Make a text emoji in seconds, or combine photos, video frames, gradients and flipbook animation into compact reactions for work chats—all on your iPhone. Turn everyday replies such as “Checking,” “At lunch,” and “Thank you!” into custom emoji that are easy to spot and quick to understand. Emoji Foundry is an iPhone editor for crafting text, photos and video frames into compact square icons. Adjust fonts, outlines, shadows, colors, gradients and text placement while watching the result, then save it as a PNG or animated GIF. Key features • Make text-only emoji without limits • Switch the app interface between Japanese and English • Keep your five most recent text entries on device • Learn the real editor through a guided spotlight tour • Leave text empty for image-only and video-based emoji • Use solid, linear or radial color treatments for text and backgrounds • Choose from nine styles based on SF Pro, SF Rounded, New York and SF Mono • Place adjustable top or bottom captions without covering the center artwork or splitting the background • Capture any point from a video in Photos or Files • Combine a base image and moving artwork in GIFs of up to 50 frames • Start with spin, bounce and shake motion presets • Unlock upright orbit, zoom, hop, text effects and multi-scene sequences with Pro • Save PNGs and GIFs to Photos, Files or the share sheet • Automatically choose the largest resolution up to 512 px while targeting the 128 KB size guide On supported devices, use Apple Image Playground to create artwork for base images or moving assets. Emoji Foundry removes the background where possible and keeps the foreground artwork in an on-device asset shelf for reuse and PNG export. Availability depends on Apple Intelligence support and device settings. Font, Look, Layout and text-only PNG exports remain unlimited. You can save five images or basic GIFs created from Motion before purchasing. The one-time Pro unlock removes the save limit and adds advanced motion and multi-scene editing. No account is required. Emoji Foundry does not send your media to its own server or to third-party generative AI APIs.
