Emotile: Emoji Mosaic Camera

Open Emoji Camera right from the Lock Screen (Control Center and the Action button too on iOS 18+). Point it at anything and it becomes an emoji mosaic on the spot.

Turn photos and videos into emoji mosaics. Emotile fills them with emoji that match their colors and shapes, so your picture reads as a photo from afar and as emoji up close.

■ Emoji Camera Whatever you point at is converted as you shoot, and what you see on screen is what gets saved. Tap the Emoji Off button and it switches to the plain camera image, so you can check your shot before you take it. You can open it straight from the Lock Screen, too.

■ Shoot, then Convert Shoot normally and turn it into an emoji mosaic afterwards. You can keep the original photo or video in your library too.

■ Choose Photo or Video Convert something you already have. Photos also work straight from the Share menu in Photos, so you can make one without leaving the app.

■ Make it yours Themed emoji groups like Cute, Food, and Faces change the whole mood of the same shot. Adjust the detail level and the tiles get bigger or smaller — bigger tiles look playful, smaller ones stay close to the original photo.

■ Something to find Each piece hides a “lucky emoji” that appears only once, and the frame tells you which one. Show the artwork to a friend and hunt for that one emoji together.

■ Save and share Save or share what you make with one tap. Photos can also be copied or shared as emoji text (Emotile Palette).
