Emoji Kitchen

Emoji Ecosystem

A Google feature that lets users combine two emoji into creative mashup stickers, available in Gboard and Google Search.

Emoji Kitchen, launched by Google in 2020, generates unique sticker combinations by artistically merging two emoji. For example, combining 🐢 and 🔥 creates a fire-breathing turtle sticker.

The combinations are pre-rendered by designers at Google — they're not generated algorithmically. There are tens of thousands of possible combinations, with new ones added regularly.

Emoji Kitchen stickers are available in Gboard (Google's keyboard) and through Google Search. They demonstrate how emoji have evolved beyond simple characters into a creative expression platform.
