The EmojiFace app allows users to create personalized emoji icons using their own selfies. While many emoji keyboards are emerging to support pop culture and quirky lifestyles, this particular app creates one-of-a-kind emojis.
This easy-to-use app lets users snap adorable selfies, upload their favorite image and have their faces instantly transformed into a cartoon-like emoji. The app essentially uses the traditional emoji icons and places detailed characteristics onto the freshly taken photographs. For example, users can add eye glasses, books, money and halos to each of their personalized emojis.
EmojiFace can be used for iMessage, WhatsApp and social media postings as well. In addition to these personalized icons, users can upload images of their pets to create unique emojis of cats and dogs.
