Emoji Kitchen

Step 1 / 4 Emoji mash-up

Paste two emoji to build a Google Emoji Kitchen mash-up link.

Google’s Emoji Kitchen (also called “mashup”) takes two emojis and generates a hand-drawn sticker combining them. The results are weird, charming, and often extremely specific: a chef-hat avocado, a heart on fire, a cat wearing sunglasses. This page lets you browse and combine any two emojis and shows all available mashups without needing to be in Gboard.

    Clicking a single emoji shows every combination Google has drawn for it.

What the Emoji Kitchen actually is

Launched by Google in 2020, the Emoji Kitchen is a Gboard (Google Keyboard) feature that shows a hand-illustrated sticker combining two emojis. Unlike generic image blending, every mashup is hand-drawn by Google’s design team and shipped with Gboard updates. That means:

  • Not every pair is supported.
  • Some pairs have multiple variants (direction matters: heart + cat may differ from cat + heart).
  • The full catalog has grown to over 100,000 unique mashups.

Categories of mashups that work well

  • Face + object: sunglasses cat, party hat penguin, mask avocado
  • Object + object: heart on fire, pizza with a heart, taco with eyes
  • Food + face emotion: crying pizza, love-eyes donut, sleepy burger
  • Animal + accessory: cowboy cat, chef dog, princess frog
  • Plant + emotion: laughing cactus, sad flower

What does not work

  • Obscure flags combined with faces.
  • Two flags together.
  • Modified emojis (skin tones, ZWJ sequences) usually not supported individually.
  • Very new emojis added in recent Unicode updates; they take time to be illustrated.

Output format

The mashup is a PNG sticker from Google’s hosted sticker set. The tool embeds the image directly from Google’s public sticker URL. If Google stops hosting a given pair, the image falls back to a placeholder.

Using mashups outside Gboard

  • Chat apps with image support (Discord, Telegram, Signal): drop the PNG directly.
  • Social media (Twitter, Instagram): upload as image.
  • iMessage/SMS: works as a picture message.
  • Email: embed as inline image.

The raw mashup is an image, not a Unicode character, so you cannot “type” it. It is a sticker you send.

When the kitchen disappoints

Mashups are a surprise box. Some pairs are delightful; some are obvious (“thumbs up + thumbs up = just a thumbs up”); some are disappointing blobs. Browse before committing to a mashup for serious content.

Legal note

The stickers are Google art. Casual reuse in chats and personal content is fine; commercial use (merchandise, branded marketing) without permission is not. Google has not published explicit terms for Kitchen stickers beyond their general Gboard terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Google only illustrates certain pairs. The coverage is broad but not complete. If a combination fails, try swapping the order or picking a closely related emoji; many face emojis have similar variants that do render.

No, not with this tool. The mashups come from Google’s hand-drawn catalog; you are browsing and combining the existing set. For custom mashups, an image editor and two source emojis are your path.

Only a subset. Google prioritized popular emojis (faces, animals, food, common objects) and a curated secondary list. Newer emojis and niche categories may not be illustrated yet.

No. Combinations are generated in your browser without tracking. The PNG images are loaded directly from Google’s CDN.
