Find ? Faster With Emojicopy
Windows / Mac: I accidentally mentioned the existence of Emojicopy the other day in one of our secret Lifehacker chats, and was surprised to find that no one had ever heard of this site. It got me thinking: how do most people look for emojis to add to posts, blog posts, and other important documents?
You can of course insert emoji manually via Windows or Mac , but I have always kept Emojicopy as a bookmark in the foreground in my browser. On my Mac, I always forget the keyboard shortcut Control + Command + Space to bring up the Character Viewer. Plus, Emojicopy makes it easy to copy a string of emoji – like one of those things you send your friends, “I’m telling you what we’re going to do, but I’m using silly little images for that,” while the character viewer only allows insert one at a time. Fur.
In Emojicopy, all of your potential picks are grouped into eight different categories, all searchable. Also, I love that the emoji themselves are pretty big. I have great eyesight and all, but it’s just nice to have emojis larger than what you find when using the character tools built into your operating system.
Using Emojicopy is simple: click on what you want to copy and it will appear in a small panel at the bottom of your browser. Download the complete “emoji phrase” for no better way to describe it and hit “copy” to do just that. Then just paste your emoji into whatever you’re working on: a love letter, your resume, an angry article, and so on.
