove, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Emoji edges still visible after removal

Why: Semi-transparent emoji or emoji with gradients can leave faint outlines that need extra attention.

Try: Add 'including all edges and shadows' to your prompt and regenerate

Try This →

Tip: For stubborn edges, place markers around the emoji perimeter

Background reconstruction looks blurry or unnatural

Why: The AI struggled to infer what was behind the emoji, especially over complex textures or patterns.

Try: Try 'remove emoji and blend with surrounding area' for better texture matching

Try This →

Only part of the emoji was removed

Why: Multi-color emoji or emoji with outlines may be detected as separate elements.

Try: Use 'remove the entire emoji sticker including border' to ensure complete removal

Quick answers

Do I need to mark the emoji before describing?

No! Just describe what you want: 'remove the emoji sticker from the face' or 'remove all emoji overlays.' The AI understands emoji as overlay elements. Only use markers when you have multiple emoji and need to specify which one, or when refining edges after your first attempt.

How do I remove emoji from photos for free?

Upload your photo to EditThisPic, type 'remove the emoji sticker' and describe where it is, then download. Free to use, no account required, no watermark. Works on selfies, screenshots, and social media photos with emoji overlays.

Can it remove emoji from faces without ruining the photo?

Yes. The AI reconstructs skin texture, tone, and features behind the emoji. Works best on photos where the emoji is clearly an overlay (bright, high contrast) rather than blended into the image.

What's the best free tool to remove emoji stickers?

EditThisPic's AI Emoji Remover is free, requires no signup, and intelligently reconstructs the area behind emoji overlays. Unlike basic clone tools, it understands skin texture and background patterns for natural results.
