OmniEmoji vs Bitmoji
Both let you build a custom emoji face from parts. The difference: OmniEmoji Workshop runs in your browser with no app, no Snap account, and no signup — while Bitmoji requires the Bitmoji app tied to a Snap account.

Is there a Bitmoji alternative that doesn't require an app?
Yes — OmniEmoji Emoji Workshop lets you build a custom emoji face directly in the browser, without installing the Bitmoji app or creating a Snap account. Works on iPhone, Android, Windows, and Mac.
Can I use my custom emoji as a Discord or Slack emoji?
Yes. OmniEmoji Workshop exports your custom emoji as a 128×128 PNG with transparent background, which is exactly what Discord and Slack require for custom emoji uploads. Bitmoji doesn't offer this workflow.
Does OmniEmoji Workshop work offline?
Once the tool loads, most editing works client-side in your browser. Only image export/download requires an active connection.
Is OmniEmoji Workshop free?
Yes, 100% free with no signup. Free users get standard PNG export; Pro ($6.67/mo yearly) adds HD PNG and SVG export.
Can I use my Workshop-designed emoji commercially?
Free downloads are for personal use. For commercial use (products, ads, merch, apps), upgrade to Pro or purchase a Commercial License starting at $29.
