It turns some compatible emoji combinations into shareable stickers, so you can try a mashup instead of sending a standard emoji on its own.
What is Gboard’s Emoji Kitchen?
Emoji Kitchen is a Gboard feature for Android that offers specially drawn stickers based on emoji. The result is a sticker—not a newly standardized Unicode emoji character. Google introduced the feature as a way to get sticker suggestions by tapping an emoji in Gboard’s picker. Google’s original Emoji Kitchen announcement shows how the combinations can add a new visual twist to a familiar symbol.

The combinations can be unexpected: Google has shown examples including folded hands paired with a carrot and a pointing finger paired with a pig. That does not mean every pair of emoji will produce a sticker; Google says the feature works with compatible emoji, and some stickers may need to be downloaded. Google’s Emoji Kitchen page describes the feature and its compatibility caveat.
How to find Emoji Kitchen in Gboard
- Install or open Gboard, then open an app with a text field and tap the field to bring up the keyboard. Google’s Gboard help page documents this starting point.
- Tap Gboard’s Emoji button to open the emoji picker.
- Try tapping an emoji and look for sticker suggestions or Emoji Kitchen combinations in the emoji area. Choose a compatible suggestion to share it in your chat.
Google announced a refreshed Emoji Kitchen experience in September 2025 that lets users browse a sticker library, save favorites, and explore personalized suggestions. The exact navigation and labels are not specified in Google’s help instructions, so the updated browser may not appear the same way on every device or app version. If you only see suggestions after tapping an emoji, you can still try that original interaction.
