Vision Emoji

Point your camera at anything and watch emojis appear in real time — powered by on-device AI.

VisionEmoji uses advanced on-device machine learning to detect real-world objects through your camera and instantly overlays matching Apple emojis on top of them — all in real time.

Powered by YOLO26 Detect & Classification models, a state-of-the-art object detection model running entirely on your device's Apple Neural Engine, VisionEmoji recognizes over 80 object categories including people, animals, vehicles, food, electronics, and more. A secondary classification model identifies over 1,000 specific object types for even more accurate emoji matching.
