    For immediate release

    Quetzal turns emoji into a creative toolkit: search 1,914 emoji, mix two into one, and translate sentences

    A free, keyboard-driven emoji workspace for creators, designers, and developers. No account needed.

    SCRANTON, Pa., Nov. 4, 2026

    Socialocca today highlighted Quetzal, a free, keyboard-driven emoji workspace that makes finding, copying, and creating with emoji fast and fun.

    Emoji are part of how people write online, but the tools for them haven't kept up. Phone keyboards bury them in long scrolls, and developers often need the exact code, not just the picture. Quetzal puts all of it in one place.

    What people can do with it

    • Search 1,914 emoji, up to Emoji 17.0, by name, shortcode, or codepoint
    • Copy in the format you need: CSS, HTML, JavaScript, Python, or shortcode
    • Mix any two emoji into one with the Mixer
    • Turn any sentence into emoji with the Translator
    • Compose and export emoji art as PNG, and emoji stories as GIF
    • Browse 67 vibe boards and 59 collections for inspiration

    Who it helps

    Quetzal is useful for social media creators writing captions, designers building visual content, and developers who need the precise code for an emoji.

    Availability

    Quetzal is free with no account at quetzal.socialocca.io. It officially launched in the fourth quarter of 2026.
