# AI Emoji Generator

> Kenerate's AI emoji generator makes custom emoji from a description — 3D glossy or flat, any object, animal or mood — and can turn your own selfie into an emoji-style avatar. In our tests GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst made clean 3D glossy emoji, Recraft V4.1 bold flat ones, and Seedream 5.0 Pro turned a photo into an emoji avatar that kept the hair and face. Remove the background in Edit Studio for a transparent PNG. A free account gets 25 credits.
