Microsoft makes almost its entire emoji collection available for free on Github under the MIT license. Only Karl Klammer does not exist there.
Microsoft has released 1,538 of its emojis and made them available both on Github under the MIT license and in Microsoft’s emoji library in Figma. This means that most of Microsoft’s emojis are available for use in your own projects. The only exception are emojis that are not available in the library due to trademark rights – such as Karl Klammer and national flags.
According to Microsoft’s design boss Jon Friedman, a whole team of designers and engineers worked on it for more than a year. This means that a large part of Microsoft’s emojis are available for use in your own projects, in all the required formats – such as vector graphics (SVG), but also as PNG files (3D). 3D is available as a transparent PNG with 256 x 256 pixels. A vector version, a flat version and a monochrome version were created for each emoji to ensure scalability and flexibility. Any size variant of the emoji can be exported from the color SVGs as PNG. Different hair colors, headgear, skin tones and other details are also available.
