Love inserting emojis in your pictures? Now, there’s an app that allows users to convert their faces into emojis. Facetune’s new Memoki app by Lightrick lets users make their photos or selfies look more like emoticons.

The app offers numerous filters and emojis to its users. The app was released on Friday, 31st March with the aim to give the classic emoji treatment to user’s photos. “The current version allows photos to be warped into the crying-laugh emoji, the kissy-face emoji, the devil emoji, happy and sad emojis, a nauseous emojis, heart-eyes, sunglasses, smoking nostrils, and add the unicorn filter,” reported Mashable.

“Emojis have become a part of everyday conversation and guide the way we chat and share our emotions, but the overall reach and impact of this important technology is limited,” said Nir Pochter, chief marketing officer of Lightricks in a statement.

“As emoji connoisseurs, we knew that the next level of societal emojification was letting it guide the photo-editing process from the very start. People want more than to just send emojis, they want to be emojis. While the world is busy applying AI to silly ventures like autonomous vehicles and data analysis, we’re taking it to where the need is greatest – making us more sophisticated emotional beings – emojis,” he added.
