What It Does

Accessing the Emoji library can be painful on some operating systems. You always have to leave the editor which is not useful for distraction-free writing.

This plugin reduces the burden by implementing an easy to use Emoji picker in the block toolbar. It can be used with any WordPress theme and is compatible only with WordPress (Gutenberg) Core. Third-party page builders will probably not work.

Emojis have become popular culture and are here to stay but choose them wisely and avoid excessive use in your business communication.

The Emoji Mart library has been developed by Missive. If you like this plugin and are missing a powerful Icon library in your Editor, you may find our <i> Toolbar plugin useful.
