How to Use Emoji in Notion

Use this interactive demo to learn how to insert and customize emojis in your Notion pages.

Quick summary

Notion lets you insert emojis anywhere on a page using the built-in emoji picker triggered by typing a colon. You can also upload custom emoji images to personalize your entire workspace.


Steps

  1. Open the Notion page where you want to add an emoji and click inside the page at the exact spot where the emoji should appear.
  2. Type a colon (:) followed by the emoji name — for example, type :smile — to trigger the emoji suggestion menu.
  3. Select the desired emoji from the emoji picker that appears in the dropdown.
  4. Click (+) Add custom emoji if you want to upload your own emoji image for use across the workspace.
  5. Press Enter to confirm and add the emoji to your Notion page.

📌 Why this matters

Notion's built-in emoji support lets teams visually organize pages, highlight key content, and personalize workspaces without leaving the editor. By simply typing a colon shortcode, users can instantly access hundreds of emojis or upload custom images, making documentation more engaging and scannable. This feature improves productivity by reducing friction in page formatting and helping teams create branded, visually consistent Notion workspaces at scale.
