There are several programs and web pages that offer us a large database of animated Emoji for free, but we have very few platforms that allow us to create an animated Emoji from photographs. For this reason we have done some research and found “EmotiYou” that allows you to do this work easily and with a very good finish. The environment offers nine animated templates that you can insert into your photos to generate a unique Emoji.
How to Convert Photos into an Animated Emoji
The first thing you have to do is go to the EmotiYou website and click the button “Create an Emoticon”. As soon as you do, the Emoji editor will open. In the editor, you will see a wizard that will help you make the animated Emoji in four steps.
- In the first step, the wizard will ask you to upload the photo. The editor supports drag-and-drop (it supports all popular formats).
- In the second step, you can crop the image. Simply drag the edges of the cropper from the corners to the center to get the framing you want. Then you just have to click “Next Step”.
- In the third step, all the animation templates will be shown (with a thumbnail of your image). Just click on a template and then select “Next Step”.
- In the fourth step, you can download the animated Emoji in GIF format, or share it via email.
You will also find on the website a large gallery of animated Emoji, perfectly divided by categories.
If what you are looking for is to be able to generate an animated Emoji from a photograph, EmotiYou makes this task very simple, thanks to its tools and virtual assistant. Although you won't find a great variety or a custom animation, this animated Emoji creator is free and doesn't require installation.
