Use emojis

Last updated on Jun 24, 2025

Learn how to integrate emojis into your edits using Adobe Premiere Pro on macOS.

Emojis are designed to look great in Premiere Pro, no matter what font you have selected, using a fallback system that will always default emojis on Mac to use the Apple Emoji Color font, the same emoji font as from an iPhone.

Access the new Emojis & Symbols picker through the main Edit menu, and effortlessly insert emojis directly into your text layers.

  1. Select the Type tool.

  2. Select the Program Monitor to create a text on a point or draw a text box to create a paragraph text.

  3. From the Edit menu, select Emoji & Symbols.

  4. In the minimized view of the Emoji & Symbols picker you can single click or in the expanded view you can double-click to add an emoji to your text layer.

  5. Customize your emoji experience further by defining a different default emoji font.

Tip:

Due to limitations in Windows, the default Segoe UI Emoji Font will render in black and white. We hope to add a satisfying emoji experience for Windows users soon. To access the Windows Emoji panel, press Windows + period (.) key and insert emojis from there into your text layers.
